Muddin Friday Night

[ryanj1022]

So this is gonna be kinda long so you can stop now if you want to. But Friday night I was goin out with three of my friends, I had already picked up Nick, and was on the way to Marks house. He has this sweet muddin spot right beside his dirt-road. I usually go through it 5-6 easily in 2wd before it starts to get sticky. Well I knew i didn't have a chain, come-along, or really anybody to call (it was 2 a.m. and ive only been livin here for a few months) to pull me out. But i said screw it, and went anyway. What I didn't know was that they brought a Backhoe in and dug out the hole so no one would drive through it. I started through and it was fine, but i didn't know about the MONSTER hole in the center so i slowed on the gas a little in the center. My Bronco II sunk up to half-way up the headlights. I dropped it in 4 LOW and it wouldn't budge. AT ALL. I tried every trick i knew to get out and she wouldn't budge. This stuff was STICKY. So i called Mark and he came down to check it out. He called a few of his freinds. One had an 07 F-150 and the other had a 98 Grand Cherokee with the V8. They only thing they had was a steel cable. It was pretty thin and i knew it would't hold, but we tried anyway. It popped. So they left to get a rope. They came back with it, and it popped, but i moved about 6 inches. I had just took my chains out of my truck 2 days earlier and but they were about 25 minutes away at my house. Nobody could find anything to get me out so my brother left to go get my chain. When he got back, the Jeep tried but didn't have the ass to get me out. And he even snatched me about 3-4 times. So the 2WD F-150 came in, and snatched me out the first time. I was stuck in that hole for about 2 hours. So just for the hell of it, and the truck and chain was still there, i hit it again but instead of 2WD and low gas, i dropped it in 4 HIGH and held it on the floor in 2nd. I thought i was stuck again but just kept the wheels turnin and rockin the steering wheel, and she crawled through. The Jeep tried 3 different times and still didn't make it through. I laughed and told him to go buy a Ford son. But now, me and all of my friends have a new play hole. And my chains will NEVER leave my truck again.

must've sucked getting out of your bronco but makes it fun getting dirty.
one thing though, I'd get a tow strap with looped ends before using chains or clevis hooks. flying metal just doesn't sound fun to me.

Yea i have seen several back glasses broken out from doing the same thing, but i couldn't leave her sittin there. I had a 50 ft. snatch rope but let a friend borrow it and their shed caught fire and it burned. im 6'3 and i could barely jump across the mud to get in it. i have never seen my truck articulate like that. my right rear tire was almost touching the fender, and my back left had at least a foot in from tire to fender.

This was after i got snatched back about a foot but was still stuck. It's the only pic i have, sorry. Rain washed most of the mud off of the truck.
