I am glad you could recover the vehicle with just a pair of cables and D hooks. As far as i can see the pics, you should never throw a stone into the pit to judge the dept of the pit. YOU MUST WALK INTO IT FIRST! A stick or a stone will not show the soft underfoot conditions. Only your foot will know. If you cannot barely stand there your jeep wouldn't. | |

| That is the slowest form of getting stuck I have ever seen in a video! And the music adds to the wait ;-) The terrain looks very "virgin". I would recommend that any organised OTR effort is not beyond 7 vehicles at a week-end. Just does not make sense to go and ravage such land in huge numbers. |

| Senior - BHPian | V_N, I learnt it the hard way. But what better excuse to kick myself to buy the most basic of Jeeping accessories. Venkat - Read on, Dwarak and Giri joined us today and we had a blast, except for my buddies' Red CJ3B busted the crankcase drain bolt, and we spotted it immediately and stopped the Jeep right there and towed it out. Pics here. Picasa Web Albums - santosh - 18-apr-2010 h... I will load all the video's in a few hours. Also, I will post a write up of the day asap... |
