I went wheeling (in the tamest sense of the word) this year early spring, with a friend in the pass. side.

Traveling on an off shoot of Stud Mill rd, and came upon a larger snow patch. Decided to go through it. High centered , no cell service, no tow points. Dug it out and rocked it out.

Point is, dont wheel alone, and if you must have a good backup plan.
Good luck with being pulled out.

It might be a touchy subject but, Joplin Missouri? How you guys recovering out there? You seem to be up and going about your day, Jeep and all. I take it you were in a part of town that was not hit?

Well I was really close. Like a mile or so away. My dad and lil Sis was in the walmart that got leveled. She got a couple cuts on her wrist but she is ok. My work got the building Half torn away. Here r some pics of it. One is a neighborhood, one is walmart, one is my dads new truck that he got in November. But it's all going good now. They got a new truck, sisters wrist is heeled. Just rebuilding the ol home town.

ugh glad you all made it out pretty much unscaved.. Alot weren't so lucky. When your all rebuilt and you have a few extra bucks laying around make sure you chase down a winch and some lockers (Just not for the D35 if thats what you got). Wheeling alone is never any good as you found out.. I found out a few winters back how that works out, but in the end help only a phone call away is always good news as you found out as well..

Yeah u got that right, I do have that dang d35 but I'm still building and looking for parts, just hard to come by, but I get a wild hair and wanna go wheelin at night and that is never good alone. But where I was u could have drove a car 2 ft beside me lol. I just thought it looked more fun to go thru the ruts. That lasted bout ten mins. But I did find out that I need to replace my hub/wheel bearing on the driver side and the u joint at the wheel to. Fun for me tonight.
