Two things need to be noticed at the onset of this one:
1. My BFGs grip soft mud like you would not believe
and
2. The U joints on the front axle halfshafts had been recently replaced
Knowing these two things, one can only imagine the effect massive front tire grip
might have on 12 year old axle halfshafts with brand new U joints. I didn't think it
possible, but I snapped the right front axle halfshaft at this convenient location.

One minute I've got plenty of power and momentum, and the next...

Notice the annoyingly familiar disgruntled look. You can't tell from the picture,
but I'm wearing a "Ford: The Best Trucks Ever Built" shirt. How ironic...

The quote of the day comes from my friend Scotty, pictured here:
"Ooo, this can't be good."

Honestly, I can't remember who that other guy is, but he's helping us "scope out the situation".
In other words, we have no idea how we're getting out of this one without help.

The rear of the truck was in considerably more water than the front.
All things considered, it could be worse...

Just a reminder: Those are 30" tires...

Yes, this picture was intentional. I'm about 6 feet tall. No, you can't see my knees.

I wish I had pictures of us actually getting the truck out of this, it was pretty impressive. We were under a bit of a time limit, as it was due
to rain early the next morning, and the water was already high enough to do some damage.We had seven people, including myself,
pushing on the back with another person romping on the gas. This was at about 11:00pm, hunched down waist deep in water,
pushing a two ton truck with only one tire getting power (no locking diff), in April. In the rain.
