Do you have a trailer hooked on? If so do NOT DROP IT!!! Try locking your differentials (if you have them) and lock your power divider and try EASING out don't spin cause you'll just dig in deeper. If that doesn't work try dropping your air bags, if your still stuck you might try getting something under the tires but I doubt that will happen. If you just spinning a little and haven't dug in yet and your light a pick up truck might be able to get you moving, if not it's wrecker time.

Thanks so much. No trailer hoked on.
I did all of the above I guess nothing left to do but call for a wrecker.
By the way I love and agree with the George Washington Quote!!

"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned."
Thomas Jefferson

Just how deep are you? Some companies will count this against you like it was an accident. I know it was an accident just not an ACCIDENT. Did you try a 4 wheel drive PU? Any farmers around with a tractor? It might be well worth tossing the $50 or 100 bucks than having this on your 'record'.
I have always like your Jefferson quote
