To all Chevy Owners, it's gonna' be alright.

Cute little jeep you got there. Wow 33's you say. those were able to fit on my truck when it was stock.
I wouldnt get to excited pulling a little blazer with stock street tires, or any suv with LT tires out. That thing shouldnt qualify as an SUV. More of a large car with 4wd. Most people have no clue how to even drive a vehicle off road.

I have pulled more than a few jeeps and some small want to be suvs out of the orchard by my house. Hell pulled almost everything out including some subarus. They see that mud field and think, I can do that. Funny when there jammed up to the wells and have to climb out the window and through the field to stand around and wave people down then beg to get pulled out. One dude lost his shoes

Sometimes a ford f250 superduty with a v10 is required. Have not needed to get pulled out in many years, but I have been wheeling since 16. One of these days I would love to do a tug of war with a jeep in a mud field. No one ever wants to

Just messing with you jeep boys. You guys have your place. I couldnt make it through the whole rubicon trail in my old truck, but some of the jeep guys did. Also when we were out at hollister hills park they would some times roll down 5 fingers trying to get up to the top. We would prop them back up, pour in a few quarts of oil and off they went again. No trucks I know are doing that to often, however thats only true jeeps.

Nice Jeep.

I'm still trying to figure out where ""....in a very muddy field"" is.

Looks like a Park picnic area in that picture!!

I could pull a full size pick up too if I had a 14 bolt and V-10 motor in my Cherokee!

Nice looking ride, Stig! I have a 95 with 4.5" lift and 32's. No sexy Bushwackers, though.

But you dont and thats the point I was trying to make. Jeeps are great in certain situations. Jeeps can make it through smaller rock trails and often better then trucks. However sometimes a jeep isnt going to get the job done do to its limitations. They are very durable though as to being able to be rolled and keep going. Well atleast the old CJ's are. I am guessing the new ones still retain most of that characteristic.

OOOO besides that I would never buy a chevy. Just not a fan of the way they build their trucks. Owned 2 when younger and that was two too many.

Yeah I wheel my jeep a lot, and I avoid mud like its the plauge. Just not suited for it.

I'm in Central CT, about an hour from Springfield

It was an open field in Sudbury Mass. About 150 camped out and the field gradualy deteriorated over 3 days.

My 78 FJ40 has pulled out more jeeps than I can count. I think more than the vehicle, usually driver error caused by inexperience is the problem. It's still a lot of fun.
