Default Jeeps to the rescue!

Well tonight I performed my first recovery of a random vehical, so guy slid off the road in a ranger and me being nice asked if he needed any help, so i hooked up my towstrap to his truck and pulled him out and it gave me a good excuse to use my top lights lol, he gave me 10 bucks too i passed on the money but he insisted , iv pulled my friends out on the trails tons of times but this was my first random one. so im just wondering how many ppl have you guys pulled out befor?

I have done this a bunch of times.. However I recently found out here in Michigan it is Illegal to do this unless you have the proper permits and licenses and a bunch of other BS.. (this according to some peoples posts on my facebook) well.. it wont stop me from asking if they need help.

I'm 18, have had the Jeep for almost a year now and made my second pull 2 days after my first, haha. Had some bad snow up here in PA (Bad for the city folk, at least - but nothing compared to the other states!) and lots of people couldn't make it up the big hills or around bends too well...

Helped a Chevy Equinox get out of a ditch I ended up sliding into the next night, and got right out on my own! haha. Damn crossovers and new SUV's are so difficult to find recovery points on...

Then a huge hill out in the country got icy, and a van couldnt make it up - so I pulled him up going 25 haha. Gotta love XJ's.

I'm always pulling ATV's out of the mud pit behind Exxon. Also pulled a cop out of the mud after he slid on a fast turn once, it was raining pretty hard.
