Regmaglitch Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi Nate, Sorry to hear you got bogged down at Wilcox Playa. (that's why I always carry a spade in the truck, been there, done that) Did you take any pictures? Did you find any maybe-meteorites? Tell us more about your trip. Wishing you firmer footing, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i called my old man to come help well he brought 2 Bord's and no floor jack so after 4 hours of me doing and using the jack i had. So we called it a night..I worried all night about someone taking my jeep woke up the next day hired my friends to come help me get it out... we bout Capet ,chain link fence and bords...well here where it get funny so the friends bout there van well tried anyways we made it 23 mills and the van dies.... :confused0013: :confused0013: .

Regmaglitch Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Nate, I swear, some trips tend to be better for cussing than hunting! You have my sympathies, what a way to break in your jeep. Many years ago, I used to go through a real boggy area that was much worse than Wilcox Playa. For traction, we used to carry two rolls of hardware cloth. When we'd start to dig into the soft stuff, one of us would get out and roll out the hardware cloth, instant road. I hope you a least found some maybe's for your trouble.

fredmason Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 We call them hookers when you have to pay... for their "help"... Glad you got your car back safely...did you charge for the 60 mile tow??? Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paseclipse Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 next day hired my friends to come help me get it out... Nate you "hired" your friends to help you out? Thats BS! A "friend" will help you out anytime without charge. Of course they might whine and bitch about it, but hey thats what friends are for right? Getting stuck always sucks, been there done that! Crap rolls downhill buddy and I think you just happened to be at the bottom of the hill this time around. It's a good idea to check the condition of the lake bed before you drive on it. Look at the surface and have a feel of the soil before you drive on, if it's a little damp stay off. Do not drive onto anything that looks questionable. Another thing you might want to think about is a good set of offroad tires for your Jeep. Trust me, I learned the hard way! :postdigger: If your doing this hobby a good set of offroad tires is a must. Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Jag, first impression had me wondering, but realizing it was post from Nate I adjusted for the worst fo-net-tic spelling imaginable...but, as I said he is to be commended for a good heart and becoming a very good finder of space rocks...
