Yeah, flaw in this is it might have got out in 4wd low only, but we'll never know. When you did have the sandbag & winch doing it all it was rolling level.
Hi from Australia I just read your comment and thought you might like my set up, some Australian locations and camp cook ups Cheers and safe travels Out There Touring
The spare tire will make a much stronger anchor at zero cost. Also, you would have been a lot safer leaving out the D-ring and attaching the soft shackle directly to the anchor lines. The only thing you did was adding a thing that could have come flying... btw, I'm totally not convinced your chute would have stayed buried if you had used only the winch to get the jeep out . This scenario, you could just have driven out without putting much load on the chute... Hell, it's basically what you did, it's why it was so easy to winch the chute out afterward instead of having to dig it out... I understand the need of sponsoring, but you shouldn't sell out to just any company making a useless product.
Cool Jeep, cool recovery kit. But you weren’t stuck. Lol. Just the 4 LO locked all around is what really got you out. Go do it again and bury the Jeep all 4 wheels. Turn on 4 low but disable any lockers That would be impressive to watch.
The goal of this video was to just demonstrate how the product works. It really is a great product but i also wasn’t about to sink my jeep a few feet in to the sand just to show how a product works . If i was getting paid good money to make the video then maybe i would have taken the risk of maybe causing damage 😂
My 2004 S-10 Blazer ($1,200) with a 4in lift and 33s ($1,600) goes anywhere you Jeep boys go. I've been everywhere at the OBX and never been stuck. I pull Jeeps out all the time. I will admit that I do have 4.56 gears with lockers. ($1,600)
I worked in Arica and got my Toyota Hilux stuck in a river at a river crossing. No trees to winch from. I buried the spare tire in the sand on the river bank. It worked, but was pretty stressful.
Tools and tricks are nice but you could have done the same thing just by burying your spare tire into the sand. Then run a strap thru the holes in the rim.
Nice product review. I was wondering how well one worked. I like the light weight and easy packing aspect. You should have brought a full size shovel for that dig would have been easier on you'r back. I like keeping my stuff nice too but its a jeep if you don't get scratches or battle scars then why have one. Its like leaving your toys in the box. LOL....

in my opinion land anchors are more effective .. the more you pull it the deeper it digs no need for you yourself to dig the hole... granted the deadman is much better for storage ... but under very harsh conditions the land anchors perform better.. good review nonetheless.
Dig a big hole for a large piece of drift wood, attach your winch line to the drift wood. That's what you do when you forget to load in your Deadman Off-Road product.

@MoneyPit Jku Yukon rear axle shafts for a dana 44 are $225 each. His aev lift kit cost $1800 on the aev website. His baja design lights are only $330 for his 10" bar. Let see, what other dumb shit did you just say
I appreciate that brother 👍. I also have a hellcat making around 1,000 crank HP. Check out this video i made if you like hellcats ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8sdMhxWUevU.html
Well i guess since u turned on your front lock and your front wheel werent stuck at all that was enough to pull u over but anyway you did some sport digging
I would like to have you seen you try to get unstuck in 2wd or if need be in 4wd high and so on as needed until you got out. Definitely go to know though.
To much work. There is a product that I saw in a magazine article better than 10 years ago that is a steel wedge shape w/ a metal loop formed in. You pound one or two into the soil/sand, connect your winch to the loop or a connecting strap between two wedges & start pulling. Off the top of my head I can't remember the name of the product but it was featured in an article in 4-Wheel & Off Road Magazine. It was certainly simpler then having to dig a hole & it was easy to carry. By this time, every Off-Road shop might offer it or know about it. OR maybe there were Liability issues & it's not offered anymore. Was a slick product. I can't see digging in rocky clay w/ only bushes around.
You could do that but my spare tire also weighs over 100lbs and you run the risk of causing some damage to the wheel. Personally i prefer this method it’s faster and more convenient.
Good video!👍 great demo! Interior is pretty sick. 👍👍 be careful out there digging holes....never know if someone's already in them. Is New York right?? Lol
Spare tires can be used as well. Most people carry those with them as a stocked item. And you don't have to pay more for it. Or find special storage for it. ;) Or as I tell people often that want to go out into the sands, just drive a TRD. No need for any recovery gear. Just a small bit of common sense mixed in with knowledge of the vehicles operating systems and you are golden. ;)
yeah jeep wasn't stuck at all. Should have thrown it 4 low first to show you were actually stuck or maybe pulled yourself out in 2 wheel drive. Just saying
Tim McEneany : no need to worry... it's not really first gen... diesel engines have been available in jeeps in Europe before today and the diesel engine that will now be put in the American version is actually a fiat engine which has been around longer...
Like at the same time that is a very good idea might have to buy one for this summer even though we don’t got much sand around here besides the beach up here in upper peninsula mostly mud and some crawling
I’m familiar with that but i don’t want something like that rolling around the trunk of my Jeep. The device folds up, has no weight and doesn’t take up any room.
