Knowing modern vehicles and a friend who works for a rental company, I wouldn't be surprised if the Rental Vehicle tattled on the renter.

Renting cars for Stucks? -
YouTubeThese pickups are offered as what they call a "PreRunner" designed for offroad desert running, without a front differential.
The tradeoff is more power, less expensive, and more opportunities to get stuck in the mud.
I will admit that you are not alone in the morning wood comment.

Horribly stuck a few years agoGood stuff! I'm genuinely curious how you managed to get your rear wheels so deep.
Was the Mud that soft?

Creating muddy yard.Hello friends.
Has anyone here purchased a home, or land for the benefit of being able to have a place to get their vehicle stuck?
I recently looked at a home with a large yard that needed "Work" because the side yard was known to be Muddy most of the year, but alas it was way more than I could afford.
It got me thinking, has anyone here made a muddy spot to play in?

Stuck sounds and talks -
Neighbors Truck Stuck.@booted-driver That is true, this trucks front wheels where stiff from sitting for years. It had moved about 30 feet before the rear wheels got into Mud.

Couldn't agree more! Best sound and feeling ever!

Neighbors Truck Stuck.Awoke to the sound of a Pickup Truck in a Muddy distress, went outside to look, and saw my Neighbors Pickup Truck named "Dusty" in his yard, rear wheels spinning, slicked smooth with Mud.
Dusty had been sitting in the yard for a couple of years with alignment problems/ bald tires, so his front wheels where a bit stiff.
I walked over to lend some assistance and tried to give his Truck Dusty a push, feeling the Tailgate rock and vibrate a bit as one of the tires had a bad belt, no luck trying forwards, I had butterflies in my stomach.
Moved to the front and tried pushing backwards, my hands against the warm bonnet, the transmission whined as I tried my best to push, the rear wheels just swirled slowly in the Mud, reverse wasn't a strong gear. The engine was getting warm and shaky, it had an intermittent misfire, so it smelled of hot oil.
My neighbor stops for a moment to talk on the phone and shuts the engine off. He gets out and tosses me the keys, "I'll let you deal with this, park in the driveway". He has to go to work.
He tells me there are boards behind his shed, and drives away.
I look at the rear half of the Truck and my entire body was vibrating. It's just me and Dusty the Truck. I get in and sit down, adjusting the mirrors so I could see my rear wheels.
I start him up and the engine is running rough. I shift into gear and press the accelerator pedal. The engine hesitates quite a bit at first, then smoothes out. The rear wheels are spinning in the Mud with a Wirrrrrrrrrring sound as they wobble the Truck bed, I keep on it for some time, listening to the whining sound of the Wheels. I shift to reverse and the engine groans as the wheels slowly churn in the Mud, it really doesn't like reverse.
I'm rock hard at this point and can't take it anymore... i end up blowing my load in my trousers...
I try for a good 45 minutes, but Dusty just does't have it in him to get free of the Mud.
It soon starts snowing heavily, so i gave the truck's bonnet a few pats for effort, left the keys and went home to shower...
Over the next couple of days I tried again and again and again, but the truck couldn't move and just spun its muddy wheels helplessly, as the front bearings where very stiff.
About 2 weeks he sat before my neighbor called a tow truck to pull onto the driveway to work.
Thought I'd share my experience with you.

Got the truck spinning good. Slipped her into a patch of mud and hit the gas. Hope you fellas enjoy.Very nice content, I'm sure your truck enjoyed it too!

First experience getting stuck.My first experience came when I was in my teens.
My friend asked me to stay at his home to watch the dog while he was on holiday.
There had been heavy rains prior to my arrival, and about 2 days into my stay, my friend asked me to move his Toyota
Tacoma into the driveway, as it was parked in the side yard.As I'm walking to the pickup, i notice the grass is very Muddy and slippery beneath my boots... I get a certain feeling come over me.
I get in, click my boots off, start him up, put into gear and press the accelerator pedal. I move about a foot forward before I feel the rear wheels spin and slide backwards slightly (). I try again, but this time I only move a few inches before the wheels spin... at this point I had major butterflies in my stomach and a building stiffy.
I rolled the window down to look back and find my rear wheels only in about three inches of Mud, but the treads slicked smooth. My adrenaline was pounding.
I put into reverse, and tried feathering the pedal, I move back about a foot before loosing traction. I shift to forward, and hear the rear wheels groaning in the Mud and could feel a wobbling and rocking from the rear. I honestly couldn't believe this was happening...
I get out and walk behind the truck, the Mud was slippery and almost taking my shoes off. Peering down at the rear wheels about 4" deep in Mud, there was no tread. I look at the long Mud caked Mud flaps on the truck and they're blank... no 4wd.
I get back in and try a few more times, eventually the Truck couldn't move anymore. My rear wheels are just spinning and wobbling in the slippery Mud, the transmission made a whining sound in protest. The Truck just couldn't get free of the Mud, spite it not being all that deep.
I was throbbing the entire time and somehow ended up getting off hands free in my shorts...
Left the truck in the spot for the night.
Went back out the next morning, the rear wheels had thick brown Mud crusted to them. The ground felt more firm, started him up and stepped on the pedal and the wheels spun, this time the Mud was very sticky.
I enjoyed the sounds and sensations the truck made as it struggled and tried it's best to to get free of the Mud to no avail.
I had remembered that the family would be home In a couple days and I couldn't just leave the truck there, so i rummaged through their tool shed and couldn't find any boards to put under the wheels, but I did find a boat winch.
I made a loop at both ends and tied one end to a tree in front, and the other to the tow hooks under the bonnet. The next three days where spent hand winching the truck inch by inch.
I got the truck 8 feet forward from the ruts it got stuck in. I tried driving out, but the wheels still spun as they where so caked in Mud. I had to hand winch about 40 feet.
Finally, the Muddy butt was back on the driveway
I raked over the ruts in the grass as best I could, and gave the truck a good bath.
My friend arrived back home and I did have to explain the tracks in the yard, but all was well. Whew!
There is nothing quite like the sound of wheels whining in Mud, and the feeling of the rear end wobbling.
After this experience, I've been severely addicted to this fun interest.
