And I thought I was the only one up this time of day...ops night.
I might get a red mark (CP)...but I am color blind and they all look Money green to me.

Found the Zuki version, but am still looking for the Jeep and Hummer version.

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the trails,
Every 'Jeep was stranded,
Their progress like snails.

They had no shovels,
No rope and no winch,
No CB, no cell-phone,
To get out of their pinch.

When out from a mud pit,
There arose such a clatter;
All the 'wheelers came running
To see what was the matter.

I saw some poor 'Jeep
All covered in crud;
He had blown his motor
Getting free of the mud.

As he stood there I noticed
His glowing red face,
And I knew in an instant
He wanted out of this place.

I glanced at his roof,
It was all I could see;
He pleaded for help
From my winch and from me.

So I sprang to the front
Of my trusty Zuk Toy,
Spooled out the winch cable,
Said "Hook 'er up, boy!"

He went for a swim
In the watery hell,
And I laughed as he turned brown,
And started to smell.

He hooked up the cable
To his buried front hook,
I put a coat on the line
Like it says in the book.

I winched him out quickly,
A very fast session;
And I charged him a C-note,
To teach him a lesson.

I then drove my Zuk through
The same mud and same muck;
No problem for me,
'Cause I had a REAL truck!

I wound down my window
As I drove out of sight,
And smugly yelled "Next time
Stay home Christmas night!"

This is a cool one:

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all across the land,
Not a Jeeper was wheelin',
But hey, it's a Jeep thing, so you totally understand!

The rocks were a callin'
So without hesitation
I jumped in TACOZILLA
To get me some articulation!


The 42's were aired down
To 6 pounds of pressure
And the CO2 bottle filled
Just for good measure!


The place where I headed
I was told was a bit risky
But I knew it wasn't a problem
For I trusted the Dana60’s!


Besides, I had the Marlin Crawler
Which I could simply engage
not to mention the added protection
of the internal roll cage!


The rain that had fallen
Previously that day
Had made conditions nasty
But I said,"What the hey"!


But what do I find
As I entered the trail head?
It was a guy in a Chevy K5...
...his engine was dead.


He asked if I'd winch him
Back off of the trail
I felt sorry for the guy
So I said what the Hell!


I free spooled the winch
And chunked him the line
I chuckled as I told him,
"You're wastin' precious wheelin' time"!


I hit the "IN" switch
And the winch sucked him out
Back up to a safe spot
The guy looked like he was gonna pout!


I told him not to worry
As we unhooked the line
It was a very common problem...
...with a lot of K5's!


He checked out my rig
And was rather impressed!
He asked where all I've wheeled
So I went down the list.....


Well, there's been Disney...
and Clayton...and good ole Del Rio...
There was Hot Springs and Moab...
...not to mention Tellico!


He called for a tow truck
To get him back home
And then I jumped in TACOZILLA
As I was ready to roll!


I engaged the Marlin Crawler
Down into compound low
He said as I crawled by him
DAMN…that’s a SLO MO FO!


But, I hollered out my window
As I crawled outa sight...
"NEXT TIME GET A TOYOTA
AND YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT"!!!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
