This was a bit of a pain , especially since I had a grandchild with me who likes to give advice.

Not sure why you parked there? Looks pretty barren
Nope, had a fair way to go before I could have put more air in
just kept putting seaweed and sticks under the front wheels until I got out
Took a fair while, one wheel turn at a time
Hilux utes are the worst 4x4 I've ever had for getting stuck
Let me qualify this.
Ive actually only ever had two 4x4's
I had a Surf for 11 and a bit years, low Ked never did me wrong, never got it stuck, bottom ball joints a couple of times and that was that.
Then I figured I best get myself one of these flash harry utes, sold the surf for fuck all at 167Km,
Well I've had the new stuck one on 4 occasions now, lucky never yet had to get outside help but...Damn near gave up today,
Todays effort
Was taking the hound to the river, in my usual spot was a carload of dickwanks with a couple of pitty looking things, drove on looking for another spot, found one.
Don't look to bad.

Starting to get maybe an idea that is isn't really going to plan.

After an hr and a half plus of carting river stones and other shit to put under the tyres I had rocked it enough to go backwards.

Then lined it up, put it in 4 high and planted the boot as hard as she would go
Drove through
Maybe should have done that in the first place.

Everything was a bit mucky, especially as I'd had the windows down, however got home without having to walk out and ask for a tow, and that's the main thing in a small town.:)
Some I have spoken to this arvo say possibly operator error may have been the cause :wtfsmilie:, nah, don't belive it, must be the Hilux.:)
Even had a helper getting sticks for you, or was it pinching them. Tyre choice??
They really are Queen street puddle hoppers, we have two of them here and the two older 2005 ones we also have run circles round them off road
Yeah most of what I do doesn't need mudders, mainly higher country .
Today was a piss off. BF Good Rich AT do not do well in the the mud.
My Triton has the factory dif lock which is good, but also gets you deeper in the shit and makes it harder to get out.
The old solid axle hilux I also got goes much further and does it easier
I think that was the problem oraki ,initially I put it in 4 low and tried to crawl out but the only thing I did was dig a deeper hole, should have put it in 4 high just gunned the damn thing.

The folks had some fert spread on Tuesday. The driveway is steep down and then steep up and gravel, not quite steep enough to stop a 2wd though. Anyway last truck and trailer of the day went down the driveway then lost momentum on the way back up the other side. He got out to head to the house to ask for a tow, the truck and trailer somehow let go and chased him down the drive and peeled off the side at the bottom nearly rolling both. Then when he did get towed out he managed to smash the gate and post it was attached to but also the post and rails on the other side that the gate swings to. Highly recommended operator

Driver of the car died
Was on the road from Dunedin to invers and saw one motorbike, thought it's too bloody windy to be driving (90km in a station-wagon focussing on staying in one lane) let alone on a bike... Sure enough motorbike and two cars must have piled up a few minutes behind us
Many years ago when I was Housemoving we were taking a double prefab from Wangavegas to the WCC tip admin office and it jammed up under that bridge - had to let a bit of air out of the transporter tyres and set the hydraulics lower than the normal highway height for a wee bit there
After abit of careful driving , I managed to get within shooting distance. But it was already a dead DeereAttachment 62583
