Needs more cow bell...or Mud Grapplers...:naughty:
lol that thing is sitting on the frame... .its not goin anywhere, no matter what tires. or how much cowbell
Epic fail... makes me happy I crossed over from the jeep world to the VX world :yesb:
The jeep police came by moments later & repo'd the "trail rated" badge...:slap:
On the one hand I can laugh and generally share in the same sort of anti-jeep sentiment (also when riding my Suzuki I tend to ignore Harley 'stuck-ups' too unless 'they' initiate a wave first..lol)
But, in all seriousness, with a front open-diff and LSD rear I could see a stock VX or alot of other 4X4's fail in the same (should not have picked a parking lot to show off) situation.
My Dad had to tow-strap his neighbor's Ford Explorer out of his own front lawn even though the Explorer's driver side wheels were on the paved street. I'm guessing it probably had open diffs front & rear. The neighbor was clearly disappointed that his "4x4" couldn't escape the situation under it's own power!
So I dont know why this is just a "Jeep" thing. Like a Jeep is only capable of doing this? I think this case was a dirver thing.
A VX is more than capable.....

It's a Jeep thing because he is in a parking lot.
:laughing:
When I got stuck I didn't even realize I was in mud. I just stopped after I crossed the creek and sank in down to the frame. Once I realized I was in the mud it was too late. I probably wouldn't have gotten stuck if I would have just kept driving.

I think this thread made me develop a condition; for some reason my eyes keep rolling... repeatedly. :rollo:
How weird! It's embarassing when I find wood in my crotch from out of nowhere! ;)
aww, you jeepers getting defensive?? ;)
i agree though, its more of an idiot driver thing... but that suggests that some jeepers have a tendency to think they are invincible... (key word SOME, but it only takes a few to ruin the reputation of all)
