Ronie got a short movie of 3 of us rescuing a Toyota who was stuck BAD! Tow truck could not get an angle so stepped aside while we daisychained ourselves together.

Any reason you didn't pull him down hill where you had gravity working on your side? What kind of Toyota was that? Looked like a Nissan to me?

Actually it was a Nissan. And he was in a hole so it was all uphill in all directions. The least of the uphill pulls was a out 30* to the driver's left which is why were at a bit of an angle coming out.
