So as I'm backing out of the barn across the rain-soaked yard this morning I actually managed to get the good 'ole GP stuck. :th_laugh-lol3:
Of course driving in and out in the same tracks for a month or so hadn't helped the situation (all of the grass was dead, or close to it) but the rain we've been getting was too much. As I'm backing out I start to feel the back slide around a bit and I'm just hoping to myself that I can make it out....praying that the new Altimax HP's up front will save me. No such luck. I wasn't giving it any extra gas but when I started to feel the front slide around a bit I gave it just a tiny tiny bit of gas hoping to have just enough speed to make it out.
I did make it about another 4 or 5 feet till I hit the beginning of the deeper puddle....then it was game over. Had the SOAB buried past the edge of the rim at this point. Thing just sunk like a rock.
I debated about throwing something under the tires to give myself some more traction but then I remembered that there was actually some scattered stone a few inches (maybe 3 or so) under the grass. After realizing that it didn't like spinning the tires with trac on, I punched it off and, after a bit of spinning, hit stone and got myself back into the barn. Threw it into reverse, punched it while I had good traction, and managed to blast my way back out through the yard and onto the driveway.
Mud bogging in reverse like a bauce....that was my morning.:th_laugh-lol3:
