getting stuck

[sidschev]

ok so i get stuck in my yard with my 84 what should i do . right wheel spins very easy all the time. im sick of getting stuck in my dang yard.
now in my 77 i put in a lunch box locker cause that dang thing was always stuck someplace it has no bed but i wore out a few tires pretty quickly.
any body else have this easy tire spinning problem.??????

Mudd terrains help allot. Question is, why are you in the yard? To Try to Spin doughnuts? That would be me.

I used to get stuck in the yard when I was a kid in my Chevette and c20. Have to jack it up and put boards under it. And both were open pipe, my neighbors loved me lol. Now almost everything is 4 wheel drive and I don't get stuck anymore, Just temporarily delayed.

Tires, throttle input, open diff, wet grass, uneven terrain. All of the issues lol

All terrains or highway tread with a really hard compound suck on wet grass. Even big heavy ass diesel trucks I've seen stuck in grass lol.

LS Swap. It won't prevent you from getting stuck in the yard but when you do it will be a lot more fun.

hahaha back forty cflearing its clay under dirt once you spin its over your not coming out...
I hate to but i quess ill swipe the locker out of the 77 and put it in the 84. sure hope i dont break axles...

Sid, sounds like you need some weight, like a ton of hay in the back, very hard to get stuck, but when you do......

Should explain, JD tractor slipped into a small pond, wife's truck stuck, got the K20, not stuck, but could not pull her out. Rescued by my son Nick in his FORD!!!. Had to winch out.

You have no bed? How about adding some ballast, maybe bolt down a piece of concrete? I recall years ago a Nissan Navara where a guy bolted a concrete curb somewhere in the rear to have traction in the winter. Or another Navara guy who carried a layer of pavement concrete tiles in bed

 

[sidschev]

i have a bed.. my uncle had a dozer blade in his ford that thing never got stuck...

 

[TotalyHucked]

Yep, weight and mud tires might work without changing the diff but I'd go ahead and start planning for a locker of some kind.

 

[sidschev]

im just afraid of busting the axles and i dont wanna buy c clip eliminators but may have to invest some moola into a gear locker and c clip eliminators. i hate breaking axles always happens in a bad spot also chewing up tires is not what i like .....

from ancient driver's ed;

slowly apply the parking brake

this is supposed to simulate traction on the spinner and cause the other wheel to get a little love from the open diff.

if the parking brake is adjusted correctly and evenly, you might get lucky.

so many pontiac grand prix, buick regal, olds cutlass (mid 80s) that i drove in/on muddy driveways.

good luck!
