BAHHHH.. so.. i went to get the pic i took on my old phone (just got a new android) cuz i didn't want to get mud/scratches on the new screen.. Anyway, went to turn the phone on and nada. i kinda dropped it in the mud, but didnt think it got that wet, haha.. So, i went to take the SD card out (where the pic shoulda saved) and it musta saved to the phone.. so pissed.. it was pretty awesome looking stuck.
ill go back and take pics of the area later today.
for the meantime, heres some pics i took after i got home with the new phone.. pardon the edits and borders..

was using photoshop express to play with the pics.. the pic of the rear end is just showing the area where i attached the chain. right in that opening to the left of the spare was where i hooked it up. the mud/water was up to bottom of the sway bar.

i will be getting a hitch, with a hook and some hooks for the front. (thought about a winch, but theres nothing to winch to out here in the desert) maybe pickup the backbone system when i move back to MI.
the tires i have on here are not stock, but they aren't real good for mud either (not like the tires woulda helped my whimpy 4x2 anyway) but they are the kumho KL78 road ventures. you can see them in the pic above ^^^^
I WILL keep my HD camera in the car 24/7 from now on in case something like this happens again.
I will also get some 2"x6's, a BFH, tow strap and the hooks before i do anything like this again..









in retrospect, it was pretty fun getting stuck, but i was panicking at the time..
