Was it Jay that winched them out? I sent him a text around noon to see what he was up to, said he was on his way.

anyway if in the future anyone is needing recovery, shoot me a PM and I'll pass on Daves phone number
Does he live in Ogden because Lulu found 2 trucks and 2 SUV's that were lifted and had winches and all 4 had their trannies blown......
If/when anyone will get stuck again we'll probably post it online on a thread again..
Great turn out, lots of fun after all.........It's just the attitude I got from the idiot I went and got stucked for.... Karma's a *****, I know he'll get what he deserves, after all probably because I always help out I got the help I needed........
Great bunch of people on the Diesel forums, maybe we should start a club.........
What about the spot we were at, isn't it great for Sunday outings? Let's do it again sometime..

I think they are from up there in Canada.
That stinks. My father in law and I both have serious built mud trucks and I have seen to many times when people wanna call for help, expect it for free and then leave you when something goes wrong. I dont mind pulling friends for free or the stranger that accidently got stuck but when it comes to pulling out someone who just got dumb and got stuck I aint doing it for free. I put to much money and time into the truck for it to be somebodys personal free tow truck.

With his rotten attitude and the idiot friends he has - see the snow shovel, the 5 hr wait for nothing, and the 200 bucks he wanted for helping me - I don't think I need to worry about him, he'd get what's coming to him. I'd give it 2 weeks before he gets stuck again in the exact same spot.........
The bumper will get fixed(eventually) I just need to find the time to take it out and straighten out the brackets.
I'm probably gonna put a winch in it too while I'm at it......
Lucky me there were so many witnesses or I'd be stuck digging out a big hole in my back yard.........Strongly felt like beating him with a shovel.....the real one..........

I used to live near kerrville in hunt, also in olmos, seguin, lavernia, canyon lake.....Loved San Marcos- gosh, I so miss Texas, probably the most stand up ppl I've ever met......of course there was also my exwife and her new boyfriend but nobody liked them anyway and she was from AZ anyway.........
But; When God air dropped all the good folks into the south, the Albertans got caught in the wind and missed the dropzone by about 2,400 miles..........

You can find those 2 1/2 tons for decent prices sometimes but then again if someone knows what they got they want a fortune just because of the axles.

Ayone want to come digging around Rocky/Red Deer is more than welcome to come with us. We go often with around 8 trucks from mild to wild. Our trucks are trailered out and are offroad only. It's a messy blast!!!
