Default Ran into a bit of trouble...

Went out mudding monday, alone, and got stuck. Man, I wish I had pics! After 2 1/2 hours I got pulled out by a guy with a 4wheeler. I was in about 1 1/2' mud with the frame on a rock. After I got out of that, I went out witha buddy. Trying to crawl over a log in about 1' of mud, all of a sudden....BANG!!!! Blew both front axles. Luckally he was able to pull me out. Got them both changed, and now I just have to straighten my push bar. Should be already to go again this weekend. Ill make sure I have a camera next time.

That was your first mistake. Going offroading alone is never a good idea. I hope you learned your lesson with that and will bring someone else with you next time. You never know what can happen when you are out alone offroading, even if you are seasoned veteran. I don't even recommend a TB only. A second vehicle accompanying you is always the safest route.
