Nothing wrong with getting stuck. Just always go offroad with another truck I've learned... I've been called to pull people out too many times... I like riding in pairs.

Now wait..did you get stuck..or bottom out? Cause my truck was in the same situation once where I had traction but that annoying *** front chunk of the frame had me stuck and I had to call my friend with an F-150 come pull me out. He doesnt let me forget...

well a winch would have done it easily, There are pines all down that road on both sides. I wasn't bottomed out, I was rocking her pretty good from front to back about 10 ft but she just COULDN"T get out of the steep ruts I had dug! but I had fun trying to get out of this one... haven't been in thick mud in a while.

There was actually rock solid ground about 6 feet from my front bumper.

I'm actually running Mud Dawgs, pretty aggressive tires but they caked up immediately!
