Bogged!
Re: Bogged!
That don't look so good! I just got my truck stuck in some snow...spent an hour trying out my "rescue equipment" and found out I didn't really know what I was doing....70 feet to a tree and I forgot I had a 35 foot steel cable to use...so I was pulling on a lot of stretchable nylon. Also need to use the extra pulley with my truck on the hand winch...single pulley really wouldn't move it much.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Re: Bogged!
Followed a friend who was on a 4wheeler...lesson learned, dont follow the 4wheelers. I got hi-sided twice. Wheels where in the ruts from the trucks, front crossmember and rear axle keeping me from getting traction. Took two huge arti-cats to pull me out.
And then I promptly got stuck again... If the picture below isnt showing up, it means facebook is being stupid.

Re: Bogged!
I wouldn't try that with my truck...let alone the wagon. I know they say..."drive in the ruts"...but I'd have gone to the right over the grass in LO and at maybe 2K rpm.

Re: Bogged!
how about this, my driveway after the great Seattle snow storm of Dec 2008.

digging out and trying to put a jack under it to switch to my studded snow tires

Re: Bogged!
Hey Petros, that reminds me of the time I snowboarded over a bmw in a french mountain town that had been snowed in... I seriously didn't realise it was there. It's funny how recognisable the Terc is even with a foot of snow!
BTW. I don't think I've ever been bogged in my Terc.. not trying hard enough probably
