Thanks to @MP3Mike for the idea of rim/wheel slings! I had thought about something like it before when I was going through the inventory of straps I had.

I do a significant amount of overlanding (long distance 4wd) and I can honestly say based on this and past experience with snow, mud is far worse than snow as far as recovery.

The correct response would be - only park on the driveway.

Yea - most transport use the wheel web straps anymore. So M3 is out of the bog. Couldn't wait for the other devices to show up. Asked some other tow/recovery folks on how they've done it. I've got plenty of large recovery straps but nothing small like wheel slings. Went to Wally Mart and...

Trac-Grabbers are on order and be at my door Thursday. Also purchased the hi-lift adapter also due Thursday. I will reply with a review. The car really needs a rear recovery point- simple.

Good idea - I own a pair of maxxtraxx for my land cruiser. The problem with the M3 is the tires have very little traction anyways without mud in the tiny treads and hard compound. They won’t ever grab the maxxtraxx, just spin.

Nothing that entertaining - car was parked to side of our gravel driveway and left too long after rain and now has no traction. Before it digs itself deeper than the 2 inches of mud I would like to come up with a surgical plan. I’m an avid off-roader and have lots of recovery equipment (except...

Interested in this - might you be able to elaborate? I can get a tow vehicle behind it or to side of vehicle with tow hook but don’t want to tug at such a sharp angle where the strap will touch the front.

Good options , however I have no clearance to get a jack underneath and the mud would consume the jack and platform I might be able to get underneath-if I could get anything under. One thing concerning with tugging from the suspension is strap angle to tow/recovery vehicle and whether the...

so my RWD is stuck in mud and no access to recover from front. How does one recover these from the rear, safely. I assume folks have nosed into snow and needed to be recovered but for the life of me can’t figure out how or why they didn’t put an anchor point on rear.
