    How stuck have you gotten your Deuce PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

    Looks like a drill mud pond, if it is, no matter how dry the top gets, under that dry it will stay gooey for ever. also if in fact that is a drill pond, you are lucky that the deuce framed out and that the truck was lite because it could have gone down till the bottom was found.

    M817 Belt Tightening Question
