stuck story

["Dan Nees" <cookiedan@domain.elided>]

   I have a story for you guys. Last night I was sitting down after work 
relaxing when these two guys came in the resturant. They were playing 
behind the resturant in a mud puddle. The guy had a Br@#co with 33" 
tires. The water was coming in the truck under the doors. They tried to 
pull the bronco out with a Ch@#y 2x4 with dually wheels. They then got 
that stuck. So I offered to pull them out with my Scout. I don't have a 
set of hubs on the 71 yet so I ran home and got the 79. I had to drag 
the chevy out side ways because of the location and lay out of the spot. 
The Scout pulled the chevy out with no problem. When I got to the bronco 
I had a serious problem. There was no angle of attack on the bronco. to 
pull him out the back would require driving into the puddle. In the 
dark, not knowing what's in the puddle I wasn't going to do that, so, I 
tryed to pull him out at a side ways angle. Of course he had shut the 
engine down so he had no way to help in the recovery. I never did get 
the bronco out, I left him there to be recovered in the morning. The 
unfortunant think is I think the engine is toast. He couldn't get the 
truck restarted in the puddle with the exauhst under water. and when it 
would run a little he was throwing water all over the place under the 
hood.
   I kinda wished I could have gotten the bronco out for bragging 
rights, but, alas, it wasn't ment to be.
   So, I said all that to say this, where are the best mounting points 
for tow hooks front, back, and side? I am ashamed to admit I had the tow 
strap wrapped around the rear spring shackles. I know, I know, I know. 
Sorry, I won't do it again.
