Default this is why I am never getting 2wd again

Well I just got stuck for my first time yesterday...I went to go pick up some lacrosse goals from storage and everything was thawing out. Well I got up to the storage shed loaded one of the goals and tried backing down the hill and ended up sliding into the rut on the side of the gravel road. Thanks a lot 2wd....Had a friend with a nissan xterra and a winch come pull me out. It was pretty funny watching that little thing tug and tug till he finally listened to me and anchored it to a tree.

Boy do I hate 2wd...

^^ Yeah I know what you guys mean, my transmission has never felt the same since I got mine stuck. It doesn't feel bad, just not as firm.

I got one for you guys. The day I turned 16 I picked up license and I took my truck that I had bought a few months prior out with all my other buddies in their lifted trucks. Well we all run around and my truck des pretty well for being a striaght six turning 33's. Well I am pretty high on my horse by the time we are leaving that I decide to go through this ditch off to the side of the trail. I get stuck and burn the clutch up on my truck after tryin to get it out for an hour. Ended up having to call my old man and have him bring his superduty out to pull me out. Pretty embarassing and aggravating. Bright side is that I learned to replace my clutch and tranny right away so the next 3 times I had to do it was easy.

it's easy to get caught up with a new truck but hopefully the cost was not that much

Wheelin without a lift and tires smaller than 33s . I dont think id ever trust my FX4 to go down a muddy trail unless its a little harder packed 1/2 ton is just a little too heavy and drops in down to its frame too easy . Although my wrangler I would, light agile and if it gets stuck, most heavy duty quads can pull it out.

When it comes to towing others out the Jeep I wouldnt trust, not cause the lack of power, its just too light, F150 does wonders pulling cars out of ditches
