Isn't really a whoops.. it kinda is.. idk.. I just wanna tell ya'll about my crazy night..
A buddy of mine just got a 1991 Explorer with the OHV v6, Manual.. it's got a custom paint job on it.. looks like spray paint.. it's nicely done.. but the weather has taken it's toll and it looks like a mosaic thing all over the body.. looks kinda cool.. it's a bit flaky in a few places.. the windshield visor I like though.. with the amber lights up top... AND he's got a sunroof.. I'm jealous..
Anyways...
We went out to go mess around.. Did a little light off-roading.. lit some fireworks... raced around, n drifted on these two ice tracks we have here.. I was the first to get stuck... we've been having some really windy weather here lately... and I was climbing this one hill I always climb.. I noticed something a little different about it though... a fresh pile of snow on top.. I was like.. hm.. something isn't right.. but I went for it anyways.. got high centered on it... he pulled me off of it... [Man!, You guys were right.. is pays to have a trail buddy with ya.. it's a lot funner too] Then he got stuck later that night.. he went off the track while he was drifting.. [He's pretty damn good at it too] I pulled him out.. he was like.. Let's do some more difficult 4x4 trails.. so we did.. no problems.. n then I saw this area I'm always going through.. pretty deep snow.. 1Ft+ or so.. hard packed.. most of it.... I was like.. Hmm.. lets test out his 4x4 =D..
well.. We started going out there... I got stuck up on where a snowmachine came off a hill n dug in... I kinda pulled myself out of it.. but didn't get too far.. I dug myself so deep.. I hit the gravel n whatnot under all the ice n snow.. I was like.. Damn...
And then.. it happened.. He got stuck behind me a little ways away... man.. it sucked.. he couldn't get out at all.. he tried everything.. low range..ect... I called up a buddy at 5am.. who has a lifted F150 with 38" tires and a 302 in it... He hooked onto the 91 in front and dragged it outta the area like it was nothing... we were having a little trouble with mine though.. He couldn't really find a good area to hook up in front.. I was like.. well.. I got a hitch in the back.. he was like.. On the bumper? Noo.. it's a hidden hitch thing connected to the frame.. he was just like.. Hm... Well.. I guess you're going out backwards... hahaha.. at first he was sliding like crazy n digging in.. so he backed up a little bit.. n Floored it.... man... that was crazy...
The whole night was crazy.. I wish I had my camera... My buddy was like.. lets do this again sometime.. when the snow is lower or it's summer.. I just told him... you gotta pay to play, you can't expect never to get stuck..
I didn't like the 1st Gen Explorers Tooo much before... but now.. Damn.. I know they can hold their own.... Made me kinda happy I made it further though.. =P But then again.. I have a bigger engine, better tires.. a bigger tires... Was fun as hell though..
Just thought it was funny, I get stuck first.. he pulls me out... then he does and I get him out.. n then both of us get stuck n we were just like... ah...crap... hahaha..
Ahh.. I wanna do this again!.. It's soo much funner than being alone.. [which is pretty dumb, I'll admit..]
Anyone else have any crazy winter stories? Any of you have any ice tracks?
