Had fun this weekend

Went up to higgins lake MI its about a 3 hour drive with my buddy. i didnt take my truck we took his dads 01Excurtion 8" lift 35" toyo's trailerd his 77 F-150 10" of lift with 38" super swampers and welded rear diff with 3.55's a 350CC honda 4x4 and a 660 5 vavle yamaha raptor. we got there sat around 11 ate then hit some trails found some logs that the trucks climbed up *didnt have 4 wheelers out this time* then we went to a mud hole played around there for a while then went back to eat me and my buddy headed out to a sand hill and his dad went to get gas and we were driving around and the truck died...he had been having carb probs tryed to restart he said no power so we opened the hood...the batt. had fliped outta the tray onto the pulleys so we ran 10feet and watched the batt. glow and drip acid. Got him a new batt everything worked fine...no subs thoe oh well. Then sunday took the 4wheelers and both trucks went threw some mudd and his dads excurison got stuck at 3:35PM tryed pulling with the 77. no luck had him dig some ruts and got a chain fall..no luck. put the chain fall around a tree...pull the tree down... ended up getting an 8,000lbs witch from tractor supply co. straping it to his grampa's 01 F-150 4x4 and the witch was pulling the F-150 into the mud. so we straped the hitch to 2 trees on either side and finaly pulled him out. Truck was out at 9:30... we stayed and extra night and me and my buddys dad's friend went out on 4 wheeler still 10 because his dad felt bad we didnt do much wheeling... 9:55 rolls around the honda 350CC im on wont shift into 3rd *ESP shifting* i try to go to frist nothing then it dies i mess with some wires nothing we had to load it into the bed of the F-150 and the next day it started and shifted fine.

Pretty good weekend. Sorry for the book of a post but heres some pictures and videos.
