ok this is a thread i want to start for every one to post there worst stucks, i have no pics to post of mine because i never think of taking pic every time i'm stuck.

I got the old man's tractor stuck plus the 50' of harrows because I drove through a low spot in the spring. Same spot different year the old man got his 4x4 stuck up to the bottom of the doors. I wheelied the tractor but got him out in a heartbeat..... do these stories count?
As for the jeep I got it stuck in about 8 inches of snow with the stock tires, it was disapointing.
not me

first stuck experience of my life. drove my dads 2wd ford truck through some muddy grass field behind my highschool when i was 16. went fine one direction. went back and got stuck. could not get it out on our own. had to walk a few blocks away to a gas station just before it closed to call my parents. i was covered in mud. my parents showed up the same time the tow truck got there. got me out no problem. my dad paid the 52$ for the bill.
from that day on i vowed i would always drive a 4wd. i would never wheel alone. and i would always keep my head on straight when i was wheeling. 13 years later i still have the receipt from the tow truck as a reminder:)

why can't we post pic it seems like i get shut down lot on this site i think i need to go read the rules!!

Haha, never been stuck offroad yet. I almost pulled a fully locked Rubicon out though ;D
The reason we cant post pics is due in part to the current atmosphere towards offroading in Alberta, we don't want to place any ammunition in the hands of those who would use those pictures to close more trails. Even though the pictures you post can be on a completely legal trail, the can and will be maipulated by those who are in opposition to a completely legal sport.
My worst stuck: Blew both front CV's so bad there was nothing left when 4PlayZJ fixed my axle, front shock was messed up too. Barely able to get it off the trail to the flatdeck.

My worst stuck was my very first time offroad and the funny thing about it, was that I was at the Jeep Jamboree in Rocky and on the eep 101 trail. We all came down the hill to the final obstacle and it just happen to be about 150 m of good ol' Rocky muskeg. Our first trail guide tries it, get stuck (33s) and winches across. The next trail guide tries (33s, lockers fr and rear), gets stuck and winches across. I was 2nd in line for participants and they got me through at about 6 pm and there were still about 10 jeeps to get across and it jeep was taking about 15 mins per Jeep to get through the muskeg. Oh yeah, one of the trail guides winches was starting to overheat after 2 pulls
After I was across they told me to head up the hill, take a right, and it will take you back to basecamp. What they did not tell me was that the 1st hill was starting to get a little slick, there was another mud hole, and another hill after that. Needless to say my little YJ on my 235 AT/S did not cut it and I got stuck in the mud hole.
Walked back down to tell the trail guides and they decided to get on the HAMs and call in the reinforcements. 3 Jeeps on 35s and 1 jeep on 44 boggers. Now remember this was back in 2000 and 33s were a good size tire and 35s was big and 44 were HUGE!! So they setup a string of tow Jeeps; the Jeep on 44s for the muskeg, one for the first hill, another for the mud hole and the last one for the final hill. My dad and I stayed behind and to help the guides out hooking up the tow straps. By the time we got the last jeep onto the road it was about 10:30 pm. Ask Steve (can't remember his webname) what it is like to be towed up a hill behind a Jeep on 44s :o
Oh and just to give you guys an idea of how bad the muskeg was, the jeep on the 44" boggers at one point had to use his 12,000lbs winch to help him pull an XJ through. He was fumed off that day because the trail he guided was kind of dry. By the time he was finshed pulling 10 Jeeps across, he Jeep was black and the only part of his body that was not covered in mud was his right leg and the area around his eyes where his glasses were.
As it turned out the Jeep 101 trail was one of the hardest that day

most embarassing stuck too? maybe that is why you are such a baby, and won't go through holes now?
-
hahahaha, yea, better steer clear, only thing more embarassing might be getting tugged out by a Trevor driven XJ
only holes with 6" thick ice buddy.

that would be embarassing.... especially if you were trying to make it up a small ledge.

On my roof in a crevice that was 8 feet deep over by heralds place. That one was interesting to get back over.

Pics or none of this happened ;D

Worst stuck ever was a couple of years ago on maylong. I was driving a '86 ranger with 31's at the time and I decided to cross a small puddle in the middle of a large field, where approximately 100 or so people were camping. I had crossed this puddle before but apparently someone with 44" tires had done so since then. Needless to say halfway across the right side of the hood went completely under water, submerging the air intake and proceeding to hydraulic a couple of cylinders. Fortunately a couple of nice fellas with a grand cherokee pulled me out. Cost me my second motor in that truck >:( Funny part was I was the 3rd person to kill his truck in that tiny 3ft deep puddle that weekend :'(
