Poor pictures, but a cool "Oops" none-the-less. Mike took his KJ down a steep hill with only ATs and kept losing traction on the way back up. I got a chance to use my hitch mounted winch from the rear while the front was tied off to a tree.

There's about a 5' deep mud/water hole in front of the kj and about 10' of real estate behind the kj to work with... both front tires were dangling over the water pit, and the rear tires were both stuck in a slick rut... That was an interesting afternoon getting out of that mess

At the cliffs...
FL Wheel is buried ( they are 36" swampers ), drag link/steering got bent to hell while trying to recover, then the overheating started... :-)r

I love this contest. My "stuck" doesn't compare to any of these... but fun to see others stuck (and get out). Keep going!

PS: Fulltimer! Thank you for being one of the first I have ever seen to NOT mount their baskets all the way back. It just looks silly. Forward thinking, for sure

Not all that carnage-y, but still a pretty dramatic rip in bugnout's MTR after only one muddy hill. Really sharp Tennessee mud

<edit> Quick, Scott, repost this as your own! I forgot I can't post pictures of someone else's jeep

Was so deep on this one I had to climb out the sunroof to help hook up the winch

So there was this puddle, right? Full steam ahead, but it was just too deep.

I opened my door to about 1/2'' of clearance from the swamp.

So, naturally, I reversed outta there. My buddy declared his 7.3L F250 FX4 could handle it, but he just ended up sinking his 7,000lb truck.

So I pulled him out.

Let it be known that a 4,000lb 3.7L just pulled out a 7500lb 7.3L unassisted. JEEP!

Well, by my count, there is one spot left!!!
