I pulled up to a very muddy construction site. There was a large maybe 2 1/2 ton truck witha 16' bed stuck in the mud on a slight down hill in very slick mud. I backed up within 30' got out my recovery strap. By this time quit a few of the workers were watching, probable wondering what this idiot in that little Jeep was trying to do. I put it in 4 lo and pulled him out like I was not towing anything. The truck driver was trying for about 45 minutes to get out and said that it was a 2.5 hr wait to get a tow. Gotta love the torque.

I love a good story like that one. Reminds me of the time I was buzzing past all of the Wranglers and 4x4 pickups down on the beach in Florida. They all looked pissed that a little unmodified Liberty was putting them all to shame.

They all came over in disbelief, " I didn't know Jeep Had a diesel" it was great.
