I was never stuck. At one point (not on these ruts) I did bury it in another mud pit, but never got stuck.
By the way, I am going to Moab this September, and trust me mud ruts dont excite me. This wasn't an offroad expedition for me, this was more a 'wow I found a rough trail thats fun to fart around on for a few hours and see where it goes'.
I did scrape almost the entire way down in that mud rut, but yes I know its looked down on here and not considered to be real wheeling. Hell I don't consider it to be real wheeling, like I said I was just having fun and thought I would take a few pictures to share some light hearted fun.
You could take a Jeep Liberty to the places I went today, but bottom line I had a blast going thru standing water and mud pits and slinging mud everywhere, and when you boil it all down, thats what its all about right? Having fun
Oh, and no winch needed. hhehe
When are you guys going to Moab? I am heading out sometime in September.
