Sunday my oldest grandson and I took our Jeep Cherokee up to one of the mountain lakes a few miles from the house. We actually had to go into 4 wheel drive once on the way to the lake but most of the road was not bad. Spent a couple hours bank fishing and caught some real nice trout and we headed home. Got thru the "bad" section and were headed down when we came around a corner and found a Suzuki Samurai stuck in a muddy section. Now this was not just your normal Suzuki ----- It had a chrome bush bar, chrome skid plate, chrome winch, chrome wheels, chrome roll bar with 6 off road lights and was painted like a Zebra. Two people in white slacks were ankle deep in the mud trying to get the winch to unreel and when I blew the horn one of them fell down. I stopped, looked the situation over and put the Jeep in 4 wheel high and went off the road, over the bank of the ditch, across the muddy creek (about axle deep) back up the bank and back on the road and then I stopped and advised them that the road did get worse a little further up. After one of them gave me a hard time for "making him fall down" and slinging mud on his "truck" he asked me for a tow. I asked if he had a cell phone and when he replied that he did I gave him the number of a local towing company and left them there in the mud.

Nine year old grandson said as we pulled away ---- If you had asked Grandpa politely he would have helped but since you are nasty you can walk.

Love my Grandkids.

:rofl: Now that's funny! Kudos to you Booky!

When I was stationed at Ft. Hood, my neighbor and I would go 'wheelin' almost every weekend. Which ever one of us got stuck, would have to buy the beer for that night.

One time he called me and asked if I could come pull him out. He told me where he was and I went and picked him and his buddy up and took them to his truck. As I pulled up, there was a pack of smokes floating level with the speedometer. :wow: :rofl:

He tried for 3 days to get it to run (while his wife spent the same amount of time cleaning it up). Finally he gave up and called a wrecker to have it towed to the dealer.

Seems that Nissan put the onboard computer under the drivers seat and once under water, it shorted out.

Once fixed, his wife made him sell it and buy a small econo car. :rofl2[1]:
