As a rule, I very rarely go far off-road with a vehicle unless I'm traveling with at least one other vehicle. Be that my snowmobiles or my 4x4's.

I've been in way too many situations where a tow or a ride became necessary.



With that being the case, I've even been in situations like that on-road as well. Had the drive shaft break (and the pinion get stuck) in my K5 Blazer right in the middle of the road, in winter, with no tow truck able to help for at least 2 hours. Ended up having to get a ride home, get my Envoy, and use the Envoy and chains to drag the Blazer out of the middle of the road. 4Lo came in handy that day, dragged the dead weight of a K5 blazer on 40" tires no problem.
