Not a lot of difference between yours and mine as far as I can see Mick, although your front is tucked up a bit further.Quote:

Other than that theory I don't know mate.

Yeah, for sure... looks like it is about to have a little nap on its side in that last pic. I reckon you've done well to get it out of that rut without hurting something. :DQuote:

The tilt was a bit scary. Kept the driver door open, some rope around the door post with hangers on, and assistance from a passerby with a winch.
Small loss of concentration on a fairly easy slope resulting in a very tricky situation.
from that point best bet would have been to turn left to pull out of the rut, as your pas wheel tries to climb up it forces the driver rear into the ground. its easy to say now but probably wasnt going through you head at the time, im guessing you were more worried about what was running through you pants:wasntme:Quote:

Hi Mick,
Unfortunately, as usual, the pic does not do the slope any justice. The ground surface was rock hard, with "marble' gravel which was even difficult to walk on. The wheel is facing left, as I think my first thought was to reverse out, up the higher bank. Going straight backwards though the driver side of the bank got higher, increasing the lean over. Believe me I tried really hard to turn left, but there was just no grip up the side of the rut. With the vehicle weight against the side of the rut, I could not manage much of a left turn, and the side walls of the road tyres weren't worth much. I even filled up the area in front of the tyres with rocks and logs, but no luck.
But yes, the brain was in a bit of a panic mode, as well as other parts ---- I forgot about the 2 track mats in the back, which in hindsight, probably would have been of some use.
