Went Offroading - 7/8/2008 7:40:56 PM    WolfPack Posts: 2783 Joined: 10/30/2007 From: Raleigh, NC Status: offline I went offroading today...thought I would play around with the 4wd and make sure it all works .  Also wanted to see what it was like to go wheelin'''' WITH NO TIRE RUB thanks to the body lift I just put on . I went on a couple bulldozer trails, played in the dirt, and just had a fun time.  Nothing too hard since I was by myself. This is an early pic but it gives you an idea of where I was and what I was driving on: Then on my way out, I decided I would drop down this hill and cut through some dirt just to play with the 4lo on the hills.  Big mistake.  I dropped down the slope fine, but no sooner had it leveled out...that my front end sunk. Nothing even that tough I tried rocking and turning and everything...still stuck.  All I did was fill the valence and front end parts with mud. So thankfully this guy Mark came by and helped me out.  He got his buddy Justin with a Wrangler on 33s with a winch to get me out....funny thing was...the Jeep wasn''''t strong enough to get me.  So Mark went back and got his Z71 Tahoe and yanked me out after we dug down under the frame, wheels, and front end. The Tahoe just kinda wrangled me up the hill...it was a fun ride And a couple of pics back on pavement And to give you and idea of the slope/mud/my afternoon, the little bro got a video of the aftermath on YouTube. So to recap:  Remember there were 4 days of straight rain before diving into a low area...have a big truck on speed dial...anndd carry a shovel Edit: fixed video link. < Message edited by WolfPack -- 7/8/2008 7:53:24 PM > _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL Post #: 1
