If a dirt road has no gravel, make sure it's dry before driving on it. And don't leave your truck on one, if you think it's going to rain. It takes just one rotation to pack the tire treads, and that stuff won't spin off.

I mean c'mon, I live in the south and drive through nasty stuff and dirt roads all the time... Ended up in the ditch after about 100 yards and completely buried in 4wd. Sure glad the only guy that lived within a mile of there had a big tractor.

He didn't seem upset, showed little emotion. He tore the hell out of his field and ditch in the process of getting me out... it was a big (probably 100 horse) 2wd tractor. We were SUPER grateful, thanked him 100 times, and offered money and gifts but he did not accept it. I felt awful about it, but we had no other options and he was kinda obligated bc I don't know where else we would've walked. It was 3/4 mile from my truck and no other house in sight.
