i didnt get stuck in this hole, but my buddy had a 94 nissan 4x4, and well, the ol dodge had to help him through....
on the other side of the hill is what people call "idiots hole" there have been trucks that have attempted to go through, and all that was sticking up out of the water was the top cab lights....
CLICK THE PICS, THEY ARE VIDEOS

Man, this is a AWESOME thread! I don't go "rocking" or "mudding", but just being on a farm you DO get stuck. Actually, I have never gotten the truck stuck! Haha I hope my luck stays the same.
One year we got 7 inches of rain in two hours. needless to stay that water stayed around for weeks on end whether we realized it or not. Our main part of our farm is split on both sides of the gravel road here. Well Dad thought it would be fine to run the truck out across the road to grab a bunch of steel t-posts we had taken down from the temporary fence.Got to the bottom of the hill with the RAM, well he couldn't back up... so he RAMmed forward and spun and spun his tires... so he got stuck perfectly level with the running boards. I think those running boards were what kept it from going down farther! So mom had to come with the Bobcat skidloader to pull it out ( I did not watch that part as I was busy doing something else, but I can tell you how long THAT took!). So while mom was running the Bobcat down there I started up the awesome and unkillable John Deere 165, hitched up to my 4 foot dump trailer, and headed down with two wheel drive to show down the RAM lol... I made it across the swamp just fine with the 2wd 165! So I went out to grab the 30 or so t-posts... Had to take it slow as the posts did not balance good in the dump trailer
.. The ends of the posts stuck out the back so every time I would hit a bump I would lose traction LOL.. But I got across the swampy area again just fine, probably cause there weren't any bumps! Oh, and I must mention, it took me about half a hour with the 165 to grab posts, and just as I got past them they got the truck free LOLOLOL... Like I told Dad, shoulda let me run the 165 out there in the first place... In this case 4wd couldn't beat a 2wd rofl... Took about a year to get all of that dirt cleaned completely off...
The only times I ever got anything stuck were not with the truck. So these next two aren't with the RAM
.
I took the 165 out to mow under the locust trees and got stuck in the deep hole which is where our compost pile was... Couldn't make it up the little hill and couldn't back up! Then the worst time I ever got stuck was with the JD 318. I was heading over the marsh to go mow a couple acres on the other side. I didn't want to go around the long way, so I just headed over the crossing that someone put over the stream in the marsh. Easy? No, i got stuck in the marsh just PAST the crossing! The belly mower was partially covered with mud..
Now for another RAM stuck story: It happened in the same marsh as the JD318! Except about two years prior.
We hired a neighbour to mow on the other side of the marsh... Well all went fine until he tried to mow part of the marsh itself... Got the big 200HP Case and brush cutter stuck. It was 4wd as well. So he went and took his RAM 2500HD Cummins 6spd out there. It was 4wd too! Yank Yank... Nothing. He gets out and sees he's stuck up to the frame in marshy mud! So he had to go and get his dad to bring his 4wd tractor and loader. Then they used it to first pull the brush cutter out with a 20ft chain or so . These are tight quarters around this farm... he was just feet away from slipping into the marshy area with his tractor... Got the brush cutter out, then used the chain on the tractor loader on the truck to pull the truck up because the suction was soo bad. Then they got the tractor out with BOTH the truck and tractor! Soo that was a baaaaad mess and to this day we can still find the tractor ruts...
I wish I had the pics handy but at that time I had no cell phone so I didn't take any pics and the well the pics we took with the camera are buried in a stack of over 40 DVDs...
