Sunk the truck!
Well sunday after the dyno we went to Carson Lake(up by whitecourt) to do some trout fishing,and half hour we had our limit so we started to head back. 20 feet from our spot with 3.5 feet of ice this what happens. Was is amazing it that the front end made it over the spot but the back was not so luckey
Never had that happen to me in my life,hopefully never will again
1 hour and $170 we were back on the road with no damage accept a bent exhaust and the mud flap holders took the worst of it

Wow! I never would have thought you would fall through 3 1/2 feet of ice! I went ice fishing at Charlie Lake near FSJ and the ice was about that thick. Bottomed out my power auger just as I broke through the ice. Never caught a thing either. My 3 years old daughter was talking about ice fishing tonite at dinner. She was mad because she never caught anything and her hook wouldn't sink. She was determined to use a crankbait. LOL Anyways drain that diff like mentioned above, or at least check it for milkiness. The fish make it home safe and sound?

I dont think id have the cahone's to even ride a 4 wheeler across ice let alone a 7,000 lb truck. Just never know how thick it is in different spots, nor how weak it is.
You are one lucky man!

I'm thinkin' that the fish got a pretty good chuckle out of that one! Same thing happened to a buddy of mine a few years back near Cadotte Lake. His front end went in so I bcked in to pull him out ... got half way to his truck and my front end went in
Not a whole lot of traffic up there on a Sunday morning!

I live in Whitecourt, I go to Carson to fish a fair bit. I would never take a truck out that late in the season. In fact I was there just before you and walked out.
