What are some stories everyone has? Like real bad stucks where you got buried, times when stuff got broken, funny stories, or just a good wheelin experience. I'm just curious and I like to hear other experiences.

I don't know if this counts but i was mowin filter strips with a batwing once and buried the 4520 as well as the batwing. Any way it took my dad's wrecker and the wrecker tied to our 4840 to winch it out.

My cousin has an 82 2500 chevy diesel aka "the beast" and we were haulin equipment for my dad and I's closing out sale and it got stuck in the ditch and i pulled him out and then went through the same ditch in my dodge in 2wd with bald 265's just to show him up.

And then a couple winter's ago me and my buddies were out slidin around in my truck and a ford ranger that was behind me. We were out by my dad's place and if any one knows illinois weather, it's raining one day and freezin rain the next. Anywho there was this drainage ditch that was full of water draining from a field with prolly 6 inches of ice on top. my buddy says go and i was skeptical because i still had the bald tires on and no lift and there was no way that ranger was pullin me out and the last thing i was gonna do was call my dad. So i went anyway balls to the wall and made it. I was very surprised.

I could go on and on forever with stories, but i won't bore ya'll.

that last story is good but what does the ranger have to do with anything?? OR is it just that he couldn't pull you out?

well my story goes like this we got of school early so me and a friend decided 2 go mudding in the flats and well i ended up framing my truck and when he went 2 pull me out he got framed so we sat there 4 bout n hour for my friend 2 come and he got stuck so we called another guy and he got stuck so we called this guy with a runner on 40 boggers he came and pulled us out and while he was doing that a few other trucks showed up and well we all got out but then the runner got framed so we had a diesel pull him out and on the way out the deisel got stuck so the runner pulled him out and then the runner got stuck again so the deisel pulled him out again and then a few others kept getting stuck and well this went on till 2 in the morning


and another story my friend was flying down a dirt road and didnt c the the drainage ditch he slamed his brakes and luckly just slid down the ditch but still hit hard thank god for the ranchhand but his was in the till bout 12 at night

there was just no way that truck was yankin me out if i got stuck because of the icy roads.

first major trip out. just after i got the lift and tires put on the truck.

took me 2 years to build the truck to how i wanted it. did some light wheelin fields but nothin major.

well after all this time i decided to actualy try it out. this was when i had less than 500 miles on my new suspension and tires.

so one day after school i got a couple buddies together and we decided to go the local ponds. this was when the ponds were open to public. anyways truck was doin real great on the trails and hills. deep mud didnt stop those brand new 37" ssr's much. towards the end of the day i decided to take it swimming. anyways there was this shallow (3.5') deep pond. it was a good 2 football field lengths. started at one end, powered my way to the other end. got to the end and i found a cross rut. front end bounced through but back end dug down. after about 60 seconds of forward backwards i realized it was useless. all my buddies tryed each one at a time to pull me out. no use. so we started hooking 2 vehicles together. no use. so we decided 4 vehicles. still no use. im just sinkin deeper. none of us had a winch or a tree to hook it to. luckilly there was a farmer just down the road that had a stock chevy k30 with a PTO winch on the front. we talked him into helping. he had a good 200' of cable. with all the cable and my 150' of chains, and a few of my buddies tow straps. we managed to just barely reach from one side the pond to were my truck was. we had to hook 2 more vehicles to the chevy for anchor weight. as he pulled i backed up. about the middle of the pond i put it out of gear and let him pull me the rest of the way back to shore. all this took about 6 hours of work.

heres a picture



edit: these pics were taken just after i got stuck. by the time the chevy got the i had almost 8" of water in the cab

Me and my friend were out wheeling at one of the local off-road spots. We were mostly just hitting the big mud holes, but I found a trail through the grass so we decided to check it out. We followed it for a long way and came to a ditch that I would definitely bottom out in if I kept going so my buddy got out to guide me as I tried to turn around (the trail is very skinny). As I was trying to turn around I came less than a foot from falling into a 10 foot deep trench with a stream at the bottom, and my truck would have ended up on my buddy. Thanks to my buddy yelling (even though it was a little late) I floored it and didn't fall in. I ended up having to back all the way down the trail, that was a challenge. This was the day my avatar picture was taken.

It had been raining one day so I stopped at this big [censored] ditch on a private road. I got out of my truck to see how solid the ground was and it felt real tough didn't feel loose at all so I start creeping down into it going slow and thats when everthing sinks down. then it was wet as shat and muddy, the mud is up halfway up my differential so I sit there for hours digging out my tires and putting big broken limbs under my tires before finally my front tires get some traction so I floored it and my rear tires sunk down more until it hit some solid ground. It was easy to get out from there except I came out with about 30 pounds of mud on my axles.

You all are now stranger for me but after reading the stories I come to know you. There is a style also due to you people of keeping big wheels (not like your car's) in local use cars. Main benefit of big tyres is that to keep very tight touch with road while driving.

Huh?

I like John's story the best! xD
