Thanks Jeff, Steve and Bill.
Which forward gear, would you use? L fwd?

Also, an aside to Bill. Take this as a
compliment. I have been reading your comments on this group for about six
months, and always curious to see what you say. Sometimes its nasty,
sometimes amusing, but always in the end a wealth of information.(usually
with links to pictures, and diagrams) Keep up the good work.....


Much regards Jerry

I disagree with you. Not completely, but alot.

First, You and I might know where to attach a strap, but if we get stuck it
is because we were playing at a time when we should have been paying
attention. The vast majority of people that get stuck were paying close
attention and they still got stuck; they are clueless of where to attach a
strap. Heck, I have seen Jeepers attach a strap to a body mount bolt, then
scratch their head wondering why there is a new hole in the tub, so giving
the benefit of the doubt because a Jeep is involved is dangerous. I think a
novice should NEVER be given the responsibility to attach a strap or cable.
And if you are not able to attach a strap where it will do no damage, then
you should leave the vehicle buried in the snow.

Second, the strap should be pulled up tight before the pulling begins.
Driving off with a slack strap, and having it draw tight and yank all at
once is the second or third option, it is NEVER THE FIRST attempt.

Whichever one it takes. Usually, 4HI and 1st is a good choice, but be ready
to go into 4LO.
