Little fun in the mud.
Went down to a friends of mines place in L.A. and between Sh*tty driving and being in 2WD I got stuck rather quickly. LOL
Anyway here or some pics, altho the better ones were the ones of us in his jeep going down a river.

2. Going across the ruts aren't exactly the smartest thing to do.
3. Did you look at my tires? They aren't exactly the best tire to do s**t like that.
That was basically the story of the entire afternoon, doing stupid s**t.

BTW, I'm still pretty new at driving offroad. When you get stuck in mucky soft crap like that, is wheelspin good or bad? I know you need it to clean out mud tires, but won't that just dig you in further? Also, 4Hi or 4Lo? Thanks!
Here's what I do if I find myself getting stuck in mud:
4lo, turn the wheels all the way to the right or left, until you're forcing the tires into the ruts you dug. Give it a little gas, and you should be able to crawl up the side of the rut at least an inch or two. Put the truck in reverse, turn the wheels the other way and press them into the ruts again. Just keep doing this until you are able to move at least a foot and a half. Then just gun it in whichever direction you think would be easier to get out. Usually this is reverse, because there's probably some good size mounds of dirt in front of your front tires. I've gotten out of many sticky situations by doing this. The goal is to press your front tires into the ruts so they gain a little traction. Looking back, I know there's plenty of situations I could have gotten myself out of had I known this a long time ago.
