Post up your pic of your WORST SNOW STUCK here in the NW!!
Who has the title for most stuck! And type up what you did and how you got out. Maybe someone will learn something from this.
Sundays adventure:
I have been up my road to play in the snow the past two days.. We got another 8-12 inches over last night. Well today I got myself a little buried. I learned a lot today. i think its the most snow I have driven in yet.. Monster was a champ though. I have open F/R 30 and 35, 3.55's, bald 33 12.50 TSL's, and a 4.5 inch lift. fronts trailmaster and the rear is a bastard pack.
First thing. Bring shovels. :twak: I didnt have all my gear with me because it got muddy yanking a buddies j-4000 that was buried last week.. It did me no good sitting in the shop
Secondly, Reverse 180's in the ditch dont work in 2-3 feet of snow and open. And "When in doubt floor it" is the most fun but is not always the best....
Thirdly, Dont be too stubborn to just stop and use the good 'ol come along. Didn't help I was in a clear cut.. We dicked around for a couple hours just to get stuck 3 more times... 15 minutes with the come along and then yanked me out.
And last of all I'm welding up my 30... DAMN IT. Or lunch boxing it
I also have a spare 35. How long will a Lincoln locked 35 last? When mine breaks I'm 10 minutes from home..
We went up in the foothills of the cascades (HWY 20) to go play for a bit today. We ended up taking a dead end and had to turn around in a bit of snow. Me being a dumbass decided to try a reverse 180. I ended up facing the ditch. Dug a nice hole on my 2 power tires. rocked a bit. trying to back out.. Stupid. So I drove straight to make a U turn and drive out. Ran into a stump. Backed up out the way I started the 180. Almost got out. And then got a pull from a buddy in his Jeep up the hill and he slid just enough to work himself into the ditch facing up hill. Now its back to my Jeep. I end up heading down the ditch and got caught up on a fallen tree. We then come alonged him out from a buried stump and He pulled me out and that was it. BUT, I'M GLAD I KNEW THAT YOU SHOULD PUT A TARP OR JACKET OVER THE CABLE AND HOOKS FACING UP from the bottom TO SEND IT TO THE GROUND. MY HAGGARD TOW ROPE RIPPED AND ALMOST GOT ME. So much wasted energy and time we could have been playing. Plus it can be dangerous. Dont you miss these good 'ol days.
Pics from Saturday. And then the stuck pics. Be patient. Then post yours!!
AND THE STUCK PICS
Rule of thumb you can go atleast to your bumper without any problems.
