i definatly feel you pain and relief buddy. Only my truck was stuck a night..nay... 2..in the deep mud with a light hurricane passing over us. I went wheelin' tonight at my buddies land and got stuck..IN THE SAME PLACE..I almost shit myself. Luckily his tractor was unstuck and pulled me right out. During the journey i did go up/down creek crossing with inclinations of almost fully 90 degrees, this is no lie. If LR wanted to beat hummer out as far as entry angle and what not, this would have beat it. I'm so glad i removed my front valence bumper for more angle of entry, had i not, I would have been stuck and floating down river in about 5 hours from now when we're supposed to get a bad storm. i can't believe atv's got you out the first time, we tried hooking an ATV upto me when i was stuck the 1st time and it almost dug itself a grave(literally). Anyways, great story and learning experience. What I learned tonight was to use your e-brake and low gears along with regular brakes when descending a steep(VERY STEEP) decline. Also i learned to spot ridges between tires so i don't get my diff. stuck on them. One more thing, anyone have any suggestions on getting mud off the textures vinyl on the interior? That stuff just won't come off. I've tried armoral orange wipes, water, spunges, etc.. nothing works, it's still there from about a month ago, and more from tonight.

- Love, AppStateDisco
