You either dont have a trac lock or yours is worn out.

Hope for an open differential. You can toss in a lock rite or aussie locker for under 400. Then you will destroy offroad.

were you guys riding one in fornt of the other him in front of you, if so he was possibly digging ruts and you could have bottomed out. I have to say this also to the poster who has never been stuck in his ford (your not mudding) not being a smart ellick but man they all get stuck if your mudding.
Did they guy you were with no the area and you didn't, I seen a stock 150 drive around a pudding hole all day and never get stuck because he new the hole and new where the deep ruts were and avoided them, played all day and I was like he is done but nope he new where he could go. Trucks with 44's were 1 lane over hitting the deep ruts and getting buried. Oh yeah Trucks Gone wild this weekend at Soogy Bottom Mud pit! woohoo!!

Well I don't try to get stuck, but I can tell you I've been through a lot of stuff that my friends got stuck in in there Chevy, Jeeps, and Toyotas.
