Did Something DUMB....
 

Well, I usually get to make fun of all the young guys that I work with, but now for once I am the butt of THEIR jokes...at least for a little while...

My pennance for this mistake and subsequent rescue was to post the pics of my dumb move, so here they are:

Tried to make it through about 150m of drifted in trail, and was convinced that I could, but about 3m into it, I high-centered so bad my wheels werent even touching the ground. JD710 backhoe couldnt pull me out, he had to use the bucket to 'drag' up out of there....I of course am taking some serious heat over this one....

Way to go tweederputz. :ph:

well yaknow if yer gonna do somepin ya may as well do it up big

looks like the snow had a good crust on it so that makes it tough.

Yea, crust is right...two days before, I blasted down this trail no problem...the crust 2 days later was almost hard enough to drive on....for a little ways...

Dumb, dumb, dumb....:ph:

when ya gonna learn................the first time is easy after that ya got crust man
:ph::ph::ph:

I know gettin into my cabin the last time of the year is easy........gettin out a couple days later is sometimes fun

you need bigger tires !!

I cant even laugh at you...I was north of Edson on a brand new lease road, pulled over to use the phone and the truck sank to the transfer case. That truck never was the same. :w2: Luckily, there are no pics.

I got some pics Doc..want em back ???

He's not talking about the neked pics of you and him Whit. He's talking about the truck. :ha:

The pics were part of the 'rescue' agreement....no choice!

Glad Im not the only one doing something dumb...

Until you boys started talking about snow I was going to ask about that white beach.

I sure like that truck, next time.

Hmmm...white beach...maybe if I think of it as beach from now on it wont be so dang cold!!:U:

Dang Canuks and your meters... So what is that like 8 inches?

You just needed more speed.lol

Ha, ha...hey you guys tried metric...for a weekend!


150m about 450ft
made it about 9ft...lol

Oh trust me, she was flat out when I hit it.....came to a sudden, real fast stop...:booo:


I had a co-worker with me...after he peeled himself off the dash, he looks at me and says ' What the hell were you thinkin...???' lol lol

wow bud! haha -- glad ya got out though! thats a nice lookin truck too :)

Lol if you had a lighter truck you would of been fine. Ummm who makes a lighter full size diesel truck.....J/K


If your going to do something stupid you might as well do it when you have some Iron to pull yourself out with. I do carp like that out in BFE and have to walk a mile ( 1.609344KM for you Eh) or more to find a framer to pull me out.

Well, I was real lucky that we had a backhoe about 1/2 mile away...Im working on a Military base that is HUGE...next closest iron was over 2 hrs away....

dont feel bad Brad, i had some buddies talk me into trying to blow through some snow drifts in my V10 dodge about 5 years ago, i did the same thing, got about 30 feet into a 100 foot run and high centered myself, it was so deep i couldnt open the doors, the drifts were almost 5 feet high, i had to have a Dmax pull me out.....it sucked......

Ha, ha...did you feel as dumb as I did??? We couldnt open the passenger door...

The hoe hand that came to resuce me is a huge FORD fan, and he tried to pull me with his truck first, but it wouldnt even budge it...The hoe barely got me out...

I got talked into large drifts once. Ended up packing my rad full of snow and over heated lucky I didn't crack a head. Yes I felt very dumb.

no because i knew i wasnt going to make it to begin with, school had been cancelled that day and i didnt have to work (when you work at a pizza place and have a big 4x4 you work alot when it was snowing, no other shops had a 4x4) the snow drift was so deep the township hired us to clean it out with a backhoe cause the plow trucks couldnt break through it.........well me being the certified jackass that i am decided to run through it.....





oh and i can tell you the story about the snowman and my ford ranger if you would like, you will get a kick out of that, i pulled that stunt last year.......

and some guages... :w2:

We live at the end of a dead end road, Sunday night took the co. truck (stupid chev gasser) to town to fuel. Drifts about a foot (or 30 cm) over the hood but I figure why not? Good thing the Dodge was plugged in...

NIceeee. But Nice truck. Needs a little lift and a little bigger tires and that may not have happened.

X2 :ha:


At least ya tried. That's worth something right there. :c:

i could tell everyone about Nukes drunken adventure in Manly IA that consists of his truck and a very steep rock pile.....LOL!

Hey longhorn are you still stuck? I've got a tow rope in lethbridge I can be there in 1h 20min If you need help. As for the shovel I'll leave that up to you. lol.
Sorry about your luck bud, but it sure looks like fun.

No, Im out, no thanks to you...lol lol Thanks for the offer a week too late! Funny...everyone wanted me to do the shovelling....
