Jeep experts, what model is that cool little red Jeep I pulled out? Is it a CJ5 or CJ7? How do you know? I don't know my Jeep models but slowly trying to learn them.

Hahaha, man it looks like you are having a blast Shane! 38” MT’s on portal axles seems to be the winter wheelin ticket!!!

also, very productive days! I got to yank out a woman that slid into the ditch by Kelly Dahl. she had gotten a flat earlier that day and the donut was on the front-passenger side. going around that corner that tire lost traction and just put her in the deep stuff. it was just not her day, haha.

Shane I think a set of frame hooks are in oder. I have been considering getting a pair. They run about $150 for a good set. Like Windom towing uses to yank all those people out on his U-Tube channel.
Ah I decided to look into the tow hooks, found a set for $55. So I decided to treat myself that for my B-day.

Shane, if you’re still looking for pac boots check with farm and ranch stores like Murdoch’s in Longmont or Tractor Supply. They usually have them. (Though it is getting a bit late in the season.). JAX might still have some, or Scheels.

8 more today, it's strangely satisfying, is this what people like about catch and release?
This wasn't even stuck, I just got out to take a picture because the trail looked so crazy.
Also, I ran into Jake (with the F-150) today and helped him get turned around. He told me it was way too deep further on but I wanted to check it out. He said he didn't think I could get through but I was feeling confident after last week that I would be fine. Sure enough, couldn't drive through, but was able to winch through.
I winched through one direction, helped a rental SxS that was more buried than I had ever seen before. I walked up and said "first rule of holes, when you find yourself in a hole, keep digging as far as you can?" I wonder if the rental companies are turning people loose on Switzerland now, due to not being allowed on Bunce (I think I heard something about that)?
Once they were out, I tried again to drive over where I had just winched through, no luck again. Later I met up with phantom member Nick (67 Bronco) and he wanted to give it a try to. After he winched through I was able to drive through. I think I have a new strategy, just follow Nick around when it gets so deep the winches need to come out.
Also, everyone who loves V8s needs to take 8 seconds to listen to Nick's Bronco tearing through the snow

So one of the guys I pulled out last weekend, before that I drove by him while playing around on Switzerland and he happened to film me climbing one of the little hills there. I just got an email from him today sending me the video. People say they will send a picture or video fairly frequently but nobody seems to actually ever do it so that just made my day.

Holy cow, so many people stuck! That's awesome, Shane.
I personally recommend gaiters over the top of any boots. I got some and used then snow wheeling a while ago and they worked GREAT for going through deep snow around our trucks.

How is it I grew up in Alaska and have never used gators in the snow? Thanks for the tips.
ha! my jeep turned itself into a Ford this week. Had to use (horrendous) Jeep Roadside assistance. Been at the dealer for 5 days with no diagnosis yet.
