Gomer, you did say we could laugh at your expense!
It does look like you eased into that mud hole going 1mph, spun the tires one time, and then requested back up 😂
So, now that I'm home and can type.....
I was easing down the road and had already gone through a similar hole that had a hard bottom. When I got to this one, I assumed it would be about the same, so I didnt hit it with nearly enough speed. I was in 4wd but didnt have the diff locked. Once it came to a stop I tried backing out but it wouldn't budge. Tried forward and reverse, tried it with wheels cut both ways, no luck. There was about a 15' gouge between the ruts where the rear diff had dragged but eventually I went far enough that the wheels just couldn't hit bottom at any longer. I tried going forward and backward, left and right but just couldn't get any grip. After about 15 min of trying to unstick it myself, I figured it was time to call for backup. If I'd been going a little faster I think I'd have made it. That's what I get for trying to baby it, but trucks are a lot more expensive than they used to be, so...
And dammit, those Falkens do good for an AT tire, as long as they can touch bottom! But when I wear these out I'm tempted to get the Wildpeak MT's, now that I dont do a ton of hwy driving in this truck.
