***Recovered***Stuck out at Lake Mead. Need to be pulled out.

It's a new Ford F250/350 with all the offroad goods. Ford's answer to the Power Wagon. Except it doesn't have a front locker, or a winch (but it is an option), but comes stock with 35's. Available in gas or diesel.

 

The poor mans raptor.
Not saying I could even afford it

 

Considering they're pristine i would guess never.

 

Shit I haven’t used my gun for self defense yet but I’ll be happy as hell I have it when I need it. Don’t hate.

 

Not hating. Realistically you will never need them on your daily drive to and from your 9-5, so it's just something extra you're hauling around everywhere. Not saying he never will use them either.

Unlike a gun, which you never know when you'll need to use, you usually have a good idea when you're going off road.

 

Okay good point but hey they make you look pretty cool when you help friends move their furniture lol.

 

I couldn’t help but laugh at your lawn chair joke! Glad you’re out. Any damage to the body from the exhaust getting pushed?

 

No damage that I can see. I think it settled on the diff and my sliders and kept the exhaust from anything more than the bottom of the tip touching the ground. Was pitch f’n black when they got me out. So daylight may bring new discoveries. I hope not. Other than the truck shaking really bad at 50 mph and above all seemed fine. Once I unpack all the mud from the wheels I expect to shaking to disappear.

 

If SNORR posts a recovery video I will screen record and share it here.

 

This forum never disappoints. Always somebody out there willing to help a brother. Glad you got back on the road!

 

I’m just sitting here trying to think who’s the “SNORR” of Wisconsin. Sure there are actually ORR businesses, but per OP these guys did it for fun / a challenge.

Definitely need to lurk on some WI jeep forums.

 

Glad to see you are out of the mud and safe. Don't sell your Tacoma. Just learn what and where you can go. My wife has a Honda Pilot which is pretty nice and the Ridgeline is basically the same thing. It will not do what your Tacoma can do. I'm sure you are just talking BS about selling it but I do not think you would be happy with the Ridgeline. Keep us posted.

 

Except the Tremor has a Powerstroke and nowhere near the suspension that the raptor has. Not to mention towing ability that Raptor owners can only dream of.

 

I love to Taco. The ridgeline isnt and never will be for me. I was just making light of a shitty situation.

 

Yeah I agree there have got to be other ORR’s in other areas. Taking your point one step further. Maybe a Sticky could be made somewhere appropriate on Tacomaworld.com that lists and links to them all. First thing that came to mind after the oh shit moment was to hit up Tacoma world for help. Others might too. Would be a valuable asset to others.

 

Makin Memories !!!

 

Oregon has something like this and even have an app for it.

all volunteers and you let them know if your willing to help on recoveries and then if there is a request in your area you can take it or turn it down depending on what you’re vehicle status is.

 

Lateralus01, glad you are free! Thanks for sharing this. As others have mentioned, we've all been there. My moments were with my Jeep in the '80s. I never won against mud. Best wishes and please let us know how things go with the clean up.

 

Ford ftw









Thanks for all the good words. Everyone eventually has one of these moments and it's comforting to know there is people willing to do whatever it takes to get you home.

Tom

 

Whoa! How in H did you find this thread? That’s awesome. Thanks for everything Tom. I’m grateful for you guys and hope I can return the deed one day.

Now I hope you excuse me while I climb back under the truck and continue cleaning out the rest of the mud.

Oh. And one last thing. Love the Tremor!
