I took two of my sons on their first wheelin trip this weekend(Apr 17/18). We were in the Geo. Wash. Nat'l Forest in Va. I told them about this dry creek bed we were headed to that should prove a good test. On the way we came across a father and son who had brole down in an old GMC truck. Battery cables fried. We loaded them up and took them to their cabin about 3 miles away. No big deal. Thats what wheelin is all about. Back to the dry creek bed. We are almost there, about half a mile away when we round a bend and there are two guys standing in the middle of the trail. They had spent the nite in their truck because they toasted the clutch getting un-stuck. Further inspection revealed a toasted tranny, too. They were about 11 miles from the nearest paved road at this point. So, I got out the strap and towed them to an ATV unloading area (about five miles). Then I gave them a ride into town so they could get their truck back. The truck was a 2000 Nissan 4x4 with the off-road package. But it didn't even have a tow hook anywhere. :shrug Some off-road package. My boys weren't really pleased but I told them you gotta help a fellow wheeler when they need it. The next day was much more fun. :thumbup
