Default Should of used a strap...
Well I tried to help out some kids with there 4 wheeler yesterday. I wasn't planning on going out wheelin but we had a meet and greet in MD and just went to check out a spot. I didn't have my tow strap and came across some kids trying to pull out the stuck 4 wheeler. I thought I could just nudge the front of the wheeler out with my Jeep...bad idea. The little mud hole wasn't that little for my 35's and I got stuck. We had to borrow a strap to get me out and un wedge the wheeler from my bumper...my tag is toast now. It was still a good time and next time I will have my strap for sure.

how did you not see that coming.

This is something most of us (including me) have to learn first hand, "check how deep a hole is before putting your tires in"

nice of you to help out the kids though

Why did you pull your rig from the front? I assume there was no room behind you? Seems like it would have been better to pull you from your back.

4 wheeler = light weight; sinks 2 feet in mud.
JK Jeep = heavy weight; sinks 4 feet in mud.

but with that said, I take my hat off to ya for sharing your photos.
