How burried are your rear ends? I mean i air down my outside duals when playing in the sand, should make some differance in the rear.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I can never have too much advice! I'll buy some ratchet straps and 4x4's as well. Sounds like a very good idea. At first I didn't understand exactly how to hook them up but the picture made it clear.ditto on the air down.
then on the wheels stuck in the mud, chain/ratchet strap some chunks of 4x4 on the tread, tied thru the spokes of the tires.
Other option is landing mat strips, or expanded metal, but both will require digging.
Maybe some 1 foot wide 3/4" plywood strips with 4x4 cleats screwed to the surface.
Where is all these posts come from - sorry for the duplicate advice.
It must be right, if so many are posting it.
Hey, bratpackdad has my back! =P As he guessed, the rears aren't very bad. Luckily I was going slow enough that the fronts dug in and I didn't have a chance to sink the whole truck. I have nothing but time, so I plan on doing a lot of digging (including behind the differential) - one of my buddies is going to help me dig. The ground is too soft for a jack at the front, but luckily there is dry ground just 5 feet from the back of the truck, and plenty of room for a vehicle to drive forward and pull me backward, as we tried today.One of the issues you have is that the front differential (and maybe the rears) is mudbound also....that is going to create a lot of resistance no matter how you decide to get it out.
The ground looks to be too soft to jack it up and put wood or something else under the wheels.....you are prob going to have to pull it from the rear with something strong enough to overcome all that resistance (without getting that vehicle stuck too).
You have a hard row to hoe.
