The worst stuck was off the Clackamas river, is gooey, deep river mud/silt. Buried past the frame. Neither trucks nor a tractor were able to pull it out...finally got it out using a skidder.

Worst stuck was my 86' F-250. It was out by a pond and there was overflow, this pond is common for that, anyway I took a shot a at a spot where somebody tried before, got half way and I sunk, the really bad part was that the truck kept sinking after I stopped, so bad it burried both third members and destroyed the Dana 50. took an F-550 to yank me out, had my truck on three wheels to do it too.

We have little strip stores down the street from my house, and they have concrete dividers between the parking lots. Nasty looking things. Anyways, I noticed I had parked in the wrong parking lot, wanting to go to the store one lot over (I moved only becuase people are just itchen to call a tow truck on you). So I figure I can just jump the curb there to the next lot. I was wrong. Got the front over it, then the rear came up to it, and my tire (open diff) would just spin everytime it got half way up I had to back up and put a peice of 2x4 down for a little ramp to get over it. I wish I would have taken a picture of it, that was a mess

In Idaho, don't remember the lake but was driving along the shore line and it gave way. Drivers side was completely under water but the passanger side was dry, had to be close to a 45deg angle. Nobody in the area was able to hook up and pull it out and if it slip much father i could be in 100 feet of water. Ended up calling a tow truck and he pulled it up the side of the hill allmost 500ft. That was where the road was. That was a $500 dolloar trip. Funny things was is the tow truck driver said they do that atleast once a week in the summer time.

Buddy of mine decided he wanted to go down a creek bed outside of Pella in early spring, when some parts of the ground were still frozen. Needless to say, he go stuck. Being the nice guy I was at the time, I pulled in from the front where it apprear to be much more solid for traction. ONce the strap went tight, the lovely ground under me decided to give way to some of the worst slop I've ever been in. Turn out, I was in a semi-frozen marsh. Try to get out only made things worse. By the time the local wrecker showed up I had buried it to the frame. Wrecker hooks on with the winch (1/2" cable) takes out the slack and brings the front end off the ground and snaps the cable. Result: One ticked off wrecker owner who called in the sheriff. They call in a semi-truck wrecker with a 3/4" cable to get the job done. My buddy's truck wasnt too hard to get out, by my '77 suffered a little frame twist that had to be straightened. That was the last time I tried to help someone out. It was also the last time I went wheelin without a winch.

i had one really bad stuck behind my house in the swamp....buried to the cab! almost got a dozer stuck gettin it out. That was in the mud.

I was also pretty bad stuck up at Tellico one weekend, i was on Peckwerwood and got caught up with a rock on one side and a 5' drop off on the other with a snapped front stub. that took some thinking and creativity to get out of

A neighbor somehow mangae to bury his john deere 4wd tractor (16.4 36 dual and 260hp) up past the planiteries. It took both of our tractors (18.4x38 duals and 280hp and a 24.4x38 duals and 360hp) to pull him out using 2 100'x 6" doulbe ply tow ropes, ended up breaking one, and it took about four tries before he poped out of the pit he dug. Its pretty neat to watch these big 4wd tractors to stretch those tow ropes twice their lenght then pull both tractor backwards.

I have never been "really" stuck. Yet. But I saw these guys in the desert that had decided to drive their 2wd nissan ex-cab pickup down and up the gully. Well, the down part went quite well but the up part didn't happen as much. They drug the rear bumper and had that and the front wheels touching the ground. The rear suspension just hung there, two feet off the ground. It didn't look like they had any shovels. I was out riding my 4wheeler so I didn't have any recovery equipment. I hope they got out!

Crappiest stuck I had was when I had just started driving, and just started off-roading, driving a trail-conquering, mud-bogging, bone stock 2wd Isuzu Hombre (yeah right! )

I had been down this trail we called 'Vietnam' 100's of times, it was dry, a little off camber, but easy. Someone had dumped a truckload of what looked to be banana tree stalks in the middle of the trail. Being the idiot that I am, I decided to drive straight over them. The stalks were covering a 2ft. deep mudhole, and I broke straight through them all and got stuck good. So there I sat, stuck in the mud, stuck ontop of banana stalks. I got out of my truck to see what I was dealing with, and found out that the banana stalks were rotten & stinking to high heaven!! Not only that, but a huge nest of fireants had pretty much made the heap of stalks their home. I had a FUN time getting myself out of that one.

Worst stuck I ever had is in the same Isuzu, on a tidal flat, where I had managed to get a City Parks & Rec. truck, 2 tow trucks for the Parks & Rec. truck, a good samaritan in a Dodge, an onlooker in a Cherokee, my buddy in his 2wd F-250 all stuck because of me. Got stuck at 9 A.M., didn't get un-stuck until after Midnight. At least I had company!!

I remember when the first winter i had my pickup in this blizzard thinking my 4-wheel drive cant be stopped. The ditches were completely full they were even with the road and there was this little car abandoned in the middle of the road well i couldnt stop haha so i took the ditch instead of nailing the car. well it ended up being a steep ditch and the front end sank in and i had the ENTIRE cab burried i had to crawl out the window to get out and dig a hole to get to the back bumper so the tractor could pull me out. haha beats hittin the car i guess.
