Back in the 90's I was driving around  one night in my 2WD S-10 pickup and remember a friend of mine told me about this big hill to go down and that there was  another way to get out, so I went to check it out by myself. I started to go down the hill but changed my mind, well when I put it in reverse the truck would not go backward so I said what the heck I'll get out the other way when I get down to the bottom. I'm at the bottom and don't see no other trail, so I tryed to go back up the hill, got about 50 feet up then I started sliding off the trail, this was a pretty steep incline with  Winters Run Creek not far from the bottom. I just sat in my truck with my foot pressed hard on the brake pedal with the truck inching its way backward, this is when I start freaking out. When the truck came to rest at the bottom ( not in the creek ) I was able to get back to the trail. Other than a less traveled road on the other side of the creek I was where nobody could see me. I remember blowing my horn and swiching my lights on and off hoping somebody would see me. Well I stayed with my truck for the remander of the night, then in the morning I walked home about 5 to 7 miles to see if one of my friends could get me out. We got my next door neighbors Farmall and went to the big hill with snatch blocks and several hundred feet of rope. At first we didn't have enough rope so my friend started to back down the hill in the Farmall, the tracter started picking up speed and I thought for sure he was going to end up at the bottom of the hill with me. He was finally able to stop the tractor thank god. I thought for sure he was a goner. Well with alot of stoping and redoing the rope we finally got my truck to the top of the hill and I never tryed that hill again even with a 4x4.

My worst one was in a 78 bronco.  We exploring some new places to wheel and found what used to be an old dump. We came over a hill to see ruts going through a big cat tail patch. It looked innocent enough so we hammered on it. We got about half way and started to realize that crappy 35's just were not enough.  The truck made it a little further when rotton ford inginuity killed us. On the big block the distributer is in the front and the fan threw water on it and she died.  A basically stock f-150 jerked on us until he broke his truck. An 86 chevy came to the rescue. His first jerk would have got us out but the drunk only had it in 2 wheel drive. He jerked until the chain snapped and took out his tail gate.  The next morning we went out, got it started and used the redline to eventually get out.  We tried it again but with the cap water proofed and with a good run at it.  

    My worst stuck ever was last summer in a 72 shortbed 4x4 Ford truck my grandpa and I where following my aunt acrossed a small but deep, and swift creek. My aunt made it acrossed easily in here Toyota pickup so we figured we could so we followed her and no kiddin we got stuck. We had not put it in 4 wheel drive cause it was a dirt road on the outher side and it looked easy. So I get out in water that came up to my waste holding on the the grillie guard for dear life as the water was trying up pull me along and turn the hubs in. When I get back in my Grandpa floors it and that was not a good move because it broke the tires loose from the rocks holding us still and the truck is parallel with the creek. So my aunt goes looking for a road to get around us cause there was not another road to get back acrossed the creek. Well she finds a spot in the creek where it gets real wide and drives up the creek to get acrossed (keep in mind she is in a Toy). well she gets over and the has to go all the way back to camp to get some chains to pull us out. When she gets back with the chains it takes maybe 3 minutes and a light tug to pull us to freedom. That is when I discovered and the wheelin' capabilities of a small foreign Truck.  

I was driving my M816 5ton crane wrecker when a call came on the radio that another truck had broken down.  The motor sgt who was riding shotgun told me to turn my rig around and go get the broke truck.  I said, "no problem" and preceeded to whip my 34k lbs truck into the ditch as I had done many times before.  Ofcourse, I had not remembered the fact it had rained and a 34k lbs truck doesn't do well in the mud.  I hadn't even gotten the driver's side tires off the pavement before the passenger side tires were halfway sunk into the mud.  My co-driver was literally standing no the passenger side door.  I knew this truck was going on it's side.  Luckily it did not.  It took another 5ton wrecker MANY attempts to pull me out.  Should have had an tracked tank retriever or a HEMTT wrecker.. but didn't have either available at the moment.  Finally got out with just a bent up bumper..  

in case nobody noticed what i did... almost all of these 'stucks' were fords... coincidence? i think not! chevy runs over the compatition.... BIATCHES!  

My best friend wanted to impress a girl with the offroad capibilitys of his bone stock '96 Z-71 EX-cab. He did really good, for a truck with street radials. Untill he found a swamp and decided to do a few doghnuts. It did not take him long and he was really stuck. Ounce he realised he was stuck he called me and said he needed a tug. I drove out in my daily driver, '98 Z-71. As I aproched his truck I saw he was REALLY sunk, up to the door sills. 

Well I tried to tug him anyway and drove right into some doghnut shaped ruts. My truck was sitting on the frame, all 4 wheels were spinning. And the recovry strap connecting us was streched taught.

It was 2:00 pm on a Saturday so we called his cousin. Stock '00 Searria. He sank in a swampy spot 100' from my truck.

So we called His brother with a '02 2500 Searria HD. His pizza cutter tires cut right threw the sod and he was stranded 30' off the road.

And our last option was to start shoveling. We shoveled for 23 HOURS! We doug out his cousins, his cousins truck pulled me. Both of us pulled out the brother and a 4x4 tractor puled oet my budy.

The next day I bought a winch.

P.S. Even Chevys get stuck... GmBrute...

