Time to call out someone who does off-road recovery. That happened to a full size out here, buried the axles, lucky for him there was some construction nearby and they helped him with a dozer

Sorry to hear of your bad luck dude

Yeah...finding a dozer is the way to go. We have pulled that move twice now. Were the tow straps breaking or not enough pulling force?

dood, If I were you I would be sleeping in the thing. That is if your worried about stuff mysteriously disappearing off of your rig. If its not too bad, break out the shovel and start diggin. My buddy buried his bronco in some mud that literally snuck up on him. We were in a drought and it was probably the only mud in the entire county. 4-5 hours later after digging and pulling we got it out.

Not sure this is of any help but;

I fell in a hole through some ice and had
to use boards from a construction site to
wedge my way out. Maybe if the mud dries to a thicker consistancy or some stones under for support. Good luck !

wow, that sucks. i would def. be sleeping in it... especially if you have a stereo system in it.... sounds like you are REALLY stuck. did you have to climb out the windows?? what did you try? did you get some boards or something? did you try and lift it up and fill in the holes? you might have to get a pro. tower... but that costs $$ well good luck, and let us know how you get out!

Yeah, that is good that you got out, I am glad to hear that. 200 bucks isn't bad for saving a $20,000 or so 4Runner!! :fireman:

thanks for all the concern. when i cleaned everything up, there looked to be no damage. although, the left front wheel squeals like getting slaughtered. thinking it may be because of mud trapped in the break somehow, i took off the wheel and washed it out. it is still there though. any advice?>
