Hey guys! I haven't really posted on this forum, i mostly look for tips and how-tos. I really love the site. But anyways, I'm jus some 18 y/o adult who jus graduated hs last year and as my present I received a 1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer! Very nice and clean with good condition everything pretty much and I pieced it together myself and with the help of my friends to get it ready for inspection. I go offroading occasionally, water puddles on trails, mud pits, and today i went on a snow trail with a '93 Wrangler and a '00 Cherokee.
and we're havin a good 'ol time goin up the mountain...
we kinda forgot that they don't plow up there but we still chugged on up the mountain..
And we stop at one mountain top...
By this time i'm already sliding (due to bald tires)
and here's the fun part. we all get sucked into a ditch on the side one the road. first the wrangler, then my explorer...
and then the cherokee gets sucked in after he tries to find a spot to pull me to.
So here we are. all stuck. with no cell service, small shovels, tow strap and a chain. and a hand winch of some sort.
pulling, pushing, digging, packing, thinking, and FREEZING our faces off we're about to give up......
and this heaven sent random pickup truck comes rolling down the road and comes and pulls me out no problem.
and we make it back down the hill to solid ground.
never have i been so happy to see pavement. We'll prob never go on a snow trail again, but it was a great experience. everyone is okay along with our vehicles
after a long day for both of us I decided to treat the Explorer to a well deserved car wash for being such a champ.
I think i'm going to keep my explorations more on the urban side, as opposed to the rural part of my town.
hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading, and keep 'er movin!
god bless
