exctly...i work with some of them hard core wheelers who have never gotten stuck in their bone stock ford ranger on bald street tires...all i say is if you dont get stuck your not trying...the water was knee deep when i started...i knew i was gonna get stuck but you never know how far you could have made it if you dont try...i actually have it stuck in the same area again this week...but the kids are happy they are 3 and 6 and if the water flys up on the windows they are happy and thats all that matters to me.

I know what you mean about the hard core wheelers that never get stuck in a stock truck with bald tires. They all think not getting stuck is a bolster to thier driving ability but stuck is just a matter of how much traction there is available and if your tires can reach it or not no matter how well you drive. Love the pics thats awesome.

You may want to get a winch whole lot more convinent than tow trucks.

Every true 4wheeler would have a winch if it wasn`t easier said than done(money thing).I`ve never been able to get that far with a truck.Just a poorboy snatch`um strap or chain

stuck my 2001 2 wd pickup like that. Sunk it to the botttom of the doors. Had less than 1200 miles on it at the time. My wife was ready to kill me. What's a truck for?

Heck half the fun of wheelin' IMO is telling the srtories of how ya got 'er stuck

Looked like it was a fun time anyways for the kids! Oh, and the pics are sweet too!

Sweet mudding pictures. Looks like it was a blast. I know what you mean about people bragging about not getting stuck and it just means that they did not try hard enough. Kool to hear the kids have fun mudding with you. Thanx for sharing the pictures.
