Well let me be the first to say, if you bring the biggest truck and you decide to go off roading make sure you have friends that have bigger trucks. I didn't take my own advice though and luckily one of the guys I was with had a buddy who has tri axles dumps. Anyway after trying my luck at the swamp I got her pretty stuck. Nothing to winch to, no one could pull me out even with a F-250 diesel hooked up to a skid steer. Attached is a few pictures and the video of me getting pulled out. 27,000 # tri axle even had to give quite a jerk to get her unstuck.

O yea getting stuck kinda sucked, but power washing her the next day really sucked.

Not sure how to put youtube video on here but this is the link-

Glad you got it out sans damage. Can I suggest a 6" (60,000#) recovery strap as an accessory for your deuce. Straps designed for snatch recovery make short work of cases like this. That's a nice looking deuce friend.

A bunch of us go to Waynesburg Pa once a year to beat up on some cheap trucks and cars. This year I decided to take the Deuce also. I haven't edited the video for this year, but these are some videos from previous years.

Good Grief it hurts to see a NICE looking Deuce in that position looks like you stuck her pretty darned good. This leads me to one question WHY WHY WHY do we always end up doing the really dirty work (getting unstuck) after dark I swear my whole life I seem to end up in thsi situation, and driving a model A johns deer trackor at night holding a flashlight is just not that fun! I am very glad you got it extracted and the truck loosk not the worse for wear!

I agree. Four by Ken(here on steel soldiers) sells straps and rope. The rope is very nice. I like it better than the straps.
