You don't have a two point and you drive off-road...
You really got some problem with your jeep man...
Hope you could pull it out anyway...

I love that video!!! The person isn't the brightest bulb on the tree. You can use the axle to pull from, just don't pull it at an angle like the guy in the vid.

I think that Jeep video is going down in internet history like the douche in the Saturn/Maxima and the exploding NOS bottle.

find a tow truck guy and see if he will lend you his t-hook/cluster.

then in the frame rail, there is a slanted slot for the hook to fit into.
use a shackle to hook it up to a STRAP and pull it out.

just be sure to bring a shovel cause now that the jeep has been sitting, the mud will have settled around everything, making it that much harder to move.

use the hitch first, if you have one.

at this point, DON'T pull from the axle, unless you want to upgrade.

good luck

There are definitely good spots on the uni-body. Back in the day I had to use some when I didn't have good pull points up front. The holes may stretch but they held up. After that I bought a front receiver.

Don't do the axle for sure. Shovel and some boards couldn't hurt either.

Been there before, Good luck!

... best suggestion. I'd love to see how you mount a hitch to a Jeep stuck in a mud bog. Should be an education for all of us.
