Yeah, I kinda fell into the temptation of just going in one of those water holes. Otherwise it was all dirt roads. Still stuck! My buddy couldn't tug me out. :( five minutes from home.

Ohh I've been there... Could see it from my folks front door, sunk it and filled up the floowboard.. Another time I was with a guy from work and high centered it.. luckily he was the size of paul Bunyon (sp) picked up what looked like a railroad tie and unstuck me.

I can help you out tomorrow morning, if you don't have any luck tonight. Sorry I can't come now. You could try the NJ Jeepers thread in the staging area, maybe somebody lives close by and is online now.

Cool Unstuck! Thanks for offering to help!

I got out, it took an hour, which probably wasn't that bad. Mostly I was worried about facing the wrath of my pregnant wife on her way home from work.

First a Jeep Liberty tried to help Didn't even budge me!

Then my friends Ford Explorer No budge either.

Then we got his father-in-law to help with his Expedition, bingo, but It wasn't easy.





I need to get some more recovery equipment, and satisfy my off-roading urge by going out with some people one here! I must admit, it was fun getting stuck, even though I was worried about breaking something, or leaving my jeep there overnight.

After getting out, I sprayed copious amounts of mud out from under the jeep. Should I change the diff fluid (again ) or do you think I am OK? Is there anything else I should do-other than inspecting things for damage?
