cmon thats a cliff hanger, we need some details. haha
well heres my wonderful story,
ok i had bought the bronco 1-2 weeks prior and was out skipping school one day, had just picked up a job application from advance auto, and was filling it out in a grocery store parkinglot, i was sitting thinking, and remembered a neighborhood thats been in construction for years, and still no houses, the summer before before me and a friend had 4x4 trucks, we were driving through and there was a few hunrded yard strip of mud like 50yards wide, just perfect, weve had a drought up here in ga for the last year, but i pull back through there, find a spot where i can get back the field was dried up but i keep on driving looking around and i stuck gold, i see 2 retention ponds 1 with about 1ft of water, other with like 3"s (HA), it was my first time out in the bronco offroad, and i knew it shouldnt do it alone so i was like well what the hell ill lock the hubs and kick it through the shallow pond first, so i get out get everything ready, i picked the worst approach angle possible which iwasnt thinking about at the time (this comes back to haunt me) i pull down the hill and get my front tires in the mud, i start pulling through and step on the throttle i make it about 20ft, before i sink about 3ft hiding my 35" tires completely on passengerside, so i go at it for 10-15 min reverse/fwd, i realize im not gonna make it across so i resort to trying to refverse out way i came, here comes my apporach angle, i had pulled about 30ft down the hill at like over a 35degree angle, and there was a ledge i coudnt get the bronco over no matter what, so i climbed out back window, spent 3 hours carrying 15lb rocks and wood, grass, everything i could find trying to get traction, it gets me closer to success but its just not gonna happen, so i break out all my straps and come a long, hook up to a tree up the hill over 100ft away, its about to break the comealong cause its stuck so good and its just not happening, so there is now so much tension on the straps i cant undo the comealong, so i had to cut one with my buck knife, so by now its been almost 4hours in 90degree heat, no AC in bronco, no water or anything to drink, im sweating and hot as hell, i finally give up, and its 2:50pm, my friends get out of school at 3:30, so i know if i start walking and hurry i can cross my friend on his way home from school, on a road a few miles away, so im hiking for the next 45min another kid that lives in my neighborhood picks me up, gives me a ride home, i take a 10min break drink about a gallon of water, and walk to another friends house, he goes out with me in his 2wd f-150 unfortuately his fx4 was at his dads house about 45min away
so im showing him the carnage, hes laughing we call all of our friends and nobody is answereing, one buddy with a 95 f150 on 35's answers but hes 30 min away checking out our mudhole seeing how wet it is outthere, and having some "fun" with his girlfriend, hahaha, so my bud calls his stepdad who drives 35min out of the way to come pull me out in his powerstroke, he tried a few times without hardly pressing the gas, i told him to just yank it, i feel a little tug and heard the turbos spool up and he yanked me out of the hole and up the hill like it was nothing, i amost got 2 wheels off the ground to. i took some pictures on a disposable camera i found in the bronco when i bought it, have yet to get them developed cause im that cheap tho.
moral of the story
-get my cb radio working
-get a cell phone
-retention ponds arent fun (the water has been soaking for over a year in the hole, so its probaly realllllllly soft mud)
-THINK of approach angles, if i had came into the pond from the other side which was flat, none of this woulda happend, i could have easily reversed out and got more momentum to make it to other side
