There were many factors in this. Time, money, rigs avalaible to come out there. Rigs that could actualy MAKE it out there, terrain. And most of all i just didnt know that wheel was burryed in the mud that solid. I figured it was in a hole and it would pop up with enough force. But saddly no the only way it came out was by breaking the leaf and alowing the axle to rotate and drag.

I will never hit a mudhole again. Its that simple. I like rocks and unless u have a fullsize chevy or somethen on 44" tires with d60s and 14 bolt rear mud will destroy you. I hate goen into somethen under water that i cant see.

Im sure a crane coulda pulled me out just fine. But i dont think one could have made it out there and for the pricetag of like 1000 bucks to rent one... i donno.

anyhow whats done is done.
