LMAO!!!! I bet you had fun right up until she bogged on you! SO I guess the question of the evening is "How did you get out?" :think:

We had about 4 inches of snow on the ground today! :wtf:

Not stock tires. I'm not that dumb! 285 m/t's.
150$ worth of tow truck to get me out. The pic from far away is the distance from a gravel road. Had to use all of the tow trucks line, two 25' tow straps (lucky I had those) and all the chain he had in the truck. Best part was that with about 60' left to pull me out as the driver was taking one of the tow straps off I went for it and made it out! Good stuff!
Cleaned up pretty good too, this neighborhood had the streets flooded w/ about 6" of water... plowed through there at about 20mph and she cleaned right up!!!

I honestly thought for a moment though the front end loader parked out front would have had to get me out...

Did you feel like an ass having to leave your truck in the construction site stuck

in the mud? Obviously they aren't working there because of the mud. If it was my jobsite, I would keep on working like nothing was in my way!:badidea:

I hate when people tear up sh!t that isn't their's. :mad:

Now if that is your jobsite, I guess you get to fix the mess, more power to you, tear it up!!!!):h

Actually, they weren't working there because it was Saturday. I'm quite positive a front end loader wouldn't get stuck out there. They aren't even done with any grading there yet, can't imagine anyone will be too upset! Heck, what do I know about construction sites except they're fun to drive through (until this point!)

That'd be great if someone ran over my truck with a front end loader, more $ for me to buy a new truck w/ less mud on it. I can't imagine Joe Blow working in a front end loader saying "hey that new trucks in my way, I'll just run it over".

150 gosh dang. I would have called some friends before I paid that much for a little stuck. The night I got stuck (4 inch lift 33's) my friend pulled me and turned and tried it himself. got a bout the same distance and that was that. I hooked up to and returned the favor. i was in about 30 feet into the hole in about 1.5 feet of the finest georgia gumbo when couldnt push any more mud.

Wow, thats pretty deep. Don't look like it but when its halfway up the tires thats about all that factory ground clearance will allow. Nice pics though.

Me too. This is our irrigation reservoir, which if we weren't in a drought would be way higher than where we were. Note the high water marks in the last picture, that's where we should be for irrigation water.

Brother got stuck trying to pull me out, another guy with us had to give him alittle tug too. Mine we had to dig some ramps and get 70 feet of strap so he could get on dryer ground. Popped right out then.
Our mud wasn't near as sloppy and wet as yours though..

It just shows me why I need a 6 inch lift and 35s. But then the truck might not be as good for towing, and that was why I bought it. Actually I think it would be fine for towing except having to make a drop hitch. Not sure about a gooseneck though. If I ever buy one....

That’s funny cause we had a problem with people off roading and running over our stakes at work (there very important pieces of lath with grades on them that can cost us big $$$$). One day we find a Toyota stuck up to the doors in the mud and by the end of the day someone had ripped the shifter out, slashed the tires, smashed the windows and done a little body and motor work. I have no idea how it happened the truck just started falling apart.;) The point is you may not know your damaging stuff like just making the ruts. Nevertheless, I did the same thing when I was younger and I have borrowed a few pieces of equipment to pull my self out. I also knew about the sites cause my dad and me where building a house there, and I knew most of the guys that worked out there.

Glad some one else understands about these punks running through a jobsite. It doesn't cost them anything to tear sh!t up and leave. It cost the contractors in the end. :rant:

Ford guys do it too! I took this picture in February this year in the
Mojave desert. The truck was in the sand overnight and his buddies
recued him the next day.

The passenger said, "go for it..... it's solid"

Once, but actually not in that picture there. When he first hooked on we tried really close with a chain and 10 foot strap. He sunk right away then, but we didn't get a pic of that. He got pulled out of that and then some drunk old bastards came and started telling us to try gently pulling with both trucks, which is why in that pic there he has the strap on the front of his truck. He backed out of that. The old drunks pissed me off and I told them to go away. We were mostly messing around waiting for the kid with the 2 30 foot straps to show up, when he did we had 70 feet of strap so aaron could be on dryer ground and then he got me out fairly quick.:ro)

Looks like somebody dropped it from the sky, the people in back are standing on top of the mud. But I guess it is a Ford. :lol:

Yeah I hate it when people go mudding on other people's land, whether it be a jobsite or a farm. Even in high school I would never go mudding on someone else's property. I would drive on other people's property only to help get someone else unstuck, and I hated doing it then.
