- My friend got himself stuck in a pretty deep puddle two days ago. In the
- meantime the puddle has turned to solid ice. Teh front of the vehicle
- is about 15" under water/ice, the rear - well - his 31" tires barely
- stick out of the ice. The ice is only 1/2" thick, but still enough to
- keep the thing in there. Yesterday we pulled only very lightly and tore
- his bumper off - oops. Now: what is a smarter approach? We are
- thinking of first using a sledgehammer to crush the ice, then pull with
- two trucks. Is there a smarter approach? There is no way to get a
- tow-truck near this, by the way. almost got my Toyota stuck just going
- there....
-
- Any seasoned four-wheelers out there?
