I got a phone call shortly after getting home from work on Friday about somebody being stuck in an F150 somewhere out on Transmitter Rd here on Eielson AFB turned out to be a cheby 1500 and that they needed a winch. I was getting ready for baseball practice at the time so I figured it would be an easy pull and I would be able to get there and back quickly...couldn't be more wrong. 8000# wasn't enough. Here are some pictures after I called my friend Tom to come help since I couldn't get the job done:
The three above here are what I saw when I pulled up, you can barely make out my winch line in the third photo. So Tom tried with his 9000# and moved him a little but not nearly enough to get him out. He then proceeded to go get his snatch-block from his house in North Pole, AK which was about 30 min away. After he got the block he used me as a weight and pulled the truck out in the following:
His plastic facia or whatever was the only damage from the stuck not to mention the 18000#'s of force his now bent receiver lock had somehow got?
Look at the smile on Tom's face you can see he is happy about this:
I had to include pictures of my sexy XJ just cause, even thought his TJ did all the work.
