VX saves the day!!

On my way home from picking up the trailer and a new Optima battery in preps for picking up the Trooper RS tomorrow, I saw a minivan buried to the frame in mud. I told her I'd be right back. I went home, got the VX and came back to save the day. Fortunately I keep all my gear in the truck at all times. I misjudged how deep the mud was, it covered my manual hub and ate my flip flops:( A friend of mine also stopped and we managed to get under the van and dig out a spot on the rear axle, and I fished in the mud to engage the hub. Good thing it has fresh grease in it.
Another guy with a big chevy truck stopped and expressed concern that he was going to have to pull mine out of the mud too. Needless to say, he was apologetic after I was done. I pulled the van out, left three rows of ruts where I dragged my rear diff through the mud and of course the tires. Traffic was backed up, and those dick heads wouldn't let me turn around and merge, so I pulled out in front of a little civic and threw a good 10lbs of mud across his hood and windshield. He should have stopped and let me out...:)
Score one for VX, zero for big chevy truck.

1 question...what was the minivan doing trying to go through the deep mud in the first place?:noo:

??? 2...where are the pics?:bwgy:

Sorry, no pics, and she ran off the road, its all grassy, but its swamp grass, so very deep mud, once her passenger tire was off the shoulder, it was over for her.

I told her to tell her husband she drove through a puddle, she said "Iain't got no husband". No wonder she drove into the mud...no one to be held accountable to:)

Hmmm, perhaps that's the main reason she intentionally got herself stuck-- Perspective Husband Shopping; looking for that man in Bright Shining Armor. Err, in your case Bright Proton Armor.

Great Job, Marlin-- we are all proud of you!!!

:clap:

Speaking of husband shopping... Riff, you do realize Marlin is already married to a woman right? :P

Just think, if you had that winch/winch bumper from Joe Darlington you could have pulled her out from the pavement. ;)

What would be the fun in that? Now people drive by and see some 2 foot deep ruts and think, "damn, someone had to call a tow truck to get out of that"...not on my watch.
