Classic, I've had to do that before, haha, not in the jeep though, it's got an autotragic.

ok i got a good one.. 3 weeks prior to being stranded i was hit fairly hard while parked at a gas station .. insurance covered it so off it went to the body shop.. the day i picked it up i was headed north a couple of hours later 4 hrs down the hiway another hour into the bush.. 45 mins by canoe to the camp.. camped 3 days in the rain when we packed up the jeep was dead ..( battery killed at body shop? ) soooo we walked 12 1/2 miles in the rain out to the nearest lake with a cottage with a phone cuz the cell phones dont work up there... so the tow truck guy says his trucks were out but he could get me with his own vehicle, i asked him what he was driving and he said " you got back there with your jeep didnt you ?" i said ok bring it on. my jeep at the time was sittin on a 6.5 in lift and 33's.. 45 mins later he picks us up in his stock chev trail blazer.. he banged and crashed his way back to the jeep i thought for sure he was gonna tear the bottom off his truck.. anyway we hooked up the jumper cables and it fired right away.. so then i ask him how much do i owe you ? he says 50 bucks.. i gave him 75 cuz its all i had on me.. i then follewed him out just to make sure he made it out .. drove home and bought a new battery.. .. lesson learned i now carry a spare battery when i go back there....
