Default Pulled a Mini-Van off the beach last night!!!

I pulled a BURIED minivan off the beach last night...

2, yes 2 Jeep Cherokees could not budge it their tires were spinning all over the place..

I literally did not feel the van behind me as I dragged it off the beach for the knuckle head family that thought it was "okay" to try to drive on the beach with a van...

Typically I do not pull off stuckpeople if they are out there without a pass or screwing around, but this was indeed a family in distress... plus as always I gave them the disclaimer...

"I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT YOUR VEHICLE MAY INCUR!"

Anyway - sorry no pics - was kind of embarrassing for them, did not want to be a tool.

Just a quick blurb on the pulling power of the H2...

That's the right attitude. I've offered help before to people and they refuse - probably because they think their misfortune will be publicized on the net. It is nice to see that the Cherokees couldn't do it! [sm=lol.gif]

Besides your good deed, I'm sure you gave the minivan owner's a good story to tell all their friends and family. I can hear them now, "We were so stuck, that a HUMMER had to pull us out! The Jeeps wouldn't even budge!"

Nice, ive done the same thing for a guy that backed his Ram in a ditch at a bar on side the road. A old toyota was trying to pull him out with a chain and was only digging holes in the ground. I hooked my strap up and pulled him out as if it was nothing, at first i thought the strap came off but i looked back and he was out. He asked me if he owed me anything and i told him na some ******* charged me once and i would never do that.

The only thing I would have accepted is a cup of coffee or beer - or a cup of beer or beer....

Pulled a dodge intrepid off the beach too!

I left a SAAB alone out there before... the owner was an a-hole and being an idiot..so...nahhhh

The issue is... people see a Hummer on the beach stuck, they immediatley become happy about it and I guarantee pics would be taken...
