you should be fine. as long as he isnt horribly stuck, you use a tow STRAP with no metal hooks, and that you have properly mounted tow hooks. also, dont hammer on it too hard if you dont need to.

A Suby stuck? My Suby is my DD and I have taken it a few places and never gotten stuck.

I heard a few times that reverse is the worst way to pull, and that it puts more strain on drivetrain. Anyone else weigh in on this?

Every time I have broken or seen a broken stub shaft it has happened while in reverse....
Just be careful doing it especially if you have low gears and you can get away with it

I don't think recovering Subys is allowed. They are intended to become fill in the deep sections.

How much longer is he going to be stuck for? Would you go help him already?
