Steel rod/rebar? I'm looking for some steel rods to be used in self extraction. I'm thinking 3 rods 30-36" long to make a tripod anchor to pull against...
Where do I find such rod materials Home depot? Will they cut them to my length specs?

Building a capable off roader is easy, building a street legal one that you can wheel and then drive daily is the challenge...

Home Depot, Lowes ect should all carry it and they can cut it for you.
You know you can just bury your spare tire if if comes to that point though.

Lance - do you have a sketch or anything of your idea? Rebar, by design, bends extremely easily and is in no way capable of withstanding the forces involved in even a light vehicular extraction... I'm not saying it can't be configured to do so, but at the same time I can't help but think there must be a better option.
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...
Don't go places when you're by yourself that you'll get stuck!

Mostly because I want someone else to buy one first so I can see how well they work.
They work super! At least from our experience in the snow. About a 70% chance of success in the white stuff, which is pretty good considering the alternative.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

I think a Pull Pal folds up the size of a Hi-Lift. I'd have one, but Lurch and Danny are already giving me too much grief for the gear I carry.
