Got her good and stuck!

Yesterday afternoon was the first time I really got her stuck. Every other time I'm been able to shovel or rock her out. Not this time. Used Dad's tractor and tow strap (Broke it 6 times and gave up). No dice. Got 60 feet of chain to get the tractor on better footing.... still no go. Had to call AAA and the local driver (Who I've know for years) said he wouldn't take his truck off road. He'd have never made it out anyway. He did have a smaller 4x4 truck that he sent out a couple hours later. That finally got it out, but not without a little help. Right down on the frame in a bog. Maybe not the smartest thing I've done, but kinda cool none the less. She's home and all cleaned up now.

Glad to hear you got it out. Been stuck plenty of times out I'm BFE with no help. That's no fun at all

I had mine stuck like that one time. On the lake bed. A buddy drove it down there and it fell thru. Got a HUGE 4wd tractor stuck trying to get to it. Didn't even hook the tractor up before it got stuck. It took a back hoe to get us out. He had to walk across using the bucket. Then hook a chain to the bucket and pull little by little.

One of my cousins took a few. I'll have to see if he can send them along. I didn't have my camera at the time. The trail had been nice and solid (sorta) until then.

this pic is with 36's on it. when it sunk in that swamp it was wearing 40's and sat about 6 inches higher. it is kind of hard to figure height, but i am 6 ft and the top of the bed in this pic is chin level, with the top of the light bar at 10ft 7 inches.
