....I think a winch is in order.

Absolutely. Don't go off road without one. WARN is your friend! :-)

(We used to have an old ute type Land Cruiser for deer camp. Biggest Warn winch we could find on the front bumper. We actually used it once or twice (bottomed out just like you, got it wedged against a sapling another time), but just having it is sort of medicine against getting stuck in the first place. Sold the LC when we started having kids --- the youngest is just about old enough to hunt now . . . )

Yes....I studied them last night. I think a 9000lb WARN is the ticket.

Poor old 8 year old LR....she'd never gotten stuck before....and thru a lot of stuff that even at times 4 wheelers were afraid to go thru. I felt bad for the old girl....it was my damned fault.

I like the old Land Cruisers....boy howdy they have held their value well.

Thanks and Regards.
