Awhile back someone posteda some pics of vehicles in some serious stuckage. They were funny one actually brought back some memories of an actual situation I was part of. I'd love to see some of your stuck pics so post them here.

These aren’t really too seriously stuck but enough were I couldn’t get out without the help of a winch. Heavy truck and wet adobe is a good recipe for stuckage...even the brand new 36” Super Swampers were of little use. Stuck 1 Stuck 2

I wouldn't want that claenup job. I would enjoy the fishing trip.

Thanks speedy. The paint is 1998 Pontiac Montana Quasar Blue. Not that I worship mini-van paint or anything it was just a color that had more flare but not enough difference from my old paint where I would have had to paint the door jambs and interior.

My only stuck that would be partly intersting would be the one in my Bronco, I am not sure how to just put the pic on here, but it is under my bronco link below (2nd page, dead center, ruts in next picture)

I agree with speedy, that blue is nice, a friend of mine has a 74 GMC that looked almost that blue, he is in the process of painting it right now so it is good ol' primer grey...

That truck hanging off the cliff, man that woudl make me mess myself, my dad tows a boat alot like that, a 21' renken cuddy cabin on a tandem axle trailor, with his '00 Z71, no problems either.

I love looking at stuck pics, keep 'um coming :thumb:

I remember seeing that boat with hanging truck picture. I think it is named "Great Tow Hitch"

I agree with Tom great fun seeing the stuck of the month pics.

Thanks

Here are a few more stuck pictures…pretty mellow but real world photos.

My buddy’s Jeep 1974 J20 high centered on a big log on top of Greenhorn Mountain in Southern Colorado. The pictures really don’t look too back but those are 35” tires spinning freely in the air and we were on the edges of a semi frozen pond that we were starting to sink into. I never could pull him forward because I would have had to drive further out in the pond so we ended up using a highlift jack on the front to raise the wheels high enough to for me to yank him over the log backwards

Did the guy break any U-Joints or anything from being in that position on the log? (Surprised if he didn't)

HillHound · March 23, 2003

Here's another one I already had uploaded and posted a while back. Not a truck/Jeep but it's me stuck in a mudhole last year on my Kodiak. The water was deeper than it looked and the front end buried itself! Almost tipped it over.

Dude did you get your blue jeans dirty?

No…nothing got broke.

Other than the fact that AMC put the leaf springs on the wrong side of the front axle causing a lot of high centering problems this old truck never ceases to amaze me with its off road performance….usually he is the one pulling me out of a jamb mainly because he has a winch, a lincoln locked rear end and more balls than a bowling alley. My buddy actually drives it like it is a 50-dollar gas powered weed wacker too. (The truck is set up with hand controls as my buddy is in a wheel chair.) It took 15 minutes of him burning holes in that log for me to convince him that he would never unstuck himself without help.
