How's this? When I get stuck, I like the TTB to be unnoticeable. (Notice the Jeep stuck behind me in the second pic. Hell, I was going through that part earlier in 2WD! )

Tisma and Bryan Calling For Coleman To Pull Them out.jpg
all three of these are from the same trip, I got "unstuck" after a lot of pulling front and rear, the CJ sucked in water and the XJ was able to free himself.
long story of how i got like that (there is an explination floating around one of the badlands threads)....ended up being pulled off the side of the hill
You had to be there. In the first pic, you can see how the 31s are about swallowed in there. The 8.8 got hung up in the middle and the tires were no where near the ground. Some 35s+ must have rutted it out for me.
In the second pic, it didn't look really stuck, but that thing was MAJORLY stuck. The TTB couldn't even be seen at all. They don't call it a plow for nothing. You really know your stuck when a Bronco on 38s has to take a couple of runs for you to be pulled out!
No I'm not locked, and no I'm not 2wd. Well, actually I am locked and have 4.88 gears...only problem is that they are sitting in a Ford 9" in my basement.
ive heard that applying some brake sometimes helps when a wheel is just free spinning in the air (to force the differential to transfer some of the power since the spinning wheel would slow down a bit due to the brake).. ive never tried it tho..
Jim, I like the half clear/half stock corners. My locker is on the way, so I'm gonna be trying some crazy stuff on my first outing with it. I'll try to whip up a nice pic to post in this thread. I don't really have pictures of the other stucks.
Yep, that's John alright. If you think that fender is bad, you should see the other ones, I think a tree, the side of a hill, maybe some rocks, and some other stuff happened to it. On the plus side, I think all the body work was worth it, I've seen that truck do some pretty amazing things at our local mud hole, he has no fear.
