Stuck!!!!

This one goes out to seminaryranger<!-- END TEMPLATE: memberinfo_visitorbit -->. So I took my 2002 F-250 XL off road. Everything was good until I got stuck on my 4th trip through the mud. The tires pretty much suck for off road use. The ground was really wet and muddy so it made huge ruts that became more than my tires and me could handle. But anyway it was fun and Im currently awaiting a tow with the tractor from my dad who is pissed BTW haha. I'll give an update later to tell if I'm out or not.

So heres so pictures.

Somehow I forsee a lift and some mud grips in your future....

Be happy you have 16" wheels, you have a TON of choices in better A/T and M/T tires in stock sizes if you don't want to do a lift.

I don't see you going through that, no matter what tires. And a lift is of no help at all. See all that marsh grass? Should have been a clue.

I'm with Dad on this one.

Boggers would do it.

Just the 12" whiplash kit to clear the 44" boggers.

Mo' skinny pedal solves all problems.


I'm just kidding around man. No I agree, any stock truck would get stuck simply because the frame will sink and there's no way to get enough traction to move a SD front end through that. I think a 6" lift and 37x14.5 Swampers would do it, but it would be a bog run, and not normal drive through the pasture.

Yep, that would take a bogger. You can turn a Superduty into a bogger, if that's what you want. It's not much of a street truck when you get done.

But what the heck - getting stuck is how you learn the limits.

Pfff...
The Goodyear Wrangler Kevlars would have pulled through there, no problem!




Just kidding. I think we all know that I'd be out there stuck up to the doors right beside you. Reps to you for some great pics. It looks like even a smaller tractor might be able to get you out if the ground behind the truck is as solid as it looks in the pics.

Peace,
Chris

Whoo Hoo! Glad to see that you are out there having fun! Yeah, SeminaryRanger sets the standard for regular updates with pics while off-roading in a Super Duty. Makes me want to get out there too!

Nice place you got there. Take their advice and always have a buddy with you, preferably one with a winch. SOme mild mudders and a little lift would go a long way.

Thankfully there are no "high tides" in that field! Wow, how would you like to explain some of those "stucks" to Daddy!
