stuck for reall

so the other evening im bored
i decided to go play around in a wash near my house.
well as the title saysss
i got mad stuck
the popos came out, brought a wrecker, prolly going to impound it.
thankfully the flatbed couldnt get out to where i was, and it wasnt private property, so they basically said your on your own, have fun getting it.
i guess everyones saying


haha




Thats all folks

ha, ive been out there once or twice before, but its never been that bad.
and the locker is hopefully coming soon, pending funds.

i think it was private property owned by the HOA of my neighborhood that this is 100 yards away from.
the impoud thing was just what someone was saying.

SO, which one is it? Wheeling on private property is NOT something to brag about have some respect...I'm sure your neighbors think its real cool

I say you throw some better tires on that truck. BFG Mud-terrains perhaps?

I see the rears are BFG, and the fronts GY, same size I hope.

I have a feeling if he had good tires and a locker, the winch and recovery gear wouldnt be needed.

Winches are nice...they give you too much confidence

weren't you stuck there before?

Yeah, hopefully he learns his lesson...but maybe not : looks like the same spot he got stuck in a couple of months ago:
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/stuck-139991/

I have had one of these for over 15 years. More Power Puller
http://www.cspoutdoors.com/morpowpul.html
much better/more powerful/more cable than a regular come a long. With it and an assortment of straps, that little mudhole extraction would have only taken a little while.

I have lost count of how many times I have pulled someone out with it.

Also think about front and rear recovery points when you start thinking about recovery gear

EDit:
I take it you never ordered that Aussie Locker next friday when you got paid?

but anyway

check out my sig have a look at my tire choice, and youll know why i got stuck

Maybe to you, but this kind of thread is useful to us newbies, to help us learn what is and isn't possible.
