Being from the great northeast and seeing your predicament I suggest the same -Chain- Good for pulling and good for traction, they also sell these things ????? Um I forget what there called but you unfold them put them under your tires and they will get you out of almost any slippery situation I was stuck in snow, ice, and then frozen mud after spinning the tires forever, in a STRAIT TRUCK mind you, and someone threw these under the tires and I was free!!! Anyhow besides your being embarrassed because of being pulled out by a Rover it looks like you had a good time. Whats with the xj in the pick that stuck 2?
