Stuck Tacos

As it should be.

 

Confirmed.

 

Such a cool photo!

 

Seconds before disaster.



The ground looked solid but as soon as the tire touched that patch I could feel the truck start to rotate and the more I wiggled the soupier it got.





Air down, lockers, ATRACK and swearing did nothing.









SKETCHY SKETCH. Don't do this.



Finally out and airing up after hours of digging stacking hand winching and jacking.



She wears dirt well though.



Ironic choice of attire.

 

High centered in Farminington NM circa 2009

 

The truck wasn’t stuck, but the tractor sure was. Brush hogging an area to dig a drainage ditch, bopping along on the reeds for a bit and then, well, then I wasn’t. One of the front tires got pulled off the rim in the mud so the wheel was spinning in the tire…though I had broken the front differential.
Small tractor couldn’t budge it, anchored my truck to a tree and winched w/snatch block.

pulled both front tractor wheels to replace the tires. Did I mention the “bridge” I had to repair to get across? That was fun too.

 

Oops

The sand had the consistency of powdered sugar. There's a set of maxtrax in there....somewhere

 

Still to this day, i hear

 

What, Crawl Control couldn't get you out of that?

 

I was going to say I almost lost my Trax in a similar fashion. It's crazy how fast that clay dust can suck you in

 

Not the best pics, but was stuck in
Snow for about 6 hours.

In first pic you can see how the trail was going back, few hours later it turned into a shitshow. Was raining all day.

 

slid into some ruts

 

Trying to make a climb and ended up sliding my ass over so a tree was right behind me. Had to winch the rest of the way up the climb. The snow is slightly deceptive making it look fairly tame but there are some decent rocks under there.






This one I managed to slide sideways from the wet leaves until I was right up against the tree. The winch didn't work to pull me away so I just drove it, rubbing the side of my truck on the tree. Amazingly I didn't break a window and my door still opens and closes fine.

 

Here’s a couple pictures of my beached girl.

 

In my defense, it was deeper than it looked.

 

That's what she said

 

It also looks like a lake lolol
