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
