Four hours of digging, four 4x4 boards, and a 4x4 truck - I think I know my new lucky number!
Thanks for your help everyone. I even threw some gravel down behind the front tires. I learned a lot from this - mostly, don't drive through those gigantic clay pits. (the clay was so hard around the front tires that I couldn't even dig it out with my fingers)
I didn't use the Fordson Tractor method with the boards; I ratchet-strapped them on the way that Quarkz suggested. Seemed to work really well; none of them broke off until I was out of the pit. I was kind of able to crawl into the wheel well to reach the mud backed up behind the differential/shock mounts etc. Up near the front tires we were sinking in past our ankles in mud. Good times! Thanks again everyone.
