Re: Front bumper with no winch

I'm usually with two or three trucks and we pull each other out. If you are by yourself and get stuck, you usually don't have to wait more than an hour or two before someone comes down the beach to help. Most people (strangers) are helpful in getting others out of deep sand - a couple of beers is usually appreciated as payment. If I don't want to wait around, 5-10 five gallon buckets of water thrown on the sand usually will do wonders.

There is not anything to hook the winch to on the beach unless it is another truck. Am I missing something?

WHile the pullpall FJammin mentioned is ideal, it is also expensive and large to store.
If you had a winch, and a shovel and were really stuck, you could do this: dig about a 4ft deep hole, attach the cable's to a tire iron and thread cable through the center of the spare with the tire iron on the other side. Bury the spare and cover with the sand. Now you have an anchor. Most times when you are stuck in sand you don't need that much of a pull to get out. If the spare starts to pull up, just bury it deeper.
