This is what happens when you ask a Dodge for help.

Either way, your Ex still looks better buried to the rails than the Dodge does.

this would be a good start so that doesn't happen again,

Wow! I saw your request for help a couple days ago when I was in Vermont and figured if you were still stuck when I got back I'd see if I could help... there's no way I would have been able to help you seeing this. Did you finally get out?

this would also be a good idea. anytime you play in the mud, plan on being stuck

From your pictures it looks like you tried to drive through a lake. Nice.

Lesson learned, we all get stuck the first time out.

Next time bring some long ropes and make sure the recovery vehicle doesnt follow you in!

Definitely good advice, but I don't think the recovery vehicle followed him in. He had posted a few nights previous to this about needing help getting his Explorer "unstuck". I am quite sure that the area where he was wheeling is not normally a lake or swamp, but may have gotten that way quickly.
What has not been mentioned here is what is going on in this part of the country. The area where he lives got rain for 5 or 6 days straight last week. We are not talking about your typical rain, we are talking over 14 inches of rain. All the rivers and streams are well above flood stage and there is a state of Emergency that has been called by the Governor of Massachusetts due to the flood damage. The ground had not completely thawed out from the winter freeze, but because of the amount of rain it is now. While we always have what we New Englanders loving refer to as "mud season" (the ground thaws out, resulting in all dirt turning to mud) add 14 inches of rain to our typical mud season.....and Its soup time.

For your sake I hope you don't get any more water there or sink any deeper. A couple more months and it will dry up enough to drive it out of there. How far from dry land where a wrecker can get a cable to it?

 

[fordkid917]

at least your truck doesnt look like mine lol. the day after i rolled it i took it out muddin and hydrolocked the motor. got pulled home 9 miles by a jeep.

 

[alohamonte]

OP, so are you unstuck yet?

 

[1998Explodasport]

can I has that Cummins when he breaks it in the mud?

Haha I have first dibbs on the Cummins, he never goes wheeling I just called him for help.

 

[1998Explodasport]

wow, you guys are doomed lol. Did you guys get pulled out eventually?

The grounds around here are not holding up at all as well. It was raining for few days and all of the melted snow had affected the ground around here. A friend of mine went to mud bog recently and he said literally everyone got stuck on that day, there were so much mud and all that.

It took a little work but we eventually got out, it just kept raining so it was tough.

I made it further than the Dodge 2500 and Chevy 2500. The Dodge had to pull the Chevy out.

Yea I went out when the rain started and that's when I got stuck and I went back the next day with the Dodge and he ended up stuck. It was fun getting ourselves out though.

Yes I am unstuck.

Where is that picture? That is the type of systematic documentation we need here...

"If you can't Dodge it, sink it." Nah- I doubt anyone without some special equipment and mods would have gotten out of there without cables.

 

[1998Explodasport]

In this pic you can see my Explorer about 100 feet in front of the Dodge, look to the right a little.

Always get out and check an obstacle before trying to traverse it. That alone will get you a lot further than any amount of mods.

Correct- i.e. if you're driving a jeep near water:

On grass:

Or near landscaped parking lots...
