    He lost me!

    After you get it up off the ground I think I would wait until it dries up before moving it.

    Just block it up good.

    If you do decide to move it?
    Don't stop and dont try gabbing different gears or you will be stuck again.

    Grab the gear you want and go, go, go!

    Chain the axle up against the frame. When you air up the suspension in the rear axle it will lift the front axle and you can get a board under it.

    ahhhhh I see. cool. thanks! I've got just the chain for the job. hopefully the air bags will deflate enough though as if I remember correctly when the airs gone they didn't really seem to go down that much even after sitting for ahwile.

    well i guess dry is different for everyone, here and from my point of view it isn't. and i used quite a bit of leverage from the 2 jacks to get it up.. i guess you could say it's some what dry but i can still dig which around here there will be a point were the ground will get so dry you can no long dig at least not with a shovel. have to use a pic axe.

    I've got a few soft spots at.my place after a good rain. after getting stuck once I park else where on 3"rock, the rock is about the same as what the railroad use under ties and tracks.

    I'd like to throw some road base down where I was stuck. haven't made up my mind yet, the community might consider it free parking unless I add some other cosmetics items.
     
    joseph1853 and Oxbow Thank this.
