I was toodlin around the woods near where I am staying until the dorms open up and saw that looked like a nice grassy area to turn around in. Turned out to be 100% swamp.







The ruts from getting my buddy's Explorer sport trac out of wet dirt.


The ruts a real 2wd makes until the front wheels dragging stops you.


See the grass at the top of that picture? That is what that whole area looked like before I got into it and sank.

What we called to get us out

 

Nice job!

 

haha good one man. I hope that that girl is the one driving the lifted Chevy.

 

Nah, it's the tall dude's truck. When it comes to full sized trucks I am a GM person. For mini's nothing beats Ford and Toyota.

That Z71 has 3" of body, 4" of suspension, 38" Mudd Grapplers...and no LSD. He wants another 3" of lift...I told him better diffs will give him a lot more. He was spinning one front and one rear the whole time he was trying to just pull me out. 2wd wouldnt even budge me. The tires are nearing the end of their off road life. He had to pull the explorer the majority of the way back to the road. lmao

 

nice work man

 

Nice pics man gotta love those surprise sinkholes.

 

good way to test your 4x4

 

Nice. I get a good laugh outta lifted guys on 35's+ with open diffs..my boss recently burried his lifted f250 on 35's and had to get yanked out by a cherokee locked on 235/75/15's...LOL

 

WOW were digging thru the archives again I see

 

See? It just goes to show everybody that you don't need 9,000 inches of lift and 400 inch tires.

 

holy old thread but still fun to read

 

ill agree with this statement all day long

 

exactly!

 

i like that chevy

 

Hey! i'm looking at doing about 9,000 inches of lift on some 385 inch tires, will that look okay?

Thanks......

 

NO! You need 9,052 inches of lift and 379 inch tires.

Thats the only way it will work..........No other way to do it

 

still depends on the use and the driver.

 

mud grapplers? looks like tsl ssr's to me. not bad for a chevy......i guess. lol

 

wow, ******* embarrasing. that's why I just stick to the dry stuff and don't pretend my truck is anything that it isn't.

 

oh okay, well i just decided that i'd SAS with dually axles front and back on 49" IROCS. ya know? just keep it simple............. haha

 

haha, nice one
