Post your worst stuck pics here.

My motto is, If your not getting stuck your not trying hard enough"!

Nothing annoys me more than when some blow hard (who clearly doesn't know what he is talking about) says: "It's never been stuck".

Not stuck, but teetering....

And this was in a bad spot as well...half way up a hill, and trying to back down pulled me towards the trees...

Are they really ever stuck? Or just at an inconvenient elevation until further notice?
 
Doesn't look that bad from this angle.

...but I was stuck.

I could rock it back and forth a foot or so, not enough to get up any momentum.

My brother gave me a little yank with his 2006 K2500 and I got it out.

That last one is my favorite. I submitted that one for when you got GMOTM. But that one didn't get used. I was hurt :(
 
BS, it's been stuck in your driveway for a couple years now.

Another I got stuck in the rocks pic.

This was caused by a broken axle shaft :D:D None the less I sure wasn't going anywhere

Yeah, sand is the worst. That's how I broke my first Dana 60 stub shaft.

Here are a couple pictures. I have been stuck worse but that was before digital cameras.

Pretty lame but about the only stuck pics I got. Back in August 2008 one of my buddies from work flew out from Detroit for a long weekend of fishing and with the boys in the high country. What was funny about this was this is a very tame (Tin Cup Pass in Chaffee County) where you can usually do this trail in any stock 4x4 in 2wd most of the way. The problem this day there was a huge sink hole right in the middle of the trail right as you begin crawling up the ramp to the Continental Divide. The front of the truck went right around the hole but the back slid in. We might have been able to pull through but we had a few hundred pounds of firewood hanging on the rear bumper on one of those receiver carrier dealeos. No rear Detroit locker and front TruTac was going to get us out of this mess.

The nearest tree to winch to was what seemed like a mile up the mountain so my buddy took off with the winch cable hook in hand and headed up while I was tried to fish out recovery straps from the bed of the truck. Now, I don’t know exactly how long he thought that winch cable was but when I walked back around to the front of the truck there was no cable sticking out of the Sidewinder winch. Yep, the cable came unspooled. As I look up at my buddy way up the trail I see him still walking with a hook in his hand and cigar hanging off his lip totally oblivious to the fact the cable was unspooled out of the winch by probably twice the distance than the cable was long. By now we have are starting to gather a large gagle of Texans on ATV’s that are getting pissy because there is a fullsize 4x4 blocking “their” “ATV” trail. You know how those ATV asshats can be. To make it worse I was running the 8.1L on a frame mounted fuel pump at that time and every time you shut the engine off the truck would not restart until the pump cooled off. Just as we were contemplating unloading the firewood and remove the hitch carrier a few Jeeps rolled up where they had several straps we could tie together to that big solid tree wayyyy up the trail. But before we started winching I had to get under the truck with an axe and chop away a chunk of the dirt wall that was wreaking havoc on the rear drive shaft. It looked like the dirt and rocks were about to start machining a perfect groove cut in the shaft near the yoke.

Once the fuel pump finally cooled off enough to work and actually start the engine it only took a simple little tug of the little Sidewinder winch to pop us out. After that little escapade we spent the rest of the weekend having a blast fishing, trail riding, and enjoying many of adult beverages around the campfire. We made a point to burn every ounce of that damn firewood! When I got home I ordered all the stuff to install an in-tank fuel pump and have never had a fuel delivery problem since.

My buddy fishing out his cigar before he begins a hike up a mountain at 10,000 ft. :haha:It was also at this very moment I discovered it was not a wise idea to store the recovery straps in the bed under the sleeping platform. Never thought I would be in a position where the tailgate wouldn’t open. Since this day, all recovery equipment resides behind the seat.

That's hillarious. :haha: You probably saved those ATV riders from killing themselves when they tried to ride through that "little mud puddle". :haha:
 
I guess you can call this stuck.....on my side lol


Here I am being saved by 78SWB again.....I pulled him out of the same hole a week earlier.
