TOGA member pulls something out of the snow

I don't drive an FJ, but guess what my 4Runner pulled out of the 12" of snow we got yesterday?

A UPS truck!!! The big brown truck got rescued by my 3rd gen 4Runner. He was blocking the street to my kids daycare, so of course the mighty 4Runner was able to get around and hook him up. The driver said "you can't pull me out with that". I said "maybe not, but lets give it a try" Soon there was a Sheriff watching in almost as much amazement as the UPS guy. Once I got him un-stuck and onto the road he kept spinning his wheels and going nowhere. Back to the strap and I hauled his ass about an 1/8th of a mile out to the main road. He wanted my phone number to give his supervisor, and the sheriff was in shock. He was stuck there for an hour and a half and said the tow-truck was at least 2 hours out. BAD A$$ folks, all I can say is BAD A$$.

Kinda stuck there buddy?


4Runner to the rescue
