So yesterday I was screwing around in the snow at school and backed into an 8 foot snow bank at about 6-8mph. After lunch I decided I could get in further, so I grabbed third gear low and wound it out in 6x6 headed for the pile, blasted in and decided I could go even deeper. So I back out, put it in high and slammed it in second high, got a little further, by this time half the parking lot is watching and I was told by an administrator that I get one more try, lol. So backed out one more time, far as I thought I needed, and again 6x6 second high I blew in and made it within a foot of the concrete barrier. I had snow up to the hood and idled down while having a smoke and shut her down. Fast forward 3 hours, I fire her up to leave, wait to warm up and then put it in 6x6 reverse low, go to back out and just spun all 3 drive wheels..... That 200 degree motor melted the snow under the front end and left me stuck. So with a helping hand from a buddy, two shovels and a bucket, we had me dug out and free in a little under an hour.
Oh yeah, in the meantime, some idiot in a wrangler decides that his 4 inch body lifted jeep decided he can get as high and deep as my jeep deuce... Well he winds up not even 1/3 of the way in as me, and more stuck than I was, so I tell him if my ratchet strap can't get him out, he's on his own because that was stupid if I was that stuck no ****e he was gonna get stuck worse. So I back up, wrap the loose end through his 2 bumper loops to make a little triangle, hook the ratchet end to my one rear chain loop that gave me the straightest angle, tightened it up, and in 1 low just let the clutch out and without hesitation the deuce pulls him out like he's not even there.
All in all, quite gratifying, and a bit fun. Lol. Who else had snow adventures these past few days?
