Did you let your tyres down to about 10psi & drive out of it?

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

Was any of the advice given along the lines of

"You need to get it deeper Gandad if you want to use that snorkel"!

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.

The other side isn't too crash hot either


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 , 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.

Correct Ryan, as far as I can see so far, however I got out.
I think the Surf was a far better 4x4
Should have kept it and saved my family 35K

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.

@Dundee. Too many bombers?

I only had one box
