Having 2 come-alongs and a lot of chain/tow straps is really handy if you cant afford a winch. And the key to not breaking anything is to go slowwwww as possible, but the key to not getting stuck is to not stop or spin wheels. This is where 4 lo can help. Much easier to go slow without riding on/off the slippage point of the converter. I try to avoid mud whenever possible. If you cant see the bottom = no go for me. And like said above, only use 4wd when you need it. If you have an LSD/locker and decent tires you wont even need it 95% of the time. Maybe a little less so in a pickup thou. I had a 4runner with 31s and a ton of stuff in the back and i hardly ever needed 4wd. BTW that 3.0 v6 is not nearly enough to pull that truck around. It was stupid slow and had no pulling power at all
