No doubt as they are different price tag vehicles. For the difference You could pretty much throw in the hemi, get a powerplant and all the skids and bumpers, modify axles etc.. and still be less out of pocket or at least equal. I guess it would of been funny for a suzuki samari to pull up with the powerplant on the front and have him hook up to a tree and winch you out.

No back on topic, looked at the picture and it almost looked like you stuck right in like quicksand so no rocking was going to work.

i have never questioned the ability of H1's/Hmmvvs

The pencil d*cked egotistical super f*#ks in the the blinged out H2's and the "oblivious to the fact that other cars are on the road" H3 driver soccer moms with their cell phones...

Very true. State Property with no "No Trespassing" signs is one thing, but if it is clearly someones personal property then thats messed up. How would you like someone wheeling in your front yard?

Default private property

I was discussing this with the officer after he said that it was private property. There were no signs stating it was private property. There was a fence another 15 feet on the other side of me that looked like a property line. I assumed that the land that we were on was an easment for the road, and the officer agreed. He asked if he wanted me to call a a tow and left. I would not go on someones property and off road.

H1's are incredible machines, no shame in getting pulled out by one. But if it was an h2 or h3 then that is a much different story.

Default Hemi

I don't think I would have gotten stuck If I had a Hemi...

dunno... looking at the picture you took... with a hemi, you would've gotten stuck faster. it looks like you hit a soft spot, sunk and the frame sat on the ground. once that happen, you were just digging mud and once you dug all the mud from around the wheels, you would only be able to spin your wheels. so with a hemi, you could have dug the hole faster and spun your wheels faster, thats about it...

Was the Ford a diesel...if it was a gasser i can see why it may have not pulled you out...could have been some high school kid, with the V10, stock gearing and 37s that though he was cool lollololol.

Yea H1s are cool, but they suck gas like no ones business great for real open terrain but crappy in the jungles etc...

Stop bashing the dude for runnin on someones property, i think he got the point the first time. No need for iterating it to him again.

You're lucky he was reasonable. That said, it still looks like you were blazing a trail (based on the picture).
