pulled out a stuck dodge from the mud
just thought i would share with everyone. my buddy and i went wheelin at a local rec area here in alaska and he got his 2500 dodge with 33's stuck in a mud hole. i had just stomped my way through the same mud hole with my 31's and i had to turn around and pull him out. he was over his hubs in the back.
his tires were a little more bald than mine but it still feels good to pull out a stuck dodge. after that he was a little timid to hit some of the mud pits that i was mashing through.
the 10.25 limited slip really paid off today. cant wait to get some 33's and a little lift.

Doing some plowing this past winter, my brother-in-law got stuck a few times, with his self proclaimed god machine (aka Chevy). He runs his mouth about his Chevy being a better truck, yet each time he had to call me or our father-in-law (we both own ford F250's), we would laugh and ask him how he liked those Fords now.
Just feels good to 1-up the haters out there! lol

there is a myriad of reasons a truck can get stuck. an idiot behind the wheel could perhaps place #1, but its real tough to say since i see guys with stock truck height and bald terrains bomb through mud holes goin 15-20 mph (and i think "IDIOT") and act like their stock trucks are modern marvels of four wheel drive-excellence. meanwhile, the wise driver (who actually has a venerable machine) picks a line, creeps through it, and occasionally gets stuck (but can rock/chunk his way out 75-80% of the time). AND, i see plenty of idiots who actually have venerable machines stuck in places that i think "wtf did he think would happen"?
most people are idiots, dodge and ford owners alike. just dont see how its that gratifying to pull different "brands" out (just as its idiotic for one owner to believe he has a superior beaster vs another just because of the emblem on the grill),
i will say, however, there arent too many trucks ever made (stock for stock) that are as capable as these trucks. and my posi worked decently until the day i welded it up too.
good job helpin a man out nonetheless.

Where is this mysterious "rec area?" I live in Palmer, wheeling for stock trucks is almost non-existent.

The joy comes from joshin up the guys who constantly talk about how superior their trucks are. I'm the only guy in my off-roading group who drives ford. I get a lot of crap rock crawling and mud-racing in a huge big block manual 3/4 ton in a group of small block automatic short-bed bowties and blazers. I gotta take advantage of every opportunity to make up the difference. And I usually get to.

haha dont worry, im bustin bubbles all over the place in person too ;]. . .i think the "blind brand loyalty" is just a joke. there are "blind" brand loyalists with any grill emblem, and its just ignorance. each brand has their benefits for each generation of truck. . .but our ford trucks are, without a doubt, the best all-around beasters of their era. underpowered yes. unreliable, abso-f'in-lutely not.
i didnt wanna ruin anyones fun, but i am subject to the same nonsense from the "others" that you guys are. but, all i gotta do is point to the endless array of battle wounds on my truck and say "wheres yours". . .if its beasted, it shows. if its not, its evident.

as a ford guy its fun to bust the b@lls of a guy who loves a dodge, plain and simple. nothing to do with "ignorant blind brand loyalty". i just like fords better because ive had better luck with them over the years. jeez. 
i like the chicago cubs and yamaha motorcycles too.
and AK Outlaw this mysterious rec area is just jims creek. i know its not the greatest off road place but its one of only 2 places i know of to go around here. i said rec area cuz the fte guys in the lower 48 would not know what i was talking about if i said jims creek. you ever go there?

Brand loyalty people are morons-there is a reason I will NEVER EVER EVER own a dodge, even a cummins. The entire truck is absolute garbage and has been for eons, when I used to tow and repair I repaired and towed more dodges than anything.
Course thats just my opinion lol.
