Default f150's just aren't jeeps...

so, my friend told me he was going rabbit hunting. I told him not to drive his f150 down the trail where the dirt road ends because it won't make it through 2 feet of slushy snow and mud underneath. so he decided he would do it anyways. I worked all day so he sat out in the woods all day until i could come pull him out at 3:30 in the afternoon. so he was 4 miles out there( no clue how he made it that far). so I had to pull him backwards every inch of the way. after 2 hours of pulling, we got him out. thats what i wanted to do after a 12 hour shift at work. thats my story of the day.

Well the Super got him the first 2 miles and the Duty got him the other 2 miles but after that he ran out of slogans. Great pics and good job helping a buddy out after a long day like that. you deserve a beer

^x2
If it is 4x4 it must have some really small street tires on it. No more snow than I see in those pics I could probably drive my F150 with Duratracs out without a problem.

it is a 4x4 and it has brand new studded all terrains. the snow was super slushy and muddy underneath. the rear axle and ifs where bottoming out in the snow. the picture doesnt do much justice because this is after I got him out of the woods. but still, i made it our there just fine, i dont no why the truck couldn't go. I have open diffs and studded snow tires so its pretty much the same.
