    In 1967 Me a friend&2 girls were in my 1959 Pontiac.....I went to turn around it was the hardest rain I had ever seen,I could feel the car sink...No phones near,Next morn a man in a nearly new Tempest gave us a pull out...a very nice&kind man,I'm still grateful😊,Not many as that nice anymore😑.

    They'll work in deep mud, to a point--if you're stuck on level ground... but for really muddy, slick ground, trying to get up a hill we couldn't get them to work. The truck was an older F250, and we only succeeded in pounding the truck so hard the exhaust broke loose at the catalytic converter. We tried the truck claws twice on wet pasture land, and in neither case were they effective at moving the truck forward; they just dug very deep holes in that terrain.

    Looks like you would want to fit the extensions first up if you think you might need them. Once the claw is full of material it may not be so easy.
    I can see these ripping at parts of the bodywork. Offroaders tend to fit bigger tyres so there isnt much space in the guards.

    Truck claws do not work in soupy mud; found this out 11/13/18.. Duramax 2500 was on the frame in 4x4 mode completely stuck unlike in the video. The device was installed with wood in place like video and the strap broke when the device grabbed the wood. In the video the second truck surly wasn't in 4x4 in the beginning. After the claws were installed the truck was then put in 4X4 so obvious... Frame the entire truck in 4x4 and then post a vid of how good they work...
