glad i could help! laugh it up, thats why i took the pic

 

That's not to say I didn't feel your pain. Your situation had to cost some real money.

Though, still, the fish caught in the grill.......... It spoke 2,000 words. You had better luck fishing than I have the last 6 times I intentionally tried to catch fish.

 

Offroading & fishing at the same time. Multitasking, you're doing it right!

 

Dumbest thing I did was go wheeling alone at about 3 am along a local river. I was driving out on the frozen beach due to low water levels when what I thought was snow covered beach turned out to be ice over the river.
Drivers front tire was completely under and I was going nowhere fast. Wife was at work with her durango and I could not get ahold of anyone else with a decent 4X4.

Ended up digging for hours and then using the shovel and some random steel cable i had in back under the tires for traction.

Wont ever do that again.

 

Wheeling alone always starts out sounding like a good idea...until it happens.

My story starts on a crisp fall day. I had just installed my budget boost spacer kit and I was eager to wheel it. It had just rained the night before and the Dunes near my house (clay mud hybrid) were saturated and made an unholy slippery surface. At first everything seemed fine, I was kicking up a fair amount of mud, but never felt out of control.

In my fun and bliss, I managed to "rimrock" myself at the bottom of a gully. I couldn't go back the way I came because the road was too steep in wet clay. I couldn't continue down because of the small wash that had been carved out from erosion.

Eventually I decided it would be better to cross the wash and head up a less steep hill on the opposite side. Bad idea...I eased my drivers side tire into the wash first. It literally slide in and disappeared into the slop. The momentum also pulled the passenger side tire into the muck as well, though not as deep. I frantically threw the Jeep reverse, but managed to dig myself in deeper... I was going no where. No winch, nothing to hook my come-along to and no one nearby to help. Eventually with plenty of effort and tons of junk I found laying around I was able to free myself (3 hours later). Last time I went wheeling alone, or to the Dunes after a rainstorm!

 

Bump

There's got to be more stories out there?!

 

Left my 89 unlocked at night and it got stolen (would have happened anyway though).

 

that's by far the funniest wheeling story i've ever heard. and i've seen a guy hang his truck upside down on a tree.

 

Pics or Ban!!!

 

 

Uh, wait.......is that a NOS tank?

 

After a heavy rain i took a right doing 35 and punched it, found out that a cherokee drifts pretty well with an open diff, it was stupid but fun, so it kind of leveled out the stupid with the fun

 

That sounds awsome, park in the middle of the river and sit on the roof and there you have it, no one taking your spot when you fish and if your really crazy about it tie a fishing net to the undercarage and your tripple tasking

 

Did this before the lift.
Floored it and poped the clutch.
Next pick up rear shaft that flew across the road.
Put it in 4wd and back it into the driveway with both rear wheels sunk in the wheel wells.
Turned out I busted both leafs completly in half but the d35 never broke. lol

 

In the least to greatest order...

Went wheelin alone with a bad starter relay before I could really drive stick. Ended up stalling in the mud with no way to get out or starting the truck back up. Had to wait for a few hours for a friend to come help me. Nothing like swapping relays well laying the muck.

Stupidly took my old trail rig with no heat out to the local quarries in the winter and got her stuck. My winch line snapped trying to pull myself out in a straight pull, nobody else had a winch/proper tow points/ or had a big enough truck to get me out. Nothing beats sitting in below freezing temperatures stuck with no means of getting out. Ended up using a high light to light the front end off the rocks, then wrapping my broken winch line around a tree branch about 10ft up well getting pulled forward by a stock Xj. Surprising how stupid methods like that can get you out of a jam.

Wheeled a unfamiliar trail with my club, went over the edge of rock and rolled twice down a steep hill, ended up resting right side up on a rock wall. Ripped out my front axle, and pulled the passengers seat mount through the floor I feel like that would have killed my wife if she wasn't wearing her harness. Moral of that story, wear your seat belt, and don't do any hardcore wheelin when you have no idea were your going.

Finally...I spray painted super cool stripes on my Comanche...yeah
