This, I guess could be considered stuck I don't think this Fast and Furious Wannabe wanted to lower his ride like this  Or maybe it was a flex test for the Hummer..... ;D  |

Sean you have to have the pics posted on the web somewhere to post them up. Then you hit the little picture icon under the "add tags" and put in the URL.
Dang Walt whats the story on that hummer sitting on the Honda? I checked your website and saw a bunch of these. Is this what our tax dollars are going for...four wheelin on the base? LOL
I have a friend in Iraq who drives a hummer around all the time. He is always telling me stories of off roading in the dark using an old set of night vision goggles. He once ramped the hummer off a 20' ridge that he didn't know was there till he was on it. Crazy. ;D

Well snorkleman, lets just say tax money may be spent on "Morale" . For some troops, thats a morale builder, right? ;D But most of the pics happen during the job, like the one Mike is talking about....this pic was the best to see the quality of the mud, as you can see not so wet but soft and deep... It all started when a young airman was cutting grass on the airfield with a Farm Tractor and a bat wing mower towed behind. Hit a soft spot...lol... and....well....stuck. He called for help, and a Ford F-250 4x4 6 PAX pick up came to help.....and stuck..so a 4 CY loader came to the rescue of both......well you guessed it stuck again. 3 so far. Enough screwing around! We got the dozer to pull em all out!  NOPE! We finally used a CASE backhoe to dig em out and pull em all out! It was a nightmare, but a lot of good pics, and owed beer! Cheers!   |

I'm all for spending taxes on morale building! Its about time we spent em on something worthy like 4 wheelin! I bet you guys had to dig a pretty big hole to get all those rigs out of the mud. Thats crazy a dozer couldn't even get them out. German mud = BAD. |
