Here is video of the some dude in the mud. Poor guy wanted to show off the capabilities of his m1008 to the ladies, but all he did was show everyone how stuck he could get.

No worries. Here comes the calvary to the rescue...
I'm headed up to Azusa OHV for some fun on Sunday if anyone wants to join me. We'll be taking my 5 ton and a couple of quads. I'll try not to get stuck again, but that's what I said last time.
Meet up at 210 and Azusa intersection Shell gas station 9:00 - 9:30.
Here is a video of them winching me out.
We are probably going this Sunday.

I have a winch on mine, but it did me no good. I had to be pulled out from the rear.
The whole thing with not putting it in reverse while in low is that you can break your transfer case. Lots of info here on it.
Make sure to post up here so we can put you on the mail list next time an event comes up. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77983-California-Peeps
It's at the Azusa OHV park. I don't know what I would have done without the winch. What I did learn is not to mess around where I might get stuck without having some friends around that have big trucks.
Found this video. I have driven these trucks with this same type of front air ride suspension and can honestly say that it is like driving a car compared to a multi leaf spring truck. Now to find a truck with steer axle air ride suspension.

I must say that this trip was a relaxing and enjoyable trip. The weather was nice, people were good to be around and big thanks to Jeremy for bringing out all that fire wood.
Glad to see Nelson came through with his movie projector. This made for some good time with friends and popcorn. Hope...
I know, some leak more than others especially as they get older. The same goes for the trucks.
Not sure who is and who isn't until they are there, but for entertainment value let's hope so. It's always a surprise to me who shows up to these events. ;-)
