Corvette.Jeff Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 When you mix a old 3/4 ton dodge, 2 days of rain, mud, no power steering, manual brakes, and an inexperienced driver??? You give up? You get stuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvette.Jeff Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 lol id be embarrassed to get stuck in such a easy to get out of problem Not as easy as youd think, there was about four inches of mud and water in that ditch(its about a foot deep where my back tire is) my bumper got caught up on the road, and i didnt have any weight in the back. Also, since this is just my work truck, i dont have posi. not so easy now eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Weight in the back would have just made it worse, since your bumper was already caught on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Why is the back wheel off on an angle like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Probably because the left rear wheel is sitting higher because it's on a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvette.Jeff Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Why is the back wheel off on an angle like that? Well i was goin through the drainage ditch(for the rain) i started going at an angle so i wouldnt get caught up(lot of help that did!) and when it did catch the drivers rear was still up higher than the passenger rear.

JamesW Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yeah, I would say your rear springs and shocks are junk. Either that or the front is EXTREMELY stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
