FX4 Stuck in the Mud
Well I finally did it. I took my new FX4 scab muddin. Everything was going great, I was spinnin aroung getting mud everywhere grinnin from ear to ear. But on my way out, the easy part, I climbed up on a little bank and slid back down and the next thing I know I dropped my left front tire into a rut, before I could stop the left rear was there to. Now Im sitting on the axel at about a 35deg. angle and all four tires just spin. NC mud is Greaeaeasssy. It tough to feel smart with 30k$ sitting sideways basically on the driverside door stuck in the mud. All's well though, I called a co-worker with an F250 raised up with mudder on it. After about three hard tugs she backed right out.Just a few scars to show she not just pretty. Any body else have mud stories too share?

IM on the stock BF goodwrench rugged trail 18's. There pretty tough tires. Everything on the truck is stock but it probably wouldn't have matter though. The front was sitting on the skid plates and the rear was sitting on the transaxle. I had dug a trench with both.

been pulled out more times than i can remember.. ive pushed my truck to its limits and have been more places with only a leveling kit than trucks with over 14 inches of lift. never been stuck without being high centered tho- that is its weak spot. My goodyear MTR's have held their own.
nothin like rollin down the street in a truck coated in mud haha gotta love it

Buried my truck up to the axles and had to be pulled out by a D10 Cat. Found the only place to get no traction in a gravel pit.

I felt invincible like Superman one winter night years ago in my F250 4x4
.I decided to go down a back road that the county had not plowed all winter.Well, as soon as I tried to go over the 6 ft pile of snow they had plowed there to close the road all winter, I got stuck up to the frame.I have been very cautious since that ridiculous stunt.I was so embarassed
.A guy in a 4x4 3/4 ton Chevy tried his best to pull me off that mountain but could not do it.I ended up getting a tow truck.When those 4x4's get stuck they are STUCK!Have Fun! P.S.I still wonder if I would have made it through, if I would have gotten a better run at it.

12 years, and never had the F150 stuck- although i've been a few places where, by rights, I should've been.
edit: does digging yourself out count as being stuck?
