That Bullydog stuff is your problem. If you had a Quadzilla sticker instead, you would have gotten out.

If he had a Smarty sticker, the truck would have grown wings and flew out of the hole to the nearest bucket of soap and water and cleaned itself

Forget the sticker, all that was needed was a jackall. Jack it up and push it off the jack to one side.

That is either a lot of shoveling or go get the tractor time.



And your right we needed the rain and still need more.

Reminds me of spring time in Iowa when the frost is going out. Been there. Looks like you need the tractor and a long chain.

She is on the rails for sure. Looks like it sank, you didn't bury it by spinning tires. Close to a spring or on the downhill side of a tank?

What pulled it out and post some pics of the ruts!

When I was up on Ft. Mcmurray, across the road from where I was staying, a 3rd gen QC/LB 3500 DRW with a welding skid in the back did the same thing in the muskeg. It just dropped and it was over. Guy wandered across the road, I agreed to give him a pull out. I didn't even make it to 30' to him before I was stuck. A friend with an 05 on 37's ended up coming to rescue the two of us. Mine was an easy pull. The 3500 took some real good yanks. Had 20' of sling, the rooster tails were going 20' past the truck that was getting towed out. The whole front of his truck was mud.

How did that happen?! Your runnin those Rugged Trail tires...should have been no problem!

I got stuck in 4" of snow in 2wd and barely made it out in 4wd with those tires. I wish they would wear out soon so I can get something better.
