You ain't seen stuck -- FJ Cruiser

Love how everybody on this site is expert. We have all been in crappy situation and we judge this guy. At the time he made a poor decision we all do that from time to time. You have to pay to play.

 

You have to pay to play.. That's for damn sure! The rule of life is, if you are human, you will F up, many times in life. Poor guy, he has my wishes of luck on his side.

 

We have been in crappy situations, most of us have recovery points, gear and tires that are not bald. I hope at minimum the individual learned to get new tires.

 

wooow crazy story, I'll take this as a lesson to avoid ice/icy water. I'll take being stuck in some mud anyday over that kinda nightmare.

 

I didn't read the entire thread. I just clicked the post to look at the shit show which was at hand! Is that why he got stuck in the first place, was crap tires?

 

They were bald, bull bar isnt worth a shit, and they broke the drop hitch using it to try and get him out.

 

holy hell.




That is all!

 

He was in a natural spring. Tires alone probably wouldn't have saved him

 

Before it was frozen in place, I wonder if one of those exhaust jacks would have done the trick on the soft ground or maybe those traction mats

 

Thought about that too. But, being unprepared got them in trouble. It's a mistake everyone makes at some point.

 

Plus I'm pretty sure that is a 2wd fj.... tires won't help that in mud and ice.

 

lol, ok, ok...I may have been a little harsh on this guy about his bull bar and such. I'm still mad for buying one for my taco in the 90's that was crap and useless! I've since learned my lesson and hopefully he will too.....gotta have more recovery points in situations like this.

 

I thought it was just a bad movie.

He went alone?! I know a lot of guys do and that's great if you're equipped properly.

didn't want to rip ya too hard so I kept the language clean! Those aren't useless if you want to add lights and don't run into stuff haha and I actually was gonna buy one about 3 years ago and decided against it.

 

I don't think he was alone, at first anyway. I read on the Facebook thread he went to get a buddy unstuck, after he got his buddy out, he got stuck and his buddy bailed. If he would have posted he needed help getting out that night I could have ran up there and winched him out.

 

Wouldn't have happened in Florida.

 

The shirts and flip flops probably isn't far off. Lool

 

sounds like he needs new buddies

 

This was just a natural spring. Down there you get sinkholes that swallow neighborhoods and such right? We do have mines all over out there though that appear in a hurry and have swallowed a few ATV's and guys that don't know how to stay on the trail.

 

Well that would suck.
