You just need a bigger ditch to catch the Floridians.

Never understand how almost anyone with a truck cannot make it in to an area i'm able to pull the truck with a 17' trailer through.

2 wheel drive truck.....?
Never herda such athang.

Us folk on the east side of 25 own a few

I'm glad you put that dent in Jim's garage first, because I put my mirror on it once after you did.

Usually someone helps guide me in.

But I digress...

Shovels, tire chains, and as Jim likes to point out, four snow tires on a two wheel drive truck, I have these things. I don't really have a problem staying on the road. It's that twice I have decided it would be a good idea to go off it.



The US Cargo link was informative. Think I will buy a recovery strap, a shackle, and a 6 pack of Miller Lite as bait for someone with an F250.

I was going to make a joke about buying more Snapples because I swear I've seen driving tips under the caps, but it doesn't get much more hilarious than this^^^^.

Not all of us drink miller...

Those straps are way overkill for your little truck. That's for a full blown off road recovery.

I carry keeper brand straps. They're not too expensive if you cut one because some dumbass wrapped it around the bumper and not the tow hook...
