Ok guys heres my story:

I took the rig off roading friday night. Up in Cleveland National Forest here in Corona. While going up a hill ( that seemed to be used to Dirt Bike jumps), I change my mind about going up, about half way up. And I proceeded to put the rig in reverse. The rig rolled back a couple of feet and then kept slinding side ways... Into a really muddy patch ... Tried to put it in 4Lo + TC2 + rear Lock. And all I did was get stuck deeper and deeper...

Worst thing was it was 11:30pm at night. I hopped out of the H2 to look at my situation. And as soon as I saw how low the rear end was ... I already know how F#@K I was ... So I went back in the H2 and hit the OnStar. And yes it was raining. They answer and I gave them my LAT and LONG ... And they called around for different tow truck companies to winch me out. Pretty much at 12:30am I was told your screwed. Until the mud drys up. Because it was at a dirt road there was no tow truck that would go out there to get me...

Call my buddy, who live 2 blocks away from me ... He came up with his TACO and we proceeded to try to dig me out... First we laid down wood after digging some holes to get down to the bottom of the tires. Then we air the BFG's down, to practically nothing. he hooked up his TACO to my rig with a chain and we straight busted the chain... Then some people stop and tried to help us out... We tried to pull with the TACO and 9 people pushed... Nothing....

At about 2:30am we called it quits... I called around some tow truck companies and found Hamner Towing ... They told me $125.00 + 10% fuel charged... Hamner came out picked me up at my house which was a few blocks away from the road I was stuck in ... The winched me out and I got to look at how deep of a hole I really was in... The front passenger tire was in soo deep that The mud was touching the top of my front fender wells... And Because of that my passenger side steps was FUBAR'ed ...

After 8 hours of using my neighbors pressure washer... I got pretty much all the mud out of the H2 and out of my drive way... I learn a lot of lessons out of this... 1) dont go off roading at night 2) dont go alone 3) get better tires 4) air them suckers down before 5) found new respect for off roaders...


p.s. anyone have chrome side steps for sale ????
