Default New and Stuck in the Mud :(

Hey all, the name is Josh. Im visiting Alaska on vacation and drove up here with my jeep. I was playing around in Nelchina, and got the rig stuck in the mud Just not enough clearance unfortunately. 3 inch lift with 31's i guess doesn't cut it out here haha. I hitchhiked to palmer and am staying in a motel, and was hoping that someone might have time to come winch me out this weekend. I'll pay of course

Need a Jeep rescue please. It's about 2 miles off the glen hwy about 60 miles north east of palmer

My number is 952-297-2398. Thank you!

Im still waiting to hear back from Rocky to see if he was able to find someone to go with him. Worst case, I guess I'm loading up the bronco and heading out past MATANUSKA GLACIER

I would lend a hand but my truck is tied up at the moment, if the Jeep is broke for whatever reason I have a tow rig and trailer if it is needed to get it back to Palmer.

If it comes to that, we'll just load his jeep onto my trailer, and i'll drive the bko on the road... to palmer anyways... the bko doesn't even have plates anymore...lol

He says he's just high centered so, I doubt it will be anything to crazy.... plus he was able to get to where he's at in a jeep with 31s on it... realistically, you could prob get to him, and get him out, in a bone stock full size pickup with a winch...

Welp... Rocky has his rig barried. Cody's winch line broke, and he can't get back up a hill apparently.

So... Curtis and I are heading up at first light to go retrieve the retrievers... and hopefully the original retrievee as well. There isn't shit for cell phone up there, but texts seem to work from time to time.

I am going to post a picture of where it is were at, and if no one has heard from us by late Saturday... we may need more riggs.

I'm going to post a picture of where they are supposedly at for reference... It appears to be directly passed gunsight mountain on the left..
