So, I unloaded the last 3 hives I moved this afternoon, closed the tailgate on the truck, got in the driver's seat.............and promptly buried the thing in the mud! :roll:
Called my wife on the cell, walked out to the road and she picked me up and now I'm at home. Truck will have to sit out there, all alone

Wish I knew someone with a 4 x 4 that was into doing a road trip!
Any takers??? :|

If I had any in the truck I woulda tried 'em. She's in there good. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get it out without having to call a tow truck (= $$$)

Will it not freeze enough to come out tonight? Maybe bring it out early in the morning.

you mean like a jeep wrangler sport 4 x 4?

?.......... :lol:
i wouldn't make it there in time......

how about someone with a bigger 4x4 with a winch on it?...... but then they'd have to have a trailer to haul it to wherever you are stuck in the mud....

It's only dropping to 34 F tonight, not enough to freeze. It supposed to go down to 17 F tomorrow night and that might do it.
Maybe if we just all put our thoughts together at one time, and concentrated really really hard.......Naw, ain't gonna happen with this group! :lol:

Boy, I would surely help if I were close. I had to use my 4x4 to get back to the yard today. I just bought a 18500 lb tow strap too, dang, could have tried it out.

A cheap set of nylon chains. Take a piece of 3/8" or 1/2" nylon rope 25' long. wrap it around the wheel tie the 2 ends together and do it to both back wheels and it will give you the extra traction needed to move thru Ice, snow, or mud. Cable tv, extension cords, or house wire, also works. what ever you have handy.

Quick take it down to the car wash so all the doors freeze shut when the cold weather hits.
Its not even very muddy.

Perry · « **Reply #11 on:** December 07, 2013, 12:32:15 pm »

There's a few pounds of mud packed underneath there, and you should see the front of the hive that I had unloaded right behind the truck! :shock: :roll:

LOL Perry.. that sucks.... Your a LONG ways from me, but I'd make the trip if I had to...

I have my normal truck.. an 89 chevy 4x4... call her black betty.. has ten leafs in the rear for towing capacity I added myself.. rebuilt it, new trans etc.. painted it, and when the paint was 3 days old I was moving a pole barn. the end of one of the telephone poles fell off and bounced.. hit the side of the truck denting it.. made me sick.. but not as bad as if it had been a new 40K truck.....

last spring I bought a 94 K3500.. built a 489 for it, aluminum heads etc..., put some good dirt/mud tires on it to use to haul WOOD up out of the bottoms or the horse trailer etc... DOnt have a pic of it yet, but it's built for sticky situations...
My wife has an 04 Dodge with 35k miles on it because I WONT touch it, wont even PLOW with it, though it has a new snow plow on it... I OWN a truck to WORK with.. I dont want a 4x4 Cadilac.. a truck has rubber floor mats instead of carpet.. roll up windows instead of power. AM/FM radio with a CD player, not Blue Tooth etc.. A TRUCK, costs less than you payed for your first house, and is USED to pull friends out when they get stuck

if all that didnt work I suppose I could get the MUD truck out; hehe, sorry about the video quality.. my filmer got excited.. NO other trucks had made it through the mud pit that day, of 49 trucks only TWO made it through in that class, both were me

Next class the guy filming won as I videoed,, hit the next arrow after watching thois one to see that.
