From time it got stuck to unstuck was about 3 hrs. The first pull I did, the driveshaft was good, but the tires where pointed to the right. The angle I had to pull at was trying to drag the front of the truck sideways. It actually would pull the passenger side tire off the ground! After the shaft broke, we had to get creative. Lol

You would be very surprised how soft the ground gets here. I'll try and find the pic of when I got a bump truck stuck in my driveway. Front end sank right down and the tires dented the culvert.

 

We get some soft ground in the spring around here too. Just the way it looks in the pics it looks as though it is a vehicle that just sat for many years and sunk slowly on its own and the grass grew right up to the tires.

 

Ya, that's how it looks, it's like it happens at a accelerated rate around here. Lol. When he first stopped, the sod wasn't even ripped. Just sunk down big time.

 

Only 364 days until I can take it off. Would have appreciated if they had cut it out first and maybe put it on straight.

Shouldn't make bets I can lose

 

Isn't that transfer tape? So you can take that part off n leave just the fish

 

Hahahaha wow thanks lol.

Shows how experienced I am with bumper stickers.



Thanks and cheers,

Nate

Edit - sorry would rep but in jail

 

On the bright side...... it doesn't say 'Dudes Love Me'

 

I was going to say, that's just the transfer tape man! Delete that junk lol.

 

I was thinking about getting one of these to help my fuel millage:

 

Avg mileage 17, love my X. Berta.

 

Chinese mirrors installed!!! I think I can see China in them!!!

 

Finished the install of NEW Y-code (2wd - F350) COIL Springs into my Ex. Leveled out the ex from side-to-side and gained 3/4" of an inch on the front. Changed Oil, along with Oil and Fuel filters. Rotated the tires.
Can't wait to drive it around Monday to see how it rides with the new front springs. (The obligatory pictures will be in their own thread soon )


Rained early afternoon both on Sat and Sun which made it take longer. .

 

2015 Excursion

 

Engaged the 4wd for the first time. A few things to note:

1. 4wd is magic, you instantly get out of whatever it is you're in.

2. Being able to use the switch in the dash is super cool and like a milkshake "Brings all the boys to the yard".

3. Makes the A/C only come out through the Defrost... FML

 

Apoc, lots of info on how to track it down.. Vacuum leak in the hub(s) or in the vacuum line to them..
