how do you pull a 7600 pound vehicle out with one that can barely tow 5000 without tearing up the drivetrain?

[ididntdoit5150]

it looks to me like the humvee has a winch and just used the FJ as an anchor point

its not like he's dragging it. it was a heavy vehicle partially under its own power.

I can't believe that you drove your FJ into that snow...it's deep! Of course, if you have a recovery vehicle right there, I suppose it would be fun. BTW, that is the best humvee configuration out there. I really like the standard cab long-bed look...very cool.

Yep.....no substitute for ground clearance when it comes to snow that deep.

All the skeptics here, gosh, this is the season to believe in............... uh, magic, Santa and FJs on steroids

That is sweet!

the FJ was just anchor point for the winch.
it didn't move an inch during the recovery.
after i pulled the FJ out, i took a little run and easily made it through!
my wife thinks i'm an idiot.
