    So you knew a good size pothole was there ... and drove through it... and found out it is now deeper than you remember? Lucky you didn't crush your fuel tanks ...

    That dirt lot is a do not enter zone...unless you can do it from the other entrance and park and not have to drive through what you did.
    Try over between the truck washes. It's tight. But it's paved. Good burger at king city restaurant there. Try the burger sauce on the side and dip the fries in it. Very good and good price. Walk to flying j for your shower.

    There has always been an enormous pothole there. I didnt realize that someone has started a strip mining operation since the last time I went through.

    I do not think any truck could pull itself out of that hole with the way the right front outside drive was impacting the bottom of the trailer, and the left landing leg was impacting the ground.

    The free wheels were spinning with absolutely no effect whatsoever. The truck would not even move an inch on it's own.

    I get that, but following the tire tracks in your pics that front end would have dropped down significantly, pretty much on the bumper. At that time wouldn't it have been clear to stop? I'm surprised you got that far.

    It was clear that there might be an issue, yes, I just was not fully comprehending how serious the issue was. I do not have a great deal of off-road experience in the truck.

    Now I have more.
