if the back isnt stuck pull it out from the back, is there a hitch or anything on it? if not try to get something wrapped around the axle, get some friends to help, also try to get something under the tires for traction, good luck

Definitely need to invest in hooks up front and a hook or hitch in the rear for times like this, also I know its not the best way but with a decent strap or two and a come along you may be able to get yourself out alone by wrapping around a close tree.
Good luck!

You are not suppose to, but you really do not have any other option without hooks or a hitch..

I do it anyways if theres nothing else.
Just have your buddy pull and you help by putting you jeep in gear so he's not doing all the work.
Don't yank when guys start backing up and putting 10ft of slack in the rope for a head start Thats when stuff gets broken.

Alright sounds good, so I just got to take it easy when pulling it out, now if I attach the strap to my buddies push bar will that hold it enough?
