Worst stuck pic thread

Rain and mud can make for some interesting recoveries. Trying to pull a vehicle stuck in mud from a truck that is sitting in mud is a slippery mess. That's when you need to break out the winch and use a compound pull from some large trees..

 

[Mr. Truckles]

That's definitely the best way. Our big problem was there was a 90 degree left turn right in front of the truck so we couldn't do a straight pull and there was no room to even get another truck around it. I wish the pictures could really do it justice the truck sank down another foot overnight but by then we were too exhausted to take pictures. altho here is a couple from after we got it out

So "bro night" with two of my buddies ran into a little of trouble when my truck got high centered on some hidden ruts. My idle spun my tires at times from being so far off the ground.

The ride started without a hitch by avoiding a huge mud hole at the entrance of a trail and going around it where smaller trucks had made a path. After crawling through to the end of the trail we turned around to leave. When we got back to the mud hole i asked my bud in the passenger seat if he thought i could make it through the shallow side of the hole since he had been through it in his jeep about a year ago, he said yep so without hesitating i drove into the mud. The second my back tires left solid ground i stopped moving.

It ended up taking three jeeps, two winches, and five hours to free my truck from the muck. Oh and by the time we freed my truck the mud had begun to freeze over. Not the most fun night but it was a lesson learned and another memory made between friends. After cleaning up and running around town it doesn't seem anything has torn up on the truck. Lucky me!

After looking everything over the ruts had to have been made by something with at least 38'' to tear it up since my friend had been there with his 31''

Again, you need to get a discount card for a free car wash after the 5th trip, LOL. Stay safe out there man and always wheel with another vehicle.
