Default Finally got the truck stuck, sorta

Was over at the brother in law's playing in the dirt hole he dug for his 4 wheeler, was going through it like it was nothing, then I finally got her stuck...when I bottomed out on the gas tank.

No worries, no damage to the tank

I'll bet this truck hasn't flexed as much in it's entire existence as it has the last 2 days.

We're waiting on a good rain to make the dirt hole a mud hole, then see how fast she sinks....

Here's some pictures, sorry, some of them are small.

I've only been stuck once so far and I wasn't even playing in the mud. I was on a grass trail and pushin through some dense pivot hedge which led me into a deep but not steep run-off ditch. I had to get a friend to pull me out cause I had absolutely no traction on the 4x4 or real wheel drive. Yet when I decided to play in a 2 1/2 ft (and more in certain spots) deep mud hole that has been FLOODED with water, it didn't come anywhere close to gettin stuck; even after my bud dug his Z-71 so deep he buried it on the frame hahaha.

If I had either a good LSD or rear locker I probably would have been able to back up. My passenger rear tire had all the weight on it and the driver rear was just free spinning.

Damn 1 wheel drive....

Got yerself high-centered. Yep. That'll get ya every time.

I tried to take my full sized blazer, with a four inch lift, and 33's across a ditch, but, I went at the wrong angle. Ended up with one bumper hung up on one side, and the other bumper hung up on the other, and all four tires hanging in space...... That one took some yankin' to get out. (and I think it led to the premature demise of my brothers trans in his s-15. )

You could have tried the redneck lsd, its easy and has actually helped me out once, all you have to do is apply your ebrake about half way,
Just enough to add friction to the free spinning tire causing the differential to transfer some power to the wheel that does have grip.

Also I used to carry two 4'- 2"x12" with a pacman mouth on one side, so I could wedge them under the tire with no grip.

Maybe invest in a folding shovel to dig yourself out.
