Default a little mud

i do mean a little, its nothing special, but its the most my truck has seen. ive taken it threw a few puddles before, but today i decided to go play a little bit and i wound of getting stuck haha, funny actually. i covered my windshield on one splash, and being a dumbass, i STOPPED, and turned on the wipers, and not thinking, i waited about 20 seconds or so, and boy did i sink fast. i didnt have my phone on me so i couldnt call anyone to come pull me out so i had to wait for someone to drive by, and finally a chevy1500 came by and was nice enough to lend a hand. soo i dont have pictures of that but i have pics of the aftermath. notice i lost a fog light and my bumper is now hanging down. btw, there new tires got them put on yesterday, 255 75.

It's no wonder you got stuck. Looks like a 2wd with obvious street tires. /facepalm

You should atleast get a good set of a/t's if your going to do that. An open diff/2wd/all season tires, truck is not going very far in mud. That guy in the chevy must have thought you were an idiot.
