Got stuck in a drop zone trying to help someone stuck in a smaller truck:

Wow! Now that's a transformation! She's a beautiful Ram. How long did it take you to clean her up?
AND, how long did it take them to get you out the muck?

Not my truck, but a customers. It was out there for two days.

Took me about 7 hours. I estimate 80-100lbs of crap came off the under carriage. You couldn't even see the brake calipers. Everything underneath had 3-4 inches of concrete-like sand/clay stuck to it.
 
Nice work. Imagine dudes bill for recovery is going to be ... um... substantial... Probably the one for the clean up too...
He said he filed an insurance claim. Chrome on the wheels was damaged from spinning in the sand/rocks, as were the tires from spinning against recovery tracks. Front bumper pushed and is now touching the fenders and he had trouble getting the FWD to disengage.

Drove fine once I was done so I think something was jammed up by the concrete-like mud.
 
His tires weren't in the best shape to be sure but even if the Ridge Grapplers were new, I think once that 10,000# truck hit that soft wet clay/sand it was done for.
You are probably correct. Airing those tires down to single digit TP may have given him a chance unless he didn't want to scratch his fancy wheels. ;)
But he have been too far dug in by then.
