inpromptu trip saves the day

well that probably got your attention,
on an impromptu trip near here, bolts, red jeep and i found a few tracks and a couple of seriously bogged youngsters.
we watched them save one, only to get the other car pretty deep so after chatting to them we of't to trip around, not finding much more we went back to try another track and after successfully playing there we went to see how the boys were doing - well both cars were totally stuck and not going anywhere for another month.
thick black mud.
i hooked up to the first one and with the jeep hooked to the back of me dam, i need tyres, we got him free after way too much messing about, then we put the jeep onto the tojo and worked at it for a while to get it free.
another rescue from the us without any hassles.
i don't think they even knew that they were never going to get out.
thanks to bolts and garry for their help and we also had our own problem with an auto trans leak,
good arvo and a bit of fun.

Did they say why they tried to go where they were or was it just that they didn’t have a clew about off roading.

you know we all have done silly things,just us oldies have a soft spot for not letting them suffer too much.

Harry, my post seems to have got lost in the outage. Looks like you had to snatch the cruiser from his rear bar using a tree protector?

**harry** · 8th September 2008, 05:41 AM

mark, that's correct, the big white lump of junk had an 8 inch lift and absolutly no recovery points - we were very scared about doing it and nearly cut his yellow tree protector strap in half, but the bumper stayed on. not so lucky was the other car as i snatched it in reverse and at one stage i got it on a big side angle, thinking it might roll, but its ally bar saved it by coming loose on the left - we then hooked the strap to his right and tried to pull the other side off, which thankfully stayed connected
with hindsight, maybe a winch recovery would have been better.
