Advice of the week: Don't drive your stock ass Dodge Dakota into what you didn't think was mud... 3rd photo is aftermath

Saw a nice little pond, wanted to get a photo across the other side with the front tires just dipped in because I thought it'd make for a cool shot.. About 5 feet from the edge of the dirt road I sink in.. "when in doubt, throttle out" was not the strategy... Tried to get out on my own for a while, stuck a 6 foot fence post I had been using as a breaker bar about 3 feet into the ground and tried using my tow strap around the rear wheel as a winch..... that just got bound up around my brake rotor and I had to cut it out of there.. in the end I just called my buddy and he showed up with an 8.1 Vortec Chevy 2500.. it was a hell of a struggle but after screaming at 6,000 RPM going 45 in reverse (..there was no grip to be had, decided wheel speed was best) while he kept repositioning and yanking, it came out eventually. Got the tow strap out of my brakes and drove it home.. it's not even that completely fucked up

Old school, found this original Moto G, 4.5 inch screen... Does anybody make this but with a decent camera and running something newer than android 4.4?

Title, Personally I'm planning out a trip across Canada from east coast to west on logging roads/dirt/backroads as much as possible with as many pretty views as i can get my hands on. I'd quite like to do it in my '03 quad cab 4.7 Dakota which i'd lift up a tad, throw 33s and a limited slip rear at, and maybe swap the engine because the 4.7 is a little tired in her old age and has warped heads, so, it'd either be to a 5.7 Hemi for more power and because they're dirt cheap at the local pick and pull, or a 1.9 TDI diesel from a Volkswagen. From there just basic camping equipment, i'd remove the passenger seat and the right side of the rear bench, then throw a flat board down for an inside spot to sleep on colder nights, and then basic camping gear for everything else... and then just pray gace prices go down cuz gas alone is gonna be like 2k at these prices
