    Default OT: chevy 4x4 rental

    went to a party sat out in the boonies, kids dose doughnuts in dakota and throws belt, takes it to the dealer and the give hima a loner, a nice new chevy 4x4, he got the optional insurance and called us the next day,
    we did doughnuts and whatever else and for the final task we take on a 20 foot swamp at 25ish mph. we made it through and stoped on the other side. the other side is where we got stuck, heres the pics






    in the end, we pushed it back and then to prove it could be done, blasted back through our ruts. in the end heres what it looked like

    That's not too bad, my friend and I were ****in around in his Chevy Aveo rental and we blew the transmission. I felt so scummy returning it, but we didn't beat on it too hard for it to break so easily.

    I used to do that every weekend in my 94 Pathfinder... it was solid believe it or not, I had the thing airborne many times in dunes!

    I spent a month wandering arround in Arizona on vacation about 20 years ago and found a brochure in a ranger station on desert survival. My favorite quote from it was;
    "all 4 wheel drive means is that you can get stuck in worse places"

    And it had a cartoon drawing of a tow truck wired to another tow truck that was wiring a jeep up out of a gulley.

    $hit....that looks like my work truck, only 15 years newer. Get a degree in Forestry and you can do that almost every day. When you get that far in you unload the quad (ATV), call someone to pull you out at the end of the day, and get back to work.

    Only problem is, it gets old

    Looks like you had fun,
