Thanks Guys,

Im sorry to say that, no i didnt forge the depths after the we pulled him out. Simply judging by the depth of the mud/water, 33"+. if i were to try it and either get stuck or slow down, the water would been higher than the bottom of my doors seams. i just didnt feel like dealing with 6" of water in my truck today. so we backtracked a little and we all went around.

Yes that is a winch on my truck, but like ChuckH said i consider it more of a last resort. Time, Safty and Equimpent use is always takin into consideration:
10 minite tow strap pull vs. 25 min winching w/ more equipment clean up

BTW we all consider ourselfs to be very lucky, to be so well funded that is. most of us do have part time jobs that we throw every penny we make into our trucks. forget wasting it on High School girls, jk.

This kind of stuff happens to us all the time, we normally have someone stuck once every 2 weeks or so. i just got a digital camera, so i'll keep you guys posted on our little adventures.
