Safest bet would be around each of the lower control arms, closest to the subframe. Straps would probably be best, but chains if that's all you have. Good luck getting it out.

Yeah I think that's your only option from the front. Hope it doesn't squish up ur bumper

Might want to remove that front bumper, as it's going to get damaged in someway from pulling on the front! Hope there isn't water in the ditch!

What! I figured if it was anything like the 1g they would have put some on the front. But like everyone else said lower control arms and as tight to the frame as possible and don't goose it out more chances of ruining the arms or the frame

DO NOT FLAT TOW AN AWD...FLATBED ONLY...

kinda hard to flatbed a car out of a ditch! but to get it out go slow and as stated above find something sturdy like the lca, don't yank it just go slow and steady and use straps if possible as chains could cause damage or pinching the lca.

You can flat tow a AWD car as long as all the wheels are moving at the same rate at the same time. With the front or rear in the air you will burn that diff.

Btw I would always hook up to the crossmember under the middle of the engine bay. Good Luck!!!

I still would not do it..But Thats just me.

any updates on how this went?

There are small holes that can be used as tow hooks below the car right behind where the side skirt housing are. That's how I've gotten mine onto a flatbed.

Couldnt you disconect the drive shaft? aND just use some wires to support the shaft?

Oh I know his 7 bolt likely crank walked the car into a ditch while he wasn't looking, it happens all the time .

No seriously op, take the front bumper off like stated earlier, and get it out slowly, using the two straps connected to each of the lca's, and coming out to the one line attached to your friends truck, and don't pull the car anymore then you need to to get it out of the ditch, hopefully you will be able to drive the gsx home on it's own power, and at the least inspect everything suspension wise and mechanically before going on your way... why? because you never know.

Haha my mom had got stuck last winter when i got my awd up and running i asked if she wanted pulled out she said if my suv cant get through this no way that little thing will (she was on a plowed area but slid into a bank) so i opened the barn and came driving through snow up to my hood and pulled her out she was so mad

Being a snow plow is so much fun!!My FMIC has taken a nice beating from it though! Damn random rocks and ice in the snow

I recently had to put my AWD 2g onto a flatbed and it was a PITA since there was now evident front tow hooks :/ didn't have a swap so we were able to manage by hooking it up on the rear subframe an as little jerking as possible.

Slap some mud and snows on that puppy and drive it out, . Seriously, good luck!
