    Desert surveyor... stuck.

    Thought you might get a laugh out of this (from Overlander forums)

    Brilliant. Loved that it was slightly sped up - worthy of a silent comedy film.

    A few questions.

    1) Front RH wheel not turning - no 4wd?
    2) or front hubs unlocked?
    3) no centre diff?
    4) no diff lockers?
    5) what would you have done?

    Glad he went & put a hat on.

    Thats a classic!

    Another method would be to adjust the RH rear brake up to almost locked, and it'll climb straight out.(Only if drum brakes were used of course, otherwise wedging the park brake cable on for that side would do the same if a disc rear end.)
    I thought he was going to try all sorts of stuff, like wedging the tailgate under the wheel or something crazy like that.

    Those utes do have drum brakes.

    I used that technique back in 1970 to get our Vauxhall Viva unbogged on a sand track in Ceduna.

    It would have been interesting to see his next move if traction was achieved while jumping on the back or bouncing it !!!!

    That is an absolute crack up! I was soooo expecting the ute to finally get traction and go flying off screening with him running after it Gods Must be Crazy style!! LMAO

    Good on him for having the foresight to set up a camera and to then take the p!ss out of himself!!
