My dad and step mom's mini van? No point in moving it. For all intensive purposes... STUCK!

Please understand that my jeep was just on the other side of the van A few moments ago parked for the last 3 days or so.

My dad, while plowing the driveway in his tractor, managed to slide the rear tire into a ditch embankment. Tractor... STUCK! Decided to take his Ford F-250 in hopes to pull the tractor out. F-250 never made it to the tractor before getting STUCK!

Lets recap. Mini van? STUCK. Tractor? STUCK! Ford F-250 super duty? STUCK!

Now I know this is speculation, but do you remember where I told you the van was??? (Seriously. That's where it was.) Well. Please take a look at this next picture and notice the STUCK tractor, and the STUCK F-250. Furthermore, please note my jeep that ISN'T stuck and made it with no issues.

Thank you... That is all. I have to go pull out a tractor and a truck. Be back soon. :driving:

Probably until I pull him out. After that, he won't need my services anymore. :headshake:

Well. Now that I'm done, I will go get some of the pics I promised of the brush guard on. Not sure if anyone really cares to much about that, but It helps from deer strikes.

I wish this was the only way I could see snow. I don't care much for it at all. I can't ride my dirtbike in this, and my quad just burrows. I miss summer, and I miss Cali. Though I do enjoy snow with the Jeep. It would be so much better though if I could just drive to the snow, and then away from it. ANYWAYS. Guess who got stuck again and needed a sexy red head XJ to pull them out again?

And after a hard days work, here's the brush guard.
Complete with cheap Walmart offroad lights.

You know it is funny you had to pull the tractor out... I wish I had gotten pics of it last year... when I had to use my Jeep to pull the tractor out of the snow after I got the front tire stuck in some random hole.... and on top of that pulling my wife's Ram 1500 Hemi out of the snow when she got stuck... stupid factory HP tires...

That's awesome. Last winter I went on a camping trip. They were calling for 2-4". So we got 18". NO cell phone coverage, no plows. Made it out in one piece. Though the wife about strangled me. Haha

Lmao. You have to appreciate women and their fear of maintaining self preservation.

You could put an old sand paddle tire on your dirtbike to get around in the snow, that's how we do it here. :-)

I was thinking about the paddle tire... wasn't sure how that would do on the snow... but hey,, if you guys do it, you already know it works..
