Finally got stuck in the mud

[ScottBeach]

Took my son in law for his first jeep trail outing. Of course I got stuck for the first time and he recovered me. Took a couple hours but he was able to drag me out

I hate mud!! I have been stuck plenty of times and probably will again but I still hate mud. I am glad you had fun

Truck is too clean, your entry speed was too low… that Jeep should look like it’s one with the trail… lol.

Yup.
Gotta get that momentum up so the mud splashes over the roof.
At least the hood.
Helps keep you from digging in and getting stuck.

So. That pick was after it sat an hour in the rain. I had the speed. Made another run ok. I guess we can't share vid here. All good times and nothing broken.

You can, but I think you have to upload to youtube first.

The only people who have never been stuck are the ones that never leave the paved road. I have been driving off road for 50 years, I have been stuck in every possible situation. It's all part of the game. Some time try getting a M60 unstuck.

Might be a little heavier than a M548; some of us go off-road, been lucky enough to not get stuck ( after learning a few lessons from others ), and don’t see any benefits for aiming for the deep mud holes. It’s like a contest for eating super spicy food, even if you win, you really don’t win. ;-)

Sometimes there isn't any other way.

Just feels silly when I have hit the same hole many times in the past 3 years. Even the prior friday. Still a lot.of fun. And now I want a little lift. Future plans

I avoid the mud when at all possible….

I am not new to getting stuck…. I swear I have turtled out on more things and places than I would like to admit….

I should have taken pics of the inside. Having to climb in from the right over the console in mud left a real mess. Looking forward to Saturday to do it again

Me too. Mud is tough on vehicles, and I'm mechanically sympathetic. First thing I thought when I saw the OP's picture was that the front axle tubes got filled up with that nasty muddy mess, and it flowed in around the axle seals as well as the front pinion seal - yuck.

The worst I have ever stuck a wheeled vehicle was my F250 about 15 years back. Had a hole on hunting property was always full of water but had a hard bottom. I was showing a new member around and I told him this looks worse than it is, let the front end drop off and give it some gas and it will hop right out. Of course I dropped in ended with the front bumper against the front wall and the rear bumper against the back bank. Later found out a dually pulling a bobcat had tore up the bottom that was not fun.

Fair point. I have a service scheduled for next week to drain and fill. I am just past 50k and due.
