You had to post one with the tow strap hooked to my truck, didn't you?

We need to find some places I can bring my truck to. Either that or you guys can keep pulling me out when my truck gets stuck. I now wish I had a 4x4 and not a 2WD. :(

Just think a brand new Super Duty Ford f250 with 4x4.:judge:

Your truck wouldn't have made it on this trail. I kept getting stuck up to my diffs and had to dig the snow out so I could keep going. When it started to get dark we just strapped my truck and Phil just gave me a tug when I started to get stuck.

Sounds like a great straight axle 4x4 conversion project.

That is more the road I was going but we will see. I am gonna need to come out to your place here some time soon and get my extra 3" a-arm lift put on as well as new ball joints. The list is quite long for fixing up the truck a little bit since it has some years and miles on it now.

When I was in the Oregon Forestry service, many of our firetrucks were 2WD with a posi or locker installed. That with 150-250 gallons of water we used to get the truck in all kinds of places without getting stuck. We did get busted for mud running the trucks once because although we washed the trucks before we returned to the station, we forgot to wash the engine compartment. When our foreman opened the hood, the engine was a block of mud. Our favorite was the 1973 Chevy dually with the 454. Our regular firetruck was a 1967 Ford F500 with a big 6, 5speed and dual range rear end. It carried 650 gallons of water.
