HELP! IM STUCK =(
Okay, so today I wheeled in my buddies farm and woods and went to pass a deep, thick, gooshy mud pit but slid right into it. My front right wheel, and back right wheel are both half way in. But both left wheels are out. Me and two freinds tried to dig it out and still didn't work. Then my freinds Z71 2500 silverado tried pulling me out (no success), then my other freind tried with his lifted TJ with 33's (no success). And its been sitting in there since 1:00 today...
WHAT SHOULD I DO????
Would sand help??
Fire department??
Tow truck (even though i have no money)??
Any input helps...THANKS in advance

They will help depending on who you know im sure. and how hard it is to get where your at. Im not sure on what your town is like but mine is really small so it depends on who you know. if you dont know anybody there i wouldnt call them. it would be more expensive that a wrecker. I would try boards 2x6 if you have any. and add sand if you can.

Call a tow company and get one who has a good winch to come out and winch your **** out..You must be pretty darn stuck is a fullsize or a a wrangler can't pull you out..and if you are that stuck you need a winch and most tow trucks have winches..

Can you pull from both front and rear? Or are your tow points limited to rear?
I have SO MANY EXPERIENCES like this. What i normally would do is just winch myself out but before i had a winch i had to improvise to get it out. In a situation like that, i would get strong flat boards, a jack (or hi-jack), couple stow straps, and another vehicle. I would attach the strap to my tow point and attach it to the other vehicle which is parked to the side, on top of the hill that i slid into (im horizontal in the mud, and he's on my side facing me and we create a "I_" (I am the "I" and other vehicle is " _ ". The rig backs up just enough so the the strap is tight and holding the vehicle. Then i attempt to place boards under my axle or bumper and jack up the stuck side, or as close to the stuck side as i can get, and then once the tire is in the air, i place boards, sand, stones, or whatever i can find under the tires. While i'm doing this, the truck i'm strapped to keeps the jeep from sliding off the jack and into the goo. Lower the jeep and then allow other truck to attemp to pull you out while you gun it and let the mud fly. Whatever you shoved under the tires keeps it from sinking again, and hopefully you placed more stuff in front and rear of the tires so it has a path to follow out of the mud, or else you will be repeating this method a few times till you reach dry ground.
If that fails, i just go get a come-a-long and start using my muscles to winch the rig out. I did this once on a 78 Ford F-150 on 33's. You know those trucks are heavy and a simple come-a-long from the neighboring farmer yanked it out. It was alot of cranking, but it came out
