JRLZ71 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 There's nothing like pulling a Ford out of mud hole! Some guy decided to take a stroll through a pasture by my house and got stuck, so being the nice person I am, I pulled him out. Any of you have any stories of pulling other big name pickups out?
hockeypro1411 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 For some reason I usually find Fords in the snow.. Here's one and a Jeep that tried to hit the mud though.. What we roll up to.. Gettin' hooked up... Got the Ford... Glamor shot.. The stupid ford kept getting stuck trying to get back to the road so my buddy (other Chevy) just hooked up to him and pulled (dragged) him all the way to the road. There was a solid 2 inches of mud caked on the Ford The rest of the pictures I have are of me pulling out a GMC so we'll keep those hush hush.
wierdo124 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I love pulling people outta the snow in the Silverado. I do $20 a pop, because usually they're in a ditch, which most trucks couldn't pull them out of anyway. Half price for GMs but the reason it's so easy for me to pull them out is because i've got an 800 pound plow on the front. If they're in the ditch, i just drive to the edge of the road, drop the plow, hook the plow to something really solid on their truck, raise the plow (ie: lifting one end of their truck completely up) then back up. My front wheels have no problem getting traction when i've got the weight of a plow, plus one end of a truck on them
Mcguinness Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 NIce post Hockey pro 1411 I love seeing some real mud action like that. It looks like you guy"s showed up at the right time or..... Do you hang out waiting for fools to get stuck
gregrocks89 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 man that sure does look like fun! i was out mudding out one day with the truck with some buds and some brews and stumbled across a quad barried up to the racks. i pulled him out with the truck haha
MarkD Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Seriously!with the tires the Ford had, he didn't stand a chance!
Z71Adrenaline Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Seriously!with the tires the Ford had, he didn't stand a chance! Agreed! Tires and skill are the two biggest factors in how well one does in the slick stuff (or any non-paved terrain, for that matter). The brand of your equipment is really not that important!

The brand of your equipment is really not that important! Agreed I don't know. The GM Trucks seem like they can go almost anywhere for some reason. Ive taken mine through a field with pretty deep snow, and the only problem I had was my front end plowing. An F-150 that bodystyle in the pic above tried it and spun the whole time before backing out onto the road again. I agree tires have alot to do with it but there is something about how GM has their 4wd system because these trucks will go.
Z71Adrenaline Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 The locking rear-end is probably one of the biggest helps in your situation. Most Ford trucks have limited-slips and open rearends (with exception of the FX4s that have electronic lockers), and that definitely helps with the forward motion!
JRLZ71 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Yeah, I think the locking diff is awesome! I don't think it's all about 4 wheel drive though because I've seen plenty of guys with 2 wheel drive trucks that could go through some nasty stuff that guys in 4 wheel drives couldn't. It's all about how well you can drive

Do you hang out waiting for fools to get stuck Haha no, I got a phone call that started with "Hey man, how are ya? Do you wanna go muddin'? Ok sweet, come meet us in the middle of nowhere.." So I shot my other Chevy buddy a call just in case more ponies were needed. We're all friends so we just help eachother out for a couple beers or dinner. Which, if you look at me and the driver of the other Chevy, usually isn't cheap. Especialy when it's raining and takes a half hour to find these clowns..
