Took the Dodge through some good mud today, UPDATED FASTER VIDEOS!

If you only watch one...make it #4!

UPDATE! I'M PUTTING THEM ON YOUTUBE NOW!

Pay attention to where you can hear the exhaust, it drowns out, then you can hear it again. :lol: :lol: :blam:

I REALLY need to get this Bronco going!!! I got my driveshaft today, and the hubs are on the way.

On #4, it doesn't look like the front wheels are really turning...but I was in 4LO, in 1st gear, so it was super granny gear...I don't think I'd have made it through that if all 4 wheels weren't turning.

i don't know what you are talking aobut, it's always fun to pull a 7000 lb vehicle out, especially when you're surrounded by jeeps. last time when i got stuck it took 3 jeeps pulling together to get me out.

I second the notion of it being a PITA to get unstuck. Me and my dad were hauling a 20' trailer w/ 2 36 Chevy's on the back. We had to drop them off in the middle of this meadow. We got down there, unloaded the cars and were making our way out when all of a sudeen, boom. The truck just sunk to the bottom of the field. We had mud past the running boards and up to the rocker panels.

We had, tree branches behind the tires, 2x4's, peices of rock. You name it and it was back there trying to catch traction to no avail. Mind you this all took place on New Years Day. We finally found a guy working down the road on some water pipes w/ a huge dozer. We hooked a chain to this bucket, and the other end to the 2 front hooks on the truck near the grill. Needless to say he had to use 4lo to get us out, and he was still slipping.

If he wasn't there we would of had to dig the truck out in the Spring time.

Wow definitely doesn't sound fun to get this pig unstuck! I'm pretty lucky I made it through...I didn't know I'd sink so far down.

Here's a couple screenshots.
