    My yoda is parked at the bottom of a steep ass muddy hill on my property and I need to get it up. Just got the truck not long ago... What's the best gear to get up this? I'm going to clear all the wet leaves and sticks in the morning. I already blew one tire and can only make it half way up before I start spinning. It's really steep, huge ditches, and I probably shouldn't have gone down but I need help please.

    Edit 1: sorry I just got this truck, just moved across the states, and went to take a shower. Yeah im a noob at driving in these conditions. I have no clue how the tire blew but I was able to change it. There's a slight bend right at the bottom and it's hard as hell to get speed up it. Hills probably like 500 ft long. Slight curve to the left (thats what she said) and steep af.

    yep..
    tried lowering pressure down to like 20 psi? Might actually help by throwing a bunch of brush and sticks on the path up especially where you start spinning.

    Doesn't sound like its doable solo. You would need a winch and traction pads. Post your location and maybe someone can help otherwise just bite the bullet and call a tow truck.

    Pictures would help. Sounds like you might need to wait till the ground dries out some.

    Not hearing more from the OP here. How long is the hill? Is there a friend near by? Does anybody have a tractor that could help? Is the truck even 4wd ?
