This Hopelessly Stuck 4Runner Turned Into A Captivating, Muddy Rescue Thanks To Facebook's Off-Road Community

Getting stuck in the mud is seldom noteworthy. But every once in a while someone gets their vehicle so prodigiously stuck, in a place that is so preposterously far from civilization, in the nastiest and slipperiest mud imaginable, that it draws the attention of people from all over. Such is the...

First I've heard of it. Sounds like he was damn lucky to get his vehicle out and that he got the help that he did.

That type of mud, well most mud, lol, clogs the treads and you now have "slicks" so zero traction, not a ground clearance issue in this case

Some "HD" chains may have got you going again in this situation, surprised I didn't see rescue vehicles with chains on or maybe I missed it

I wonder if it is kinda bottomless crap. If that was my Raptor I would have wanted to turn my truck around and pull the right way. Same for the Toyota pickup. And they did not want the 4R helping, they dragged him in neutral from a great distance. I wonder if the three Jeeps and Dodge from the first trip had horror stories about getting off of a track and/or being too aggressive with tires spinning. That had to be a nightmare that night... I wish they had a camera crew with like the second group.
