threw a battery in her and fired her up tonight, shes in snow up to the rocker panels and she wouldnt get out of it because of a broken front u joint which limits me to only 2wd, and the bald 31s dont help, and theres nothing in front of me to winch on to, but my brother gets home tomorrow so im gonna get a tow out from him and then ill probably put her in the garage and rip out the ttb.

i would of towed her out with my 79 f150 but she was out of gas at the time

nope the cable was perfect even because almost the full roll was out.. but my 79 was bottomed out in a bog hole and she was shut off and in neutral so i was just pulling the dead weight.. oh well
