On my overconfidence (got stuck in mud) at Hubbard Mesa Open Space, CO

[HOSSMAN]

I loved bogging and getting nasty with my 83 on 38's back in my HS days! Like you say, if you don't get stuck you aren't trying!
I just wish we had mud here in South Texas, this drought and heat are tough. No real rain here in it seems like 2 years.

More momentum and feel free to make your own line. If using someone else‘s line then a little more momentum than what is usually needed.

Well you're trending on the site, you'll be viral by tonight and on all the click bait car sites by the morning!

Haha! Fingers crossed!

Who gives a Flying F*** what jeepers think?!

Exactly! Like Jeeps never get stuck??

I knew as soon as the music started in his video...he was getting stuck.

Looks like a little rocking back and forth with some skinny pedal you would have saved yourself.

When we would visit family in Grand junction we would either go to Palisades or Rifle so my wife would get her "magic" drink sweetener.

I want to hit some spots up by Ouray next year with the Bronco.

The very first trail I hit was Engineer. I'd like to do Ophir next, but that might be next summer.

One I want to run is Poughkeepsie Gulch .

I usually don't participate much here... but I feel the need to defend this member. Almost anyone that has been off-roading extensively has gotten stuck, even if they won't admit it. There's nothing wrong with this video or the driver or the Bronco. They are learning! We need more content like this, not less. And showing others your mistakes is great for the community. This is REAL content and calling it otherwise does a disservice to the community. Jeeps get stuck too. And the idea that our community should be ashamed somehow if a Bronco gets stuck is not right.

Thanks for sharing, Nate Train!

I appreciate the positivity! Thanks!

And I definitely found it!

I had a grandfather who was a lumberjack in Montana. He had a lifetime of off roading experience. He once told me, “If you go looking for trouble with your truck…you’ll probably find it.”

Well, I definitely found it!

It’s all part of the fun. I’m two years into ownership and learning more and more every day and having a blast doing so. I got myself in a very similar scenario right after I installed Sasquatch suspension and Toyo AT3s on my Black Diamond. At that point I only had a dozen or so hours of off-roading under my belt. Misjudged a line and slid right in. A buddy had to come get me out with my kinetic ropes and his 4Runner.

This type of situation could happen again and I would learn a new lesson. That’s what it’s all about.

I went back a few weeks later and completed the trail. This was just beyond that rut that sucked me in.

Oof! That's a deep one!

I'll also add that I'm not totally mud incompetent. Here's another one I *did* get out of...
