Well I went driving around on my dad's land. Was going well tell I got the valley. snow every where was about 3-5in tell I got in the valley. It was about 12-14in. Any how took about 45 min to get out not bad at all. Me being a idiot did not bring a shovel. The running boards did not help at all but that's not what held me up. It just got to much snow under it. Why I was stuck I was thing I don't think the tires are getting much of a bite. So I put it in High 4X4. I could not believe it I could not get the tires to move!! The snow was very hard about 8in then broke threw and then the ground was just mud.

For hi-lift jack, here is their web page . I suppose it's pretty easy to find at a 4x4 store, generally sized 48" or 60". Also the shovel is available at the store, generally it is called campain shovel or foldable shovel...
