I also pulled out a dozen new trucks out of mud, snow and even two trucks sunk in a creek. lol I would get calls at 4 in the morning, Hey Mazz can you bring the Beast out the woods I'm stuck in a ditch. I always keep tow chains and tow straps in it. I miss that truck and so do all my bonehead friends that need to get towed. I sold it because the body was shot but still ran great. Here is last I seen it as was towed away. Now I see a company re-makes these beauties at a hefty price. http://www.icon4x4.com/overview/fj/models
