Default Stuck For 5 Hours

so i just finally got back from getting my truck out the mud and man was it something.
The night started off with e going to my cousins house and then to RobertHLeeII's house for some chillin. Friend called me and wanted to go mudding, so i was like hell yeah. Robert tried to tag along but the old lady put her foot down...Robert was also drunk and his woman thinks im some sort if a serial killer

But anyway Robert couldn't go sry dude.

We got to the old mude hole and did some easy stuff had a blast going through long rutted out puddles in 2wd with my tires spinning at 100mph and making 30lbs of boost and still inching along. my friends could only see my tail lights through all the black smoke and the mud. a few times i had to put it into 4wd if i did get stuck in 2wd and kept on going

So we went to this one trail where we barely made it though before, he got stuck last time and i was able to make my way though. FYI my friend drives a 2wd tundra on 285's. so i went first and put in 4wd so i can make sure i get through an as soon as i move forward from the dry dirt i hit the hole and get stuck down to my frame immediately. so my bud tries to move back and get onto solid ground to pull me out and he gets stuck also

so we call some friends its like 1 in the morning and one guy comes out and tries to pull my friends yota out first, but he has street tires on his z71 so he had no traction what so ever. so we head over to my friends work down the road and picked up 4 tow straps so we had about 100 feet of straps and chains going on and yanked his *** out. now it was my turn, another fella showed up in his 07 z71 and tried to pull me out while being next to where my friend got stuck at and once he jerked on my it whipped him to the side and flew into a huge rut the front headlights were in the water. so out other friend in his truck. and the 07 z71 left. so it was the 99 z71 with the street tires left with us.

He left and came back with more straps from his work and now he have about 200 feet of straps and he is on solid dry dirt. we hooked me up and he yanked me with about 10 feet of slack and barely got my out, but i just kept on going and i kept my foot down going backwards.

I told my friends since the tow strap went around a big curve that i was gonna go straight back wards making a new path through all kinds of brush and there was a tree in the way. I knew i was headed right for the tree once i got out i hit it and killed that tree breaking all the limbs and ripping it out if the ground and went right over it that was the coolest part about being stuck.

after taking a glance at my truck i have a bent tie rod and my nerf bar is trashed on the driver side so im gonna take them off. Im gonna go out and take a good look at it once the sun comes up.

I have something to do now and it involves my truck

truck runs fine, except that my filter (once green) is now brown gonna have to clean that. and the tie rod is obviously bent upward, but still drives ok. i wil get some pics of the aftermath. maybe ill go back and get a picture of that tree i killed too. man that was too funny. didn't even put a scratch on my tuck when i hit that thing, but it kocked my driver side mirror forward.

stuck ain't fun...the process of getting stuck is though. I always call the tractor to get me out though.

Looks like an investment in sleeves at this point might be a good idea!
