I say go for it. It's time we get back to people having pride in their work and showing off their accomplishments. If it was easy everyone would do it and it wouldn't be special. You my friend have the machine and the skill to do not only a good thing but something that others can't. Be proud. Far too often in America people are told to be "normal." What those people are saying is "don't get ahead of me." I say show off and do something special and encourage others to excel as well.

Actually I have changed my mind. I think you should go for it. Get your stickers made. These sort of stickers serve as quick wanna be identifiers.

Plus, the guys with the stickers on the truck get to feel all manly about it while everybody else gets a good chuckle. It's a win win situation.

dont worry mark, just like the removal of my front bumper, addition of stickers and the other mechanical modifications of my land cruiser, i did it because it looks cool. feel free to stop listening anytime

How about a sticker that just says "KWalkerM SAVED MY ASS with HIS LANDCRUISER" and put it on their bumper.

I think it would be more fun to count the number of times you've been pulled out after doing something stupid or most embarrassing stuck. I was rescued by a volvo stationwagon once, that was pretty damn embarrassing w/ a hot chick in my passenger seat.

If we're talking about that...

When I still had the little 235 street tires that came on my 60, I got stuck in a ditch in my parents' driveway and needed a tug from my dad's VW golf to get out.

Open diffs and 'might as well be racing slicks' style street tires don't mix well with extreme off-camber and muddy turf...

I had to get my deuce and a half pulled out by a Vespa.

I used to have a soft spot at the edge of my driveway and the road every year during breakup. At one time or another I got both my 3/4 ton suburban and my FJ55 stuck in my own driveway.

I once towed a VW Beetle on the street with my 1946 Indian Chief.

Lockers did nothing but ensure that each wheel got an equal coat of mud

Joe Garney dragged me and my ATV down off the mountain with his
Iditarod team once when I got snowed in while out hunting. He lost his belt knife in a tumble off the sled on the way down, So I gave him my (favorite...hand made) knife as a thank you.

That vid reminded me of the 2010 Alaska Cruiser Trek..

I developed a starter problem that defied diagnosis for a day... Maybe two... Turned out to be internal corrosion in a soldered on cable terminal. Anyway until we figured it out, every time I shut my rig down, Ratpuke would have to toss me a strap and give a quick pull start.
After doing this a few times she found it boring So for fun she refused to stop and let me unhook but decided to drag me down the trail behind her instead.

Four wheel disc brakes and 18 inch wide boggers under a very heavily loaded rig can apply a lot of anchoring force... And I got to laugh in turn as I watched her thrown forward in her seat belt as I slammed everything to a stop.

No drive way? That is how I usually get to the garage. You just wanted an excuse to buy a winch

I've been stuck in my parking spot beside my house a few winters ago.

I had neglected shovelling my spot for a few storms and fell off the ruts. My 4runner tires were jammed between the packed down (ice) ruts and the siding of the house. I got a tug from my buddy.

The first pic should have been right side up. This one should be upside down.

My mom's cousin had a ski/fishing boat that had the engine cut out in the middle of a lake once. We towed it back to shore with the Hobie 18. Is this thread chat yet?

Wasn't this thread chat from the start?

And with an iPad, the picture keeps turning upside down so I cant see it. The negatives of tecnology.
