baaaahahahah

maybe you could steal the HARDCORE dana 44's off it:p

"water over the valve stems may cause vehicle to stall"you wont see that on the commercial;)

A picture is worth a thousand words.........:flipoff2:

Bawahahahahaha

"I don't need another vehicle, winch, hi-lift, or straps because I bought a rubicon"

:laughing:

I bet that was the FIRST time the owner ever went "off roading"...:rolleyes:

Notice the nice shine... had to be the first mud puddle he saw that day. GOOD FIND!

Wow.. I'm just used to finding Jeep PARTS in the woods, not whole Jeeps! :p

Actually, a friend of mine is buying one.. after sinking $10K into his Tacoma pickup, he found the Jeep to be better for the moderate wheeling he does. All it needs is a small lift and 33's to be decent.

Mud sucks.

Hey, cut the guy some slack -- he appears to have made it at least 8 inches into the water hole before he got stuck...

:rolleyes:

sad thing is, the vehicle is probably a bit capable, the driver was just inept.....

remember, it's not what you drive, it's whether or not you know how!

either way tho....TOO Funny!!!

I agree, but seriously, I don't see why he's stuck. I know, hard to tell from photos -- see below, tell me why my 55 is asleep on her side.

But still, even if he goes into the hole unlocked, and sticks it, lock it up and drive it out. Crappy tires maybe.

Where's that pic from. I'm originally from Sugar Land and I didn't know there were any places to "wheel"..... even though it looks like it's just mud.

Somebody should have gotten a shot of the odometer to see how many miles it had on it :-D

Or yanked it out and pulled it off the trail so the driver would be like, WTF when he got back :flipoff2:

Doesn't even look like he slung any goo attempting escape...

Ha! Good point.

I've heard a pig can be taught to roll over and play dead?
Maybe yours knows this trick?
What's gonna be bad is when his t case goes out, and Chrysler finds "mud or water" inside and informs the owner this is not covered under his warranty.

Seriously you dont know why it is stuck??? Ever heard of high centering? Dont do much wheeling in the mud do you? Remember that jeep only has 31's on it.:rolleyes:

Nah, not much mud at Tellico, rocks either... :laughing:

I guess there may be an obstacle under there that really has him high centered, you may be right.

TJK

No bullet holes? Wow, that guy got lucky, then!

i would bet that they never engaged the lockers.

Me too. The question then is, do they know they even have them? Wouldn't surprise me to find out the answer is no.

Even better they may know they have them but they dont know what they do....

Not sure which is worse... :shaking:

TJK

Oh come on, maybe he just ran out of gas.:flipoff2:

Probably just a bunch of kids trying to have a good time until they got stuck and had to head home. Unfortunately been there too, but truck didn't have lockers. Too bad, you live and learn.

Shit, i've gone through mud pits 3-4 feet deep in the fj-62, all longer than that one. My best guess is that he tried to crawl through it, and gave up to quick and sunk. With 31" tires thats possible, but then again, thats the size on my 62 but mine are only toyo open country at's, agressive, but still at's, arnet the rubicons supposed to come with MTR's or something? Im sure it was definately jus the driver, and not a bunch of kids mind u, kids would get scared and jus floor it, thats what i did my first time, course i havent gotten stuck yet, JUST SUCKED MUD INTO THE ENGINE, lol, yet it still runs fine, never heard that from a jeep boy.


lol

I had a 99TJ (I know death to jeeps) the breather for the tranny on a auto is UNDER the out put for the tranny go in to bumper deep water stop (or get stuck) shift gears once or twice and BOOM NO MORE TRANNY AND YES JEEP WILL NOT COVER IT TO THE TOON OF $2500.00 WORCE YET I DID EVEN MAKE MY 3RD PAYMENT YET:( ... sucks to be him or me then




o ya i had 2in 32 muders and lockers still no go you know how much that tow was:eek: WOW

I'd bet the dude doesn't know he has lockers. Plus, don't they come with a winch too? Guess he does know what that spool of cable is for.

TJK - WTF - way cool man. Was it like a turned over turtle that couldn't get up? No, not you, the truck :flipoff2:

Heep Boobicon! :rolleyes:

Another reason to wheel in numbers.

So someone doesn't take a picture of your stuck rig....hehe :flipoff2:

Later.

Ken S.

They may have been wheeling in numbers, but no body wanted to get dirty hooking up the yank strap.

Much better to go get help:rolleyes:
Fawkin Jeep drivers:flipoff2: :D

The throttle position sensor went out along with the A/C clutch, but that's what the warrenty if for. After we yanked it out of the water, I let everything drain, started bumping it to see if it really wanted to start, after four or five bumps, it cough a couple of times, so I floored it and turned it over, it started right up and shot a couple of gallons of water out of the muffler. It idled normally and drove home fine. The next day was when it started acting funny(enough time for the water to get into stuff), so I brought it in to the dealership and they fixed it.

I didn't expect the water to be that deep. When we got home, my little girl(3) told her momma "water was coming alllllll in the jeep"


It was one of those "bet you won't hit it" holes:D :D

That's as funny as that drowned H2 somebody posted a few weeks ago!:laughing:

I dont see any reason why you are stuck IYJ, its only a couple inches deeper than the mud the Rubicon is in:flipoff2:

AWESOME STUFF

people over here are crappin on about how good its gunna be :rolleyes:

landcruisers get similar axles stock for 20 years :flipoff2: optional lockers, optional winch!! :D

if it had D60s, id be taking it with me ;)

It's awfully clean....looks like they tried to tready a bit too lightly and "crawl" the mud puddle.

No mud in front tread....looks like they never spun a front tire...so it must be in 2WD...


Went up Antero in CO and a Jeep Sahara passed us...later we passed him on side of trail---overheated...he had it in 4HI the whole time and didn't know what 4LO was...we "helped" him learn a bit....that jeep only 500 miles on it....bought it in Salida area and went up Antero the next weekend to impress his neighbors....LOL...the neighbors were more impressed with OUR rigs...they thought my runner was cute and couldn't believe my brother was running a fullsize longbed ford up there....

rubicon looks high centered to me....but still, no evidence of an attempt to escape...

where that h2 picture! good for my collection of stuck junk pics :flipoff2:

should submit pic to the various mags for a worst stuck...
or should it be poorest stuck ? :confused:

Deep water BAD... :D

The 'ole 2F was still running, but my diff was stuck on a rock. Mucho thanks to all my friends for helping me out! :)

Pucker, pucker...

TJK

hahaha
