Stuck Blazer!

[Digger196]

On Sunday i was called to come get this Blazer out. It was at the Camelot trail and i was like alright cool no biggy! when i got there i walked to the Blazer to see it was wheeling alone and was totally stock with stock wheels and wheeling in a class 3 trail with huge ruts and mud holes everywhere. Well so i walk back out and get in the X and drive down there. that was mistake #1 on my part! #2 was not turning the cell phone off b/c they had a huge dodge that was going to come out and get him out but i didn't know that and got about 10 feet from him and BAM i'm spinning all 4 wheels and in this soft mud that i get NO traction. So the huge dodge comes and pulls me out and then works on the blazer that was farther down the trail than in the pics below and was bottomed out. I left b/c i had a meeting i had to be at, but today i went back to see where i got stuck b/c it was dark when i went Sunday night. I find the blazer moved and closer the the entrance but still stuck as hell! It is resting on the diffy, t-case, and tranmission as we speak. The owner is in SC b/c he works there and left the Blazer here. I'll keep ya updated on how we get him out and whats broken.

oh also this dumb@ss had no tow strap, tow hooks, or any off-road equipment with him.

Here's pics:

Hey Digger, in your first post, you said the Blazer was further in the trail than the pics....he made it past those ruts before he got stuck?

 

[Digger196]

to the left of the first picture there is enough grass to get by w/o getting stuck and he went up to where the grass turned into mud and relized he couldn't go any worther and at that point he did a 3 pt turn and had to do it by going into the ruts and that's when he was on the 3erd pt and the rear pass side slipped into a rut (deep one!) and was bottomed out. then the dogge broke a chain and got him to where he is in the stuck pic above.

what was he thinking

 

[Digger196]

IDK but i got called again today to come pull a stuck 1st gen. Explorer. It was to far for me to go but they got it out 2 hrs later and screwed up the transmission. Kids around here need to learn NOT TO WHEEL ALONE!
