HELP!!! Need Pulled Out of the Mud - (houston) Pasadena, TX

Went off road in a field in Pasadena (Houston-ish) area.

Ended up stuck pretty good. Thought my front axles were pulling but seems that they weren't even though I had the switch locked in.

SO - anyone want to come help give me a tug or have any ideas? I can't winch out because the winch is facing the wrong direction from the road and nothing is nearby to hook on to.

I estimate I am about 300 feet off a paved surface.

Anyone want to try and give me a pull?

Here is the situation. Attaching a pic.

Open field and there is a small service road behind the truck that runs perpendicular to the direction the truck is facing.

Anyhoo - mostly its just a bad time to find out the front axles won't lock in. :mrgreen:

If worse comes to worse (or best to best) I might be able to help. I'm recovering my deuce next tuesday and might be able to make it out there wednesday. I'm sure more local able bodies will chime in here in a second.

Sorry I can't help either. I got family stuff going on and a recovery 100 miles the other direction.

I spent Chrstmas day at two different family events on different sides of Sugarland. Let us know the next time you are down here.

Here are some cool pics for you all to point and giggle at. :)

I'm sure someone nearby wants to play. This thing is stuck good and the more I mess with it, the worse it gets. I put some wood blocks under the wheels and now its virtually immobilized.

:roll:

I was thinking the same thing but hes in a clearing. Does a neighbor have a tractor or something heavy? You would just winch yourself out if you could get a large truck somewhat in range of the cable.

BTW, 8 points for style but 3 for the landing lol!

I'm in a field near my work. I was hoping someone here had something heavy (the six wheeled kind) they wouldn't mind parking somewhat in range of the cable. ;)
