[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1168466, member: 15983"] My batteries were not in good shape as they'd not fully recharged, plus we could find the bottom of the hook to get free up front. We tried using the rear winch to pull me out backward but all that did was yank snowgoon's toyota towards the hole. We finally got the hook free and I tried pulling out. Again, the batteries went and I let it go a little too long causing the engine to stall and I didn't have enough juice to restart. By this time my fan was hitting the water as was the serp belt so it was slipping on the alternator. The starter was also completely submerged. We finally hooked up two 8k winches to my front bumper with snatch block to double the pull, did some fancy anchoring including help from another group to anchor the guys that were pulling. I was sure that my bumper was going to get ripped off. They got it up high enough out of the hole that with a jump I was able to get restarted and assist with driving out. Now, it was time to go home... we thought. [/QUOTE]
