Carnage!

This Saturday the wife and I went for a little wheeling trip to White Water Park at Keystone lake. It's a small off road park at the base of the dam. I've never been there and was hoping that there was something other that sand, but that wasn't the case. I was driving down the dry river bed covered in larger rocks and the truck was doing great. Then I got the skid plate on the front axle hung up on a rock. When I goosed it to go over it, the rear immediately started sinking. I tried to finesse it out but under the thin layer of rocks was soggy sand. Ended up getting the driver side pretty buried. Luckily there was a couple of nice country folks there noodling and I was able to talk one of the kids into letting me hook on to the bumper of his old Chevy truck and winch out. Winch pulled it right out with ease and I was out in no time. So technically, I wasn't pulled out by a Chevy, just used him as an anchor...

I tried to be careful of the rocks scratching the rims, but one still got caught up in the driver side front and scratched it all to hell. I was sort of waiting for this to happen so I could justify buying a 5th rim and tire for a full size spare, but didn't think it would happen this soon. Oh well, what's another $500? I'm just glad it was only one...

At least you are using the truck for what its meant for!

 

[truckin151]

You used the chevy as an anchor..... LMAO that is great!!! The wheel doesnt look "that bad" though.

I'm a little bummed, but it could have been worse. Just spent another $500 on a 5th rim and tire. I just wish the offroading part was better. I read online that it was a bunch of trails as well as sand. The trails looked fun if you were on an ATV...

Where are the wheeling pics?

 

[myoung84]

Didn't take any this time...

 

[Infidel]

Ouch that sucks but on the bright side you now have a full size spare...

 

[deadrock]

the scars give it character....each one tells a story. Although, this sounds like a story you'd rather not remember!

Nothing like a good off road trip leading to buying more stuff. At least it was something that you wanted not something you broke and have to replace

There is a reason sailors would quite literally throw a woman off the ship if they found one hiding as a stowaway or dressed to pass as a man in the old days: they are bad luck on a boat.

When you play..sometimes you pay.
