Mine has been stuck twice. High centered lengthwise both times. Damn rednecks with their 40"+ tires rutting all the trails out. A friend of mine got his Rubicon with 33's stuck on a snow mound in a parking lot like someone else said happened to them. Instead of getting a ricer to pull him off, he rang it back and forth until, I think, the snow melted under it enough that he could get it off the mound.

Yep, getting hung up in some ruts is a sissy stuck. It's amazing what a XJ will do until you find some ruts too deep for 31's. I think if it had a locker in the back it woul've got out the second time. First time it had no tires touching the ground. Second time it was over on one side so it had both tires on one side touching the bottom and the other two in the air.

Speaking of which ^^
I was out in freedgrs' neck of the woods, and did this lil' diddy. (old XJ)

Snapped the rear u-joint here. Then on the drive home, blew out a tire, lost a shock, and cracked the t-case.