My worst stuck was in my own yard. I had my 88 gmc work truck in my back yard to move a trailer around. The yard had always been solid untill the rain we had a few days prior. Bad tires,  and no lockers in the axle caused that truck to sink like a rock. Before I could even get anyone over to give me a tug it was sunk to the frame rails.  Called a friend w/ a 4x4, and he started to sink as soon as he pulled in to the yard. There lay the truck 10ft from pavement, but couldn't pull it out because of a fence. Had to call a wrecker to pull the front end out sideways.  $60 to get the truck pulled side onto solid grownd. Later a neighbor informed me that the previous owner of the house filled in a large section of the yard w/ dry wall. The stuff was solid as a rock untill it got wet. Then it turned into quicksand.  

My friend was an unfortunate one to try a notoriosly DEEP mud pit down a minimum maintenance road and his 98 dodge 3/4 ton with 38 inch boggers wasnt enough for it after i freed him once with my 81 chevy with 36 inch tsl's you know there is always the need to try it again and again he did popping the bead off the wheel.... It took a little more persuasion and in the end he had a bent frame a popped tire and a broken back window from a passengers head in the back seat. That was one rough night espessially for the guy in the back seat.

I've got another one for all of you. My friend and I were wheeling in Chesapeake City and  then we came upon this hill that was washed out a little bit in the center and to the right of the hill. I stoped and looked at it for a couple of seconds and wasn't too sure if I wanted to go up it, my friend said go for it, you can make it and I said I know I can make it. Well we got close to the top of the hill and soon as I said we made it we fell into about a four foot hole that was washed out. The truck was leaning so bad I thought we were going to roll. The only tire that was on the ground was the right rear tire. The left side of the bumper was about five foot in the air. We had a hell of a time getting out of the truck. When we got out of the truck to check out the situation that the truck was in my friend was thinking of someone to call to get us out. Before he could fiqure out someone to call I put my two feet inside the left rear wheel and grabbed the side of the bed and my friend pulled down on the bumper and the truck came down to a level positon. He told me to stay where I was and he came over to spot where I was standing to hold down the truck and I hopped in the truck to back it up. It worked and we got out of a bad situation. After we left this hill I went thru a water hole on another trail that stopped me dead in my tracks. I paused for about 30 seconds thinking that I'm stuck, water started coming in thru the door, so I hit reverse and was able to back out. I had about three inches of water in the drivers side floor board. After the first bad stuck, we decided to go home for the night.

Face it GMCbrute, every truck gets stuck sooner or later. Don't be ashamed to admit it.

i had my 98 dodge 3/4 ton for only 2 months at the time and hadnt done anything to it yet(still bare bone stock).  i had took 4wheeling before with no problems the first day i got it.  so 2 months later i was a little bored and decided to got back to the same spot again BY MYSELF! (1 slap).  STREET TIRES (2 slap) and last, NO RECOVERY GEAR (3 slaps to the face).  any way i was doing fine thinking that nothing had changed until the last and biggest hole.  40 yards of mud and water 3 feet deep.  made it before so why not.  as it turns out trucks with at least 38s had been tearing up the ruts for the past 2 mouths which put me on both diffs in seconds.  so after a few hours of staring i started the walk of shame 10 miles home.  the next day a friends from work came with a dodge 1500 with 35s and a jeep withs 31s.  come to find out the dodge lost its 4 wheel drive a few days earlier we where left with the jeep which then flooded out the engine a 1/2 mile away from my trucks location.  so it took another 2 hours of waiting for the jeep to start up and then it some how managed to pull me out.  now on the way home it went through a mud hole to fast whent of the trail and get stuck again.  right before that the jeep flooded out again in the same hole.  after getting help from another friends dodge 1500 with working 4 wheel drive he pulled out and the we waited another 2 hours until the jeep managed to start up again.  finally after starting at 9:00am we where home at 5:00pm.  cool thing about it was it was a work day and we still got payed for it !!!!  

If you aren't getting stuck, your not pushing the truck hard enough... no stick is that bad when you have a warn hangin off the front.  

I went through this muddy hole and made it through the first time and turned around because there were only cat tails and a pond so I had to go through it again to get out and what do you know I took the wrong line and got stuck. My friend and I were stuck for hours. One of the bad things about it was it was in the summer time and the mosquitoes from the pond were biting the *** out of us. We sat in the truck with the radio on and could still hear the mosquitoes out side, it was that bad. Thanks to my dumbass I had no shovel, and no hi-lift jack. My friend did put his tiny flat front shovel and thick rope in the back, but trying to dig with his shovel was pretty much worthless. He was able to get ahold of his brother at work on his cell phone. His brother left his work early and drove about an hour to come get us out. I tryed to give his brother money to get us out and to this day still won't take my money. For a person to leave his job and to miss out on making money to help out me and his brother, thumbs up to him. If he ever needs my help I will be there for him also.

Cool story dude!  Those HEMTT wreckers kick some ass don't they ? What's your opinion on Mil Hummers and off-road / mud conditions ?

It's a known fact to most Chevy folks. When you go muddin with your bud's make damn sure someone has a chevy 4X4 to get the fords out with. Common knowledge dude - same differnece between *** and shine-ola.
