Now put boards all the way round, make them out of metal and you'll have a tank.

I did this in the oil patch a couple times when the crew truck got stuck. My old consultant (like 80 years old) showed me. Smart guy.

Adding on to yours, Military vehicles carry beams that they use for this exact purpose. So while it's crude it's quite functional.
FireflyActual
Ever notice how Russian tanks always carry a log? They use it for the same purpose, only with tracks.
KaptenN
Why does clicking comment pictures no longer enlarge them? It just opens up/closes the replies.
Styxwash
So that's not a spare barrel for the tank turret?! The more you know!!
nsjames
Carrying a log actually came with the advent of the tank. The british used them to cross the trenches.
regregex
Fascinating.
mercemay
Ugh. I was stuck in a ditch waiting on tow for 4 hours yesterday. I tried branches but they were too dryrotted. I'm putting 2x4s in van now.
marsgoose
They work better if you put them under your wheels to get some traction, and deflate your tires.
marsgoose
My advice is get an inflator and some sand ladders, that will get you out most of the time.
mercemay
Yea i didn't have my usual winter ditch gear packed yet. Grew up on a mountain in the NE so I'm no stranger to getting stuck.

Wouldn't work, tire would get bored and the board would get tired.

Putting a plank of wood on a tire won't make your truck grown a transfer case and drive all the wheels
justthebearnecessities
thats true, it just means there is no movement while the wheel spins the timber back round to the start. will still work but slower.
WhiteKnight124
Oh I didnt say it wasn't useful, the title just suggested that this is 4 wheel drive somehow
justthebearnecessities
i think its a pun on 2x4 being a timber size.
WhiteKnight124
Hahaha if that's true, way over my head
WhatTheHellIsGoingOnBob
I'm here to apply for the job of comment proof reader!
justthebearnecessities
actually, rewatching, i don't think they are in 4wd, theres a point where the wheel slips and the vehicle doesn't move
DarthFirebolt
it doesn't matter how many wheels you send power to if they've all got worn out shitty all-seasons on them.
justthebearnecessities
sure, horses for courses.

I pulled onto grass last week, after rain. Got stuck, waited for earth to dry and got sand. Next time, THIS.
Elminster001
Have a truck still stuck in the yard after a week of rain and no sun to dry it out
nanyatenyaa
Why are you people parking in places like this? Cars don't belong in yards.
prophet002
lol "onto grass"

Doesn't work if you are stuck, I tried, Deflate your tires and put the plank under your wheels, use it to get some grip.
ax2usn
Use your floor mats for traction...
marsgoose
Don't, only thing you will do is get muddy floormats. IF you can get out with floor mats you are not stuck.
marsgoose
Deflate tires to maybe 5-10psi, put rocks and planks under them to get some traction.
ax2usn
Mine have rubber nubs that actually work well and have pulled me out, so... yes but it depends on mat and situation.
OhThrowMeAway
Or you could not park there.
nobodiesbusiness
But how else am I going to piss off my neighbor if I’m not drunk parking on his lawn?
inquisitivefluff
Would've been funny, But the idea that you think drunk driving is funny.. nah
DarthPotatus
It's a joke my dude. I dont think he actually believes drunk driving is a good thing.
nobodiesbusiness
Yeah I don’t. But a lot of people can’t get a joke now days cuz they are easily offended
Batmanfondlesme
There are other ways. Comment on his hair every time you see him. Then one day just stop.

Like your head....sadly, or probably made improvements. You're family will let you out on the porch now. Must be thrilling.
h0tdoglatte
luckily, no. stopped before that happened. did find out that a section of chain link fence works quite well for getting unstuck tho.
BurntToast127
I think it would work better with more than one board
pajasa
What? Like a tank track?!
BurntToast127
Yes! Well really I mean like maybe 3 or 4 spaced slightly apart? You have 365° and like 300° is tire slip.

Yep, that is carried for exactly the same purpose -- selfextraction from deep dirt.
pareidoliaperson
Tho not a smart idea to stand so close to the wheel. That plank might hit you in the face and laugh!
JoeSchmew
It's similar to a technique that Russian tankers use. They keep a log with the tank, and if need be, tie it to the treads in bad terrain.
Batham1
you may not be smart?

So, a shorter 2x4?
LickCrotchSandwich
Decent reviews. I can see myself needing these ice fishing like the reviewers did
sting10000001
I can just see people doing this with the 2x4 way to far into the truck and going "I wonder what happened to my wheel well"
curlysoup3129
I have no idea what’s the purpose ... I came to the comments to u fees tans I’m still lost ... I mean my friend. Here is lost .... help her

nateglen350
You be stuck in the mud, huh?
D33RLORD
It's semi dangerous to you and the vehicle, even if done correctly. I would try floor mats first.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
I mean it could help with my lawn mower. There is a dip in our yard that gets water and takes 10x as long,to dry after rain.
thedeg
Maybe try shovel out some sand to try to get it to drain better
chardlz
I tried floor mats once and it just ended up flinging my floor mat 20 feet away from my car
