Default CTD in the Swamp 1st time

Went hunting alot this weekend and finally maned up to take my black truck in the swamp, I was amazed with this truck compared to my old 1500 that just spun out so easy and would get stuck in the black mud. My2500 with All Season tires stuck better than the 1500 with 34" GoodYear A/Ts.

I used to have to get a runnin start with the 1500 to make it through stuff that wasn't nearly as bad as what I tried today, I never went over 10mph in the mud (cause I didn't want to scare all the deer away) but it just idled through in 2wd like a champ had swamp mud over the tops of the wheels and it slipped up twice on me so I locked in four so I could "quitely" get out. Didn't get anything except mequito bites in my hunting BTW [:@]

What's wrong with flyboys? I thought they were the ones that bailed the grunts out when they got in over thier head.

My river expedition was stricktly photo oppotunity, that is why he was there. I normally go through a more shallow portion of it when I cross.
