anyone else get stuck?

FWIW, i got out
i was traversing a very slight slope , attempting to that is and ANY movement sent me sliding sideways---toward the brush/trees which i really wanted to avoid. i used a "come along" and some cable to pull front/rear uphill without much luck. so i DUG the 10-15 inches of wet snow for about 25 feet, with 2 tracks down to dirt/grass, the only thing the tires did not slip on. after many hrs i got a run back into a more level area and could move around,turn around and exit another way,,,with 15-20 lb in tires. i think that helped.
the tps lite was on till i refilled to apx36 and drove around the block.
no more off road for me in snow
btw, wranglers with apx 1/4 inch tread, i think im ready to "retire"

We've had two 12"+ snows this season. I tried and couldn't get the H3 stuck in the snow. It was surprizingly very competent in the snow. I'm very happy with its performance. I saw many other vehicles loosing it...the H3 stayed true.

Ditto man, I actuallly tried to find my limit this year with the snow. Stock tires might help you find it sooner than aftermarket tires, love this truck in the snow !!

It really has nothing to do with the name on the vehicle but a great deal to do with many other factors. PSI of the footprint, composition of the snow, subsurface, tread and tire dynamics, axle locking features i.e. front/rear or none and most importantly, how cerebral the driver happens to be.
This was a cake-walk for my H3, it included running on a wet field subsurface, up and down hills and through snowdrifts over the top of the bumper after I took this picture. I never locked the differentials and still did not feel much of any wheel spin. Easy on the throttle and walked through it. Had I gotten stuck, I had the axle locks in reserve to pull me out.

That was taken after several feet of snow fell and settled over a couple of weeks. It was very wet and dense. I did exactly the same thing in my Rubicon last winter and did use the lockers to extract myself once.
