No damage to anything, still running strong put 75 miles on it tonight and its all running great, turn signals were a little weird for awhile but its all good now! Time to ditch the carpet! It had litterally just snowed and where we were at you couldnt tell if it was ice our ground, it didnt appear to be an area where there would be too much water... But there was...

It was a fun time. He learned how to get a truck unstuck without calling every person in his phone.

MUCH deeper than anyone expected, all the ice around it was 6 inches max it seemed, just a puddle over the frozen dirt, not the case in that particular spot. It really didnt help that we were 30ft from the edge of a large river that you can see in the pics I think, everything around me was sand, no traction anywhere:-(

Well, today I installed some tow hooks on the front of the Jeep, Im looking into getting a winch, rear locker, and some 31 inch tires. Then I wont have as many issues getting out next time, because I am sure it will happen many times again. |

On a more serious note however, the truck did handle it very well, and I was suprised how capable these rigs actually are in stock form. | |

You didn't rust your muffler bearings did you? and don't forget to have Middas check your hydralic hub caps for leakage if there is leakag you will need to rebuild your numatic coil cooling pack.
