MORE SPEED!! looks like fun though even with the chains on, u got chains for the rear as well? through a winch on and then you can get that last few metres piece of piss

Steeper and wetter than it looks. Hit in low box flat out in 2nd, diff locks in. There's a fine line between staying in wheel ruts or slamming into a tree! Haha. Didn't quite make the top, then slid backwards into the tree behind me, which fucked me. Threw chains on but just proceeded to pig root holes and I was screwed. Walked to get tractor.

Thankfully towbar bit the tree - so no damage haha

How far was the walk to get the tractor?

Why don't you just say it, a Suzuki would have been up there, like, well it just would have....

(Disclaimer, I don't own or actively support Suzuki) and I think most VEHICLES can go anywhere. I don't think that most drivers can go everywhere....

Oh and ladas go anywhere, due to the fact that many hands can carry/push them where ever human feet can travel enmass......

Only a half hours walk away, so was quite handy.

Haha, yeah my 105 series (80 in 100 clothing) might've got up - it had triple lockers. If I'd avoided the tree I would've got up 2nd time round though!

First time I've been stuck on that hill, had a bit of rain since I went up a fortnight ago. Once you break the surface in a Landcruiser on that type of ground things do get interesting as the mud/clay is so sticky you can't clear your tyres fast enough. A lada or suzuki with decent tyres would potter around those tracks easy as, they stay on top, but bugger driving one of them 1000 or more kms every week! Haha.

I grew up in the area and on the farm we run tractor tyres on our landcruisers year round as even in summer there are soft spots to catch you out.

I hope you didn't cause any bark damage on the poor tree with your tow bar ......... In 20 years time that tree is going to be significantly more valuable than the cruiser (actually it probably already is ......)

Man there's some water around aye @JoshC . That looks like the track my dogs making around the yard atm

Made a similar mistake last year, realised chains on BEFORE starting would have been a good idea, no fun slithering around in the mud, covering the seat steering wheel and everything else in shit but at least got out without help. Lesson learned or so i hope.

How much is a mature pine worth? Thought it wasn't that much? @Barefoot?
