Hey all, I let my GF drive my car to the lake for a family reunion like thing, so no harm there, right? wrong, she decided to drive my car on the shore a bit, and it got caught in mud.... she kept trying to back it out of there, and it's down to the axels... just tried to havr a blazer come pull it out, and the blazer got stuck because the rain the previous night made the mud worse....

anyone have any ideas on how to get my car out?
 
A clever setup derived from levers & pulleys, LOL.


Do any of your friends have a winch to pull you from a distance. Maybe even a tow company that can deal with pulling things up from the side of the road. They are out there.


That or the TRACTOR idea.
 
most towing companies have winches.. hook that sucker up and pull... just connect it to a part that wont rip off. Plus if you have a towing company do it.. and they mess it up.. they get to pay for it! (film it just in case) LOL

Is there anything close to hook to. you could use a come-along and winch it out that way.

:thumb: It's a bi*** and a half to do, but sometimes it's the only way. (and it's cheaper than paying for a tow truck)

Or get someone with a real truck out there, not a Blazer that was probably rocking street tires.
 
How far is it from harder ground? Living here at the beach Ive seen and tried it all. Not with my DSMs but....Boards seem to work really well if your not to far from some stiffer ground. Not to mention here at the beach there are always some sort of rednecks with there big ol trucks out there. Most of the time you can grab one of them and ask them to do it. They like to prove how much pullin power their monster has. Good luck. :thumb:
 
Lets do the math..

Redneck + Big Truck + Big Tires + Mud = Hell yeah they are going to help you!

Just flag down one driving by.. hell he will prolly have a chain in the back to hook it up.
 
I'm glad my girlfriend doesn't know how to drive a manual...

My buddy had his car stuck in the mud many years ago. My dad's friend had a big-ass 4x4 truck and pulled it out for him.. but I mean it was a big truck..
 
LOL that just made my day here at work, thats the funniest story i've heard yet, better hurry before the tide comes in!
 
yeah, evidently her friend (also female) told her the tires were gripping, and just to gun it in reverse...

good idea :rolleyes:

anyhow, where do i hook the chain to? the rear pumpkin? that's what i'm wondering...

tow truck dude said "not no but HELL NO" when he saw the mud

got a blazer on 44's going out later today to try, and a 88 F-250 banks supercharged going out later, it's also on 44's... and my friends toyota with a winch on front AND back.. that truck can hook up to a tree, drive out in the mud, use the front winch to hook to my car and pull it out... no way he will get stuck with his rear winch.. he's on 31's...

the old blazer was on 31's, also... i'll try to post pics .. heh.. :\

i miss driving my talon.... having to drive gf's '85 accord :barf:
 
LOL its like a contest. Which car can pull him out first. hook up to the frame itself.. find a good crossbar to grab.

just dont hook it up to like.. the bumper itself.. unless you are looking for some weight reduction.

there is a nice vid clip of a kid doing that when he got stuck in the snow.. i think its posted somewhere in the hang out
 
i'v seen the video.



what i'm asking is where do i hook it to? it's not like i can get down on my knees and look under the car for somewhere to hook to... i need a general idea to look.. my car is down in mud... i can't dig it out.. i can't see under it.. i need to reach into the mud to hook it up... but i don't know the underside of my car well enough to know exactly where to hook it up.. so i come here to people who don't have cars submerged in mud, and ask... please.. tell me where a good steady attach point is.. so i don't have to dig around in the mud/snow for a few hours.

preferably somewhere from the rear end
 
post a picture of exactly how your car is stuck and i'll show you exactly where to attach the chains to get it out, this is very hard to picture LOL, and awd stuck to their axles in mud...anyways i gotta see this, also include a picture of you slapping your girlfriend :p

Woman + Mud cancels any advantage of AWD!! :p :laser:
LOL, aint that the truth. Man builds AWD for traction. Woman quickly figures out how to put themselves in a situation that cancels it's effectiveness. :laugh:

i've got an idea:
tie your gf's t#ts to some part of the DSM, then tie her loose cl#t to the jeep. now all you have to do is give the jeep a few more tries, and tell the b#tch to keep her screaming down. and after she pays for the tow trucks (she'd better pay!) then dump her, solely on her stupidity. if your not careful, that's what will happen to your wallet if she gets a hold of it, and that would suck :cry: . now, just take the advice of your anger management councilor and slap her around :mad: . finally, you get rid of her, and make it fast :thumb: .
 
Well... If you're girlfriend dont ''wear the pants in the relationship''

She needs to be held reliable for her actions, Right? Right. With that said, Go get you're girlfriend, Go to lowes or any hardware store and buy a shovel.Then go to the store and get her favorite drink. Take you're girlfriend to the scene.. place shovel in her hand. Have her start digging until she is sweating. This is where her favorite beverage comes into play. Drink it infront of her. spelling the rest to soften up the mud for her, have her keep digging. It is the only way to do it.
