So Oklahoma has been getting some rain daily for the past 3-5 days.. and living in the country my drive way and the county roads are a mess. This morning I am up getting ready for work and hear the loud roaring noise. I look outside to see my neighbors (and in-laws) stuck in the driveway. Now... they aren't driving a car... or a little truck.. or even a four wheel drive. Nope.. It's a 3/4 ton Chevy Conversion van, stuck upto the rear axle in mud. I hooked up the Jeep and it pulled like it's life depended on it. Popped that 7,000lbs+ van out of the mud.

That is not too surprizing. I have pulled dual wheeled pick ups out while they were loaded.
