Post your mudding mishaps
took the truck out mudding back when i first got it with my friend who has a dodge. turned out to be a real bad idea as we both got stuck and had to leave our trucks in the forest for 3 days while we got people to come and help us winch them out..
so, post all of your mudding mishaps
a few moments before the hell that occured..
oh god.
this one worried me. haha
finally out.
ever since then, ive kept the truck pristine and SHINY CLEAN. i felt so bad for getting it stuck and like that.

No pics, but . . .
Many moons ago, my brother owned a mid-70's Bronco (the square one). We lived by a (then) Southern Pacific railroad tracks and there was a convenient trail next to the tracks for about two miles. We went down the trail (it was December) and made it just fine.
We then went to a friend's house nearby who immediately wanted to wheel his Chebby C1500 Shortbed 4-by stepside on said same trail. His full-time 4WD let him down in the big puddle 1/3 of the way down so we decided to use a tow rope (three trucker's ropes braided together) to haul him out.
Brother forgot to use 4WD in his Bronco, dug in to the point he was stuck. Went to engage the hubs, found one wouldn't turn. Had to walk home (several miles), get my (long gone) '58 F250 and pull out both trucks with my Ramsey 12k PTO winch.

I wound up having to drain out a few gallons of water on the passenger side and cut out the carpet.

A lil slow, but fun as hell drifting and doing donuts in this thing, I did this a few hours after a heavy rain so it was slippery 
Me and a friend of mine got thrown around abit in the cab cause it was empty and it's got way to many leafs in the back and rides like a dumptruck at the back, front just bounces all over the place though
A full Jerry can of gas lasted half an hour.... damn 460!

i know this truck is a bull nose, but this is after a trip to yankee lake, oh for a night out. Pulled out 6 trucks that night.
Went into a pit and about tipped the truck coming out because there is like a pond to the right of the exit and my window was covered and didnt see it. Had it in the side of it and had one wheel in the air with water coming in the cab
