Water Been There Done That...

[TowZone]

This is something I just do not do anymore. Can't even tell you how long ago I stopped putting my truck in this type of situation. Let the water go down or up, it is not worth doing anymore.

"Too Many Only Find Out Later" unless modified these trucks are not designed to go into high water.

Unimogs have air pressurized axles for deep water. I'm guessing a lot of military vehicles do that as well

Many of my recoveries are in water ,never once have we allowed a truck to go into water.Most times you cant see under surface.Waders are standard equipment in our toolbox.

In this particular situation, enough cable could be extended to winch from the standing water.  I think that vehicle had a center mounted recovery loop for attachment?

 

Instead of going to him, winch him to you?
