How in the heck does a "I"m stuck" post become political? or contravertial. I think we all need to get out a gun and go shoot something, before we go crazy.. I still stand by the, "buy a ford" idea. End of problem.

That's kind of funny with you living in Gardner, last time I checked that was still in Jo Co. I'd much rather have JO tags than those Show-Me Plates!!!!
Oh I feel the "love" every time I am out west and people see the stickers!

I've been chiming in here and there. Don't check the site too often during the off season but I'm ready to get the fat dog trimmed down a bit. I swear my GWP is the fattest I've ever seen her. I think it was either raining or 100 degrees all summer long... We didn't get out much...
The family is well. We have the happiest baby anybody has ever seen, and my older kiddo is ready to start tagging along on (brief) Fall hunts.
I'll be in the Dodge City area the second weekend of December (as always). Unfortunately I will probably be flying solo since my best hunting buddy will be enjoying sandy beaches for the next year. I would love to hook up with you out there if you are around then. Give me a call or PM some time.

I'll keep that in mind. I need someone with some expert advice on chasing the early season chickens anyway!

Getting stuck sucks, that's why I have this for late season hunting.
"What? Those aren't my ruts." Sorry fords and dodges cost a little extra to pull out.

It pours, man it pours! Lol. Yep '73 k5 custom cab, 454 big block with headers edelbrock intake and 4 barrel, 4 speed granny gear tranny, and a Lincoln locker rear. We only get about 12' of rain on a good year in cen cal, so its just for fun. Plus at 4mpg I can't afford to drive it to much.

LOL, I didn't think that was your hunting vehicle, besides my Dodge wouldn't have any problem pulling out that beast, it pulls out all makes of trucks just fine!
I'm only pushing about 425hp right now, installed a 2.5" level kit and run Nitto Terra Grapplers. I don't think that I'm going to have any problems with mud, and yes my vehicle does see the mud and muck!RuttCrazed

Kiotehntr,
Do you have any problems with those wide tires eating the paint off the quarter and rocker panels of your truck, especially on gravel roads? I don't know if I had bad luck or a bad paint job but the 33X10.50 tires on my last truck tore the paint to pieces.

I really haven't traveled any major gravel roads as of yet. When I do have to travel on gravel I just slow her down and try to stay out of the loose stuff. Just been towing the boat back and forth to tournaments and so far it's been all blacktop or pavement. I'll get a set of color matched fender flares here in the next month or so before season starts and then I won't worry about it.

i wouldnt even take that baby out hunting or mudding!!!
id make my current GMC my hunting truck if i had a new truck sitting in my driveway.
and yah, my GMC hasnt gotten stuck and its bone stock factory with cooper discover tires on it... 57K miles and still has tread on them. i asked for 6 plys instead of their normal 4 plys to make it last longer on gravel roads. i had 4 plys firestones before and they chewed up in 20K miles. 57K on my coopers 6 plys and going strong! ive only been stuck ONCE.... in my own driveway when we had 17 inch snow drift and i thought i could get out fast enuf, but i got hung up and centered, shoveled out the snow out from underneath where the frame is, and bingo, got out.

Yeah she looks nice, but I bought a truck to do what a truck should do. I'll be running coyotes once we get some snow and I'll be traveling the same ole' no maintenance roads as soon as season arrives. I will take it a little easier on this truck, my 08 Ram ate plenty of mud and snow though.

This is the newest addition to the fleet, after a near miss last year I decided to pull the trigger!

You guys keep your trucks too clean. I try to wash mine once in the Spring, whether it needs it or not. After that, I let the rain take care of it.
Here's a pic from last year's trip to Dodge City. When snow melts on a mimimum maintenance road, well... Everything is smooth sailing in the morning, but the afternoons can be a little dicey.

All these pics of nice trucks got me motivated yesterday and I went out and washed my truck! I was pleasantly surprised to find out it is actually white!
