And just cause Murphys a c@#t my winch decided to go on strike as well. ..ahh well a little digging and the turfin winch will get it out!!!!!!

[Bent Arrow]

Bugger. That's not good

[Gaznazdiak]

Don't you hate that DB?

I have air lockers on my old Rangie, went plowing into some slop a couple of years back full of confidence the lockers would see me through.

And they would have, except for the small split in the supply line that left no pressure to operate them.

Worst of all it was a "Watch this" show off moment, still getting ribbed by the passengers

[Daddybang]

Can't even get it out with a tractor at the moment(too wet can't get close enough)
the worst thing about it is this was a "I'll do the right thing and turn around cause it'll be too boggy further down the track so I'll use the same spot that I've used for six years and its never been hoggy before" type of event. ....


Edit to add the brand new never been used turfin winch was talkin to that Murphy muthaf@#ker and it decided to shear a pin !!!

[JSS]

I think old Murph wants the Landy to stay there a while............Bugger!!

[BBJ]

I do believe the chassis is supposed to sit above the ground

That reminds me of the time I got the FJ40 bogged in quicksand, the bloody thing sank down to the windscreen! FMD what a job it was getting that little bastard back out. A fella rolled up in a Hilux and hooked a cable up to the rear of his ute and tried, it bent the bloody bar he hooked it up to, in the end I found a farmer and he came down in this massive tractor and it took a fair bit of pulling but it finally came out!

I though she was there to stay - I really didn't think I'd be driving it home but I did!

[Daddybang]

Well she's still in there!!!
Managed to get the wallqby jack working properly and lifted it finished digging out wheels and chassis so now when the rain stops should be a case of packing [email protected] the back tyres putting the max trax under the front run a bloody long snatch and hopefully driving out. Today its gonna sit there as I've gotta travel down to malanda for dad's 70th.
F@#k the adventure of 4x4ing!!!!

In years past, I've noticed that the BEST way to get a dam filled, is to bog a piece a valuable piece of equipment tin the bottom of it...

I was talking about this to Dad years ago, and suggested that a solution to rain was to park his beloved Piper Twin Comanche plane in the bottom of one of the dams about to go dry?

Dad frostily told me to bugger off...

Still tempted to test this theory, but looking around for someone with a half-million dollar loader or grader, but they all seem about as negative as Dad was!

No chance the bogged Landy will bring the rain?
[Though it kinda sounds like it already has...]

[TassieTiger]

^ Fugfen lolz.
I was going to suggest those grippy plastic boards, they work well but then the photos loaded lol.

[Daddybang]

F@#K YEAH!!!!!
Its a bloody beautiful feeling when ya finally succeed in getting the bitch out!!!!!

Nice work mate.

[JSS]

Now you should go for a drive through there again to check if the ground has dried out yet

[Gaznazdiak]

This is what you need up there DB.

If you get it bogged though, I'd leave it there and stick to snow shoes
Must have a balltearer of a steering pump.
