We came across a GMC pickup ttuck stuck in soft sand. The four wheel drive had failed. We winched it back a little until it was moving by itself. However it became stuck again, so we gave it a second pull.
For the recoveries we do, I would look at 12,000-12,500 lb. More than that, the winch usually has the same motor but is geared with a larger ratio, that is to say, slower. Smaller than that, you find yourself using a snatch block more often.
@QatarSandMan I am in the need to replace some suspension parts, bushing, shock absorvers, coils on my Armada. Do you know someone that can do the job correctly? I am getting some disappointments lately.
@joaoduarte174 there is a video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l6XdKZZxqgo.htmlfeature=shared of a chassis replacement I had done on the Land Cruiser. The contact details of the garage that did it are in the comments. They were very good.
