Sunk to the roof

Ok well this is not my toy but I helped convince my buddy to go for it and here is what happened, I thought Ya'll would get a kick out of this.
This guy is the most extreme I have wheeled with. All 5 people in the vehicle got out safe and It was an all nighter.








Well 4 hours and it was out.......

I would have to change my pants after that, and not because they got wet


I don't know if that is a lake or pond or whatever, but if it gets much deeper than that the further out you go, he should consider himself luck that he didn't fall through further out, he might not have been able to get it out, let alone be alive

its a dry river bed, but we found a wet spot. it was like 10 degrees out ans windy and he ended up getting buck naked and jumped in to hook the thing up to the tractor. its sitting in a heated shop right now thawing out... it'll fire after we pull the plugs, change all the fluids and add about 2 gallons of seafoam to the gas tank

Nice, I've seen this happen few times. But usually it's not as easy as over there to get 'em out.

I can't believe someone would drive a vehicle out onto the ice without checking the thickness first.
