That there is the reason I keep a good long tow strap in my truck. But I use it more to pull other people out of situations like that.

You should invest in a good one. Not a cheap one.

Don't feel bad.

I once got my truck stuck in the yard behind my house. I walked back there and checked the ground and it was good to go so I backed in there and hooked the jet ski up. Started to come back around the front and that was it, she was stuck. I got her out without the aid of another truck but not without tearing mine and the neighbor's yard up pretty badly.

I was filling ruts for weeks!

Mud's great as long as its not my superduty in it. Thats what i got my yota for. As far as getting stuck, a BIG THANKS goes out to my father for always coming and pulling my dumb@zz out. Even in the middle of the night about 50 miles away from home, wading in waist deep water with a skiff of snow on the ground. The only reason for that was because I had missed him when he came by as i was walking to meet him. But he did it without a complaint.

Were you high-centered or just up to the axles in mud? I liked playing in mud at once, until two years later i'm working on my truck and mud falls in my face.

Well both sorta, rear axle was in the mud and there was no room between the truck and the ground.

I have a bucket and a hose I wash mine with FREE BEE BUT with all that mud, you don't have to clean up the car wash floor.
