me n my buddy were out driving, and we spotted a very nice set of trails, nice and muddy, we were doing great, and then we came up to this water crossing, we got out, stuck a stick into it to see how deep it was, seemed fine...4lo....no sooner we go in, that we get stuck right in the middle, i look out my window and the step rails are under water, and im shooting a huge rooster tail up, i climb out, hop on a big slab of ice on the site, and it looks like the X is a boat, all 4 wheels were in the sand, yea the bottom was sand, i didnt feel it just poked it, it was on a slight angle so the engine was still dry, the whole body was just clear of the water so i got lucky, but this is where the fun started, we were alone (i know dumb move) so i called my bro-in-law cuz he has a cherokee and a buddy with a old yota pickup, they get there and laugh cuz my X looked like a boat, there was no way to the trails ahead of us other than going all the way around since i didnt have a rear tow hook, so we tried that to get a better pull, we went around and the jeep bottoms out on mud...luckily a bunch of guys on ATVs were driving by and helped us out the entire ordeal, long story short we park the jeep, the yota wasn't much help and the atv's couldnt pull a 4000lb rig, so i get a tow strap that i have and we pull the yota back around where we first started, behind the X, but i was in ice cold water for what seemed like forever rigging the strap up around the rear part of the frame, i finally get it done, the yota pulls and nothing happens, so since im sitting there freezing in drenched clothes, an ATV guy actually gave me his sweat pants and socks that were under his snow pants, i was still stuck so then 2 other ATV guys show up, one guy goes either a tow truck or i'll go get my hummer, he goes and gets his H2, a few pulls and he gets me right out, fellow 4wheelers are really great people and i dont know where i'd be right now had they not showed up,the X was great,taught me a good lesson to not go out go out alone, and follow the link there, youll see what it was like, sat there for like 3 hours just idleing, DONT WHEEL ALONE!!
