What size Pull Pall do you have? I have been considering buying a 14000 lb Pull Pall, but do not believe it would hold well enough to free a H2 stuck in sand.

Phil I have a question.
Could u have used the pull pall and the Explorer (or the Suburban) for an anchor point?
Pull the anchor in and hook to it and put the other vehicle behind it w/ a short strap to the tie in point on anchor.
But u would still need the rear mount to pull it out backward.
BTW when I can get all the stuff together I will get a photo of a REAL H2 recovery team (the Cat D-4D w/60k winch&D-6C, Deere 650G&710B hoe)if we can't pull it out we can lift it w/ the hoe.
An H2 stuck is nothing like getting the D-6 stuck or the 710B.

Those jeeper idiots sure shut up fast, didn't they? I forgot about them... Nice pics Tacos. Just proves my point that it is 90% the driver and 10% the vehicle. I personally am not the best offroad driver, but I'm getting better with practice. I am a track driver by nature (used to race my old M5 before it was wrecked), so this whole offroad thing is new to me. But it sure is fun though.

Exactley! Traction is the key. I have stuck open axle 4x4's in similar easy looking spots that I didn't consider obstacles until I couldn't move the vehicle and had to grab a shovel.

A locker is a definate advantage in this situation.

I would like to point out that most jeepers start with 22 thousand dollar jeeps that are really capable and put another 10 gs in them, making them great trail rigs. A lot of H2 guys take 40 plus closed in Suvs and go wheeling with little aftermarket support, who will pull who out? its a matter of time till used h2s are going be going for 17 gs and then you will see a lot of mods on them. Just sit back and wait for the inevitable. It is stupid to think your rig is better because of a Mark, Driver experiance is a huge factor. Remember Jeppers have been jeeping for 60 plus years, a lot of those guys could out wheel both marks in a geo traker.
