Well, I dont know if anyone remembers me here, I havent posted in 2+ years, but I had a rather exciting day in the Bronco that inspired me the check in on the forum.
I got a call from one of my friends, who has an '05 silverado 4x4 5.3L vortec. He told me that he needed my help to get someone else stuck from the mud. The were in a power line right of way, with an 06 Land Rover LR3 V8 HSE that was buried up to the frame. Already there was a S-10 ZX2 supercharged with AT's. I just have AT's that need replacing, so I find a good line and power back to the LR3 right behind the Silverado. Right as I am getting on to solid ground, Pop goes my drivers side auto hub. Great I now have 2wd in a mud pit with All Terrains that are worn. Luckily, there were some conviently located power poles to winch out with a come-along. The S-10 went to get closer to the LR3, and got stuck. We winched it out from my truck, and then another buddy arived with a '78 scout with Mud Terrains. I still had a 200 ft mud pit to go through, so I hooked up the towstrap to the scout, and got out easily. The scout pulled on the LR3 for half an hour before the tow company was called. The owner of the tow company has a 06 F-250 Powerstroke with a 4" skyjacker lift and 35" mud terrains. After about 1 hour and $350 worth of tugging later, the LR3 was freed.
Well, I'm going to get some locking hubs (Warn?). As well as some new tires and wheels. A little farther in the future, I will try to get an Edelbrock EFI setup (400hp+) and Overdrive Transmission.
I will try to post some pics, but the are all stuck on my phone for now.
