had to get pulled by a power joke

well i was out off orading last night down at the river here, and i was doin quite well crossing deeeep creeks that were just at the bottom of my doors, completely covering my 35's and i was goin down quad trails like i usually do following my friend, and by the way it had been raining really hard the last 2 days, so anywho my friends ranger just about flops on it's side in this creek, so i hook onto him to pull him out, and i pulled him as well as trees with it to and i just about had him out and all of a sudden my truck slid sideways off the little trail right into a nice soopy hole. i get out to access the damage, and my 35 is barried under mud and only about 6 inches is pokin out from the mud, the diff was resting on hard ground, when i slid my truck went right into a tree, and dented the box nicely, and the cab corner, right up to my door, and then stopped. soo now a ranger is truck and so am i, only truck that i knew could get me out was a ford powerstroke, lifted with 40's on it and one other dodge but hed never take his truck where mine went. sooo the ford guy comes and of course has to video tape the stuck and get me to say the ford had to pull me out. it took him about 3 tugs to get me out, and he lifted the back end of my truck right off the ground while doin it haha. i was quite ashamed, i guess ill be getting alot of talk at school about it, lotsa ford guys there haha, anywho thought id tell you all about the adventure.

Just remember you wouldn't have been in that situation if you didn't have to pull the FORD ranger out. Besides it happens to the best of us and like flash said one day he WILL need a favor I have no doubt in my mind about that.

On another note see if you can get a copy of that video I want to see how hard his truck was working to get you out.
