Well when it comes to towing, I think rottidog has pulled a lot.
Well when it comes to pulling people out, I know Gio has pulled several trucks a lot bigger than ours.
A lot of people have gone through some impressive mud pits on here.

I have the 4 door 4x4 with the G80 in it and have gone through some stuff. Here is a vid of mine. Keep in mind, I'm muddin' in street tires.

Hey thanks... yeah I have, in the winter I regularily pull the 10,000lb forklift out of snow banks & ruts, ice etc. Then last winter there was the Freightliner with the 53' flat deck stuck in the approach with the trailer tires in a snow bank across the street. If that wasn't bad enough he had a blown tire on the trailer & frozen brake pot locking up 1 side of an axle.
I should have had the work camera set to video instead of pics... seeing the blazer backing up & launching forward only to stop DEAD a couple times & trying harder each time & then to see a freightliner being pulled into the video would have been awsome! lol
He was spinning forward as I was but it wasn't easy. The look on his face after I laughed at him when he asked me to get the forklift was funny, but not as good as when I said I'd use my truck & pointed at the blazer.
WTF THAT?!
