Me and 7 of my friends(6 Jeeps, and a Durango)decided to go wheelin after school today. We had already crossed several icy mud holes on the trail. After about 30 mins, our leader( Jeep with 4" lift and Super Swampers) gets stuck:


So what do a total of twelve high school seniors do...stand around untill someone takes control of the situation. Gentlemen, today, that someone would be me.




What do you know... no rear tow point. So my friend tommy gets ready to go under.



After a few tugs i pulled him out. And yes i was freezin my balls off in a t-shirt and shorts.

F'IN NICE!!!!!

Nice job and I like the commentary.

I expect the Jeep trolls to show up any minute now to tell you how much you suck for driving an Xterra.

NICE!!!
Is that a winch I see on your truck in one of those pics? And, if it is, why didn't you use it?

I was thinking the same thing..

Looks like he was trying to pull a Pikachu with that ice stunt.

Always nice to have pics...

Good job!

Great way to show sportsmanship on the trail!

that definately gets my vote for one of the coolest and most well done posts I have seen here in a long time....great story, great pics, great result, and oh how timely and appropriate given the current troll invasion...

I love you. (not gay)

So did you show the jeep up and try the water/mud hole with your Xterra?

I wasn't there and can't answer for Darkwarrior, but...

I usually think of a winch as more of a last resort when a tow strap won't do the trick. It usually takes a lot less time to hook up a strap and it's more safe than a winch. In that situation I would have gone for the strap too.

well did you?

Oh c'mon. Someone has just GOT to send a link to those Heepers.

dude sweet pics, nice truck.
i wish i had as much money as you when i was a high school senior...

BTW, even if you didn't go in that mud hole/baby marianis trench, good for you, intelligence is directly related to good judgement calls.

Thanks Guys,

Im sorry to say that, no i didnt forge the depths after the we pulled him out. Simply judging by the depth of the mud/water, 33"+. if i were to try it and either get stuck or slow down, the water would been higher than the bottom of my doors seams. i just didnt feel like dealing with 6" of water in my truck today. so we backtracked a little and we all went around.

Yes that is a winch on my truck, but like ChuckH said i consider it more of a last resort. Time, Safty and Equimpent use is always takin into consideration:
10 minite tow strap pull vs. 25 min winching w/ more equipment clean up

BTW we all consider ourselfs to be very lucky, to be so well funded that is. most of us do have part time jobs that we throw every penny we make into our trucks. forget wasting it on High School girls, jk.

This kind of stuff happens to us all the time, we normally have someone stuck once every 2 weeks or so. i just got a digital camera, so i'll keep you guys posted on our little adventures.

just givin' you a hard time man, like i said, 'I WISH...'

some have it better than others, it will always be like this.

Where were you wheelin' at in these great photos? Was it near Bull Run?

Great pics man...and nice job pullin that TJ out of a sticky spot...I'm a former "Jeep Troll" myself...and I'm actually very impressed with my X's capabilities, and of course with yours....keep up the good work..we need to show these Jeep owners that there's more to life than Daimler Chrysler

You suck for driving an Xterra. Jeeps rule!

Yeah, where is that trail? I live near Centreville and wouldn't mind knowing of a place near by where I can get the truck dirty.

Hey Ian...

I think I smell a new XOC pic or pics of the month...especially with the Jeep trolls visiting our home page.

Broncos are so much cooler though
