    Dually Recovery Vehicle

    I finally got to test out my new Superwinch EPi9.0...


    ...A dumbass friend-of-a-friend decided to go muddin after we had about 12 inches of rainfall last week. Initially his truck was sitting at a 45* angle, and about half underwater (Water up to the bottom of the windshield).

    After a week of the ground drying out, and trying with no luck to pull the truck out with my friend's 87 full-size Blazer - they called for the BIG GUNS!!!!

    ...THE TOYOTA!!!

    After winching out that Diesel Chevy Dually, I am 100% confident that my winch can get my Tacoma out of anything I get myself into!

    After all the damage you buddy did to his C-30 diesel, a tow job would have looked cheep to him now. The winch would have even been cheaper than the tow. Oh well, live and learn!! LOL TJ

    Re: Dually Recovery Vehicle

    Was the dually forsale before he got it stuck or after he got stuck??.....lol

    soap box on....

    Doubling back your winch rope with a block would be another option in this case for more pulling power if the first try failed....With a heavy rig like that....Using a block is saver and takes some stress off your winch....Another tip....It is always a good idea to remain in the rig while winching with you foot on the brake....i wouldn't want to stand near the line with a load like that one! Heavy blanket is also a good idea to keep the line from going to far if it fails.... .02

    soap box off...

    I would have just got the backhoe out and the chain!

    Nice pull!!!!

    I could never leave my rig in the water for a week. You could rent a back hoe the next day and tug it out.

    Old thread revival guys! Fun times though. Amazingly that diesel doesnt look that muddy, there was a LOT more mud in my '84 after a weekend in the rain at Tellico for the Spring FLing with Tube doors on. lol
