DIS4 on here I believe, young Gary.

Guy commented "My patrol, as I pulled up ol man was digging sand out with his hands, he had NO recovery gear and 35psi in his tyres. Used my max trax and shovel, let his tyres down to 12psi. Ended up having to snatch him out."

Gary what were you doing with 35PSI in your tyres? Lol

I did the exact same thing the first time i went 4x4ing on a beach though...

A bit Off topic........

Many years ago,we used to spend a fair bit of time at at Ellie ck,we used to camp near by.

Watching the vehicles hit the creek,particularly if the tide was up a bit,and there was an 18" drop off,was always interesting

We actually used to catch some very good sized perch in that creek as well,the favourite bait being grasshoppers.

I can't find the video ......
Strange because I know Gary got a lot of good advice on here about sand driving.

Scott

I can only get a link to the whole website, and not just the post Scott, but from memory, it was posted on or about the 30th Dec.
I spoke with him yesterday and he said he had a few problems along the way.
Was a crappy phone connection, so looking forward to catching up with him and hearing the whole story clearly. We're going to go down south from here (to South Gippsland) and try some things when we get some free time.

Did we ever resolve this? ...

It never needed resolving in the first place as everyone knows the original, live axle Deefer is the better off roader.

Funny I seem to remember reading on Aulro a number of times that the original Series was best off road and live axle Defers were for girly men. ...
