That's not how it looks to me

I see it as the YJ trying to pull your bug eyed(read: scared

) CJ into the mud, but it doesn't seem to want to play.

My vision could be off a little though, but that's what I see

 

hahahha amen to that

 

Hehehehe! It looks like even 3 of YJs couldn't pull it in...

 

Im with the YJ guys. Looks like the little red jeep couldn't convince the yellow one to play??

But seriously, looks like a good rescue. I bet your friend wishes he had a Hi-lift. That would have had him out of there in no time. Nothing like helping out a fellow Jeeper.

 

You YJ boys got it ALL wrong... Can't you see that satisfied grin on the front of that CJ? It already KNOWS how embarrassed that little YJ with the donut tires will be...

 

Hmmm....
Grin, you say? It looks more like

or

to me... See it? Look at those sad round eyes...
Then again, those who dare go in FIRST... others stay BACK...

 

They're just jealous deep down inside and wish they had the right kind of headlights (round). Jeep even realized the mistake and went back to right kind.

Amen.

 

It looks like that winch cable was wrapped around the trailer ball. I hope that wasn't the case.

 

.......of course, you were a gentleman about it and didn't drive through the hole in 2wd after getting him out did you?

 

I think the CJ was just smart!

Test the waters with something inferior first. Better safe than sorry!

 

Another safety note: Need something on the line like a blanket or coat to catch a broken line.

I have a TJ and a CJ, they seem happy togther. Besides, what goes a "round" comes a "round". ...or "don't be square"!

 

The hook on the winch cable was hooked on the base of the ball. I realize that's not the best way to do it, but is it really that bad? Isn't the ball rated to pull something much heavier than a Jeep?
This actually only the second time I've used the winch (installed it last month) so if I'm doing it wrong, please educate me.

I did have a blanket on the middle of the cable, it's just not visible in those pics.

 

Most balls are max out at 7000lbs unless you have those really expensive ones. The winch will put way more strain on it.

I'm not sure of the dynamics, but I've seen what can happen when they let go. I've never seen a winch break one, but I have seen what a tow strap will do to a ball -- launched into orbit!

Fritz

Oh, there is something about the orientation of the hook. I think that you are supposed to put the hook open side up so that if it breaks, it fly down instead of up.

 

In the immortal words of Huey Lewis...
"It's hip to be SQUARE!"

 

Now Reverend, I've NEVER seen a picture of Huey in ANY Jeep, so I just can't in good faith believe he is the final authority on ugly headlights!

 

Well, they don't call em Wronglers for nothing!
Hey, there's something wrong with the headlights on that jeep!

 

Check It Out!!!!! Something I whipped up real quick

 

I bet he doesn't have a Jeep of any kind!

 

not bad, not bad at all!

At least he's got on the RIGHT Jeep T-shirt!

I'd be more worried about the pin that holds the reciever in the bumper than the ball breaking. You know what they say, "A chain is only as strong as it's weekest link"
