My wife and I were out riding in the rain doing some errands when we ran up on a young guy in a Malibu that was stuck in the mud. He had tried to turn around near the entrance of a ball field and his front end had sunk to the frame and he had spun it down. There was another young guy there with a jacked-up Ford pickup with mud grip tires that they were going to try to pull him out with a one-inch tie down strap. I handed him the shovel and told him to dig a ramp behind the front wheels while I got out the chain. Hooked him up to the tie-down beneath his bumper and told him to give it a little bit of gas when I began pulling, but not to spin the tires. He was at an angle so I couldn't get a straight pull. Now I have pulled people out in my Tahoe and an old Wagoneer I had, but this is the first one with the Liberty so I wasn't sure what to expect.

I put it in four low, took up the slack and began pulling. Amazing! I pulled the rear-end sideways across the mud and then easily pulled him free. :pepper:

I'm impressed! Liberty's Rule! :JEEPIN:

I pulled my buddys tahoe z71 out of a 42in+ snow covered parking lot when he tried to take the path I got stuck on. Pulled it out easily and made me smile in the process.
