1st offroading trip......

[Bonniebanks]

ended in disaster

Got stuck in the grass, well what I thought was grass and sunk down into the marshy earth

Had to go and knock the door of a local farmer and get him to tow me out with his tractor

Did you try the 4WD button?

Did you try the 4WD button?

4wd was on and all 4 wheels spun in deeper, never tried the low ratio, couldnt figure out how to move from high to low. I've since discovered you need to be in park lol

[surfenstein]

I'm learning all the time, at least he pulled me out. If not I'd still be there

[Bibs]

Errm do you have bald tyres by any chance?

An yes for going out alone an not knowing how to use the gears - deff IOTY (sorry mate)


PS thats why I go out in a group btw

Lookin at the pic there was a whole loada help at the side of you too....

There's another rule.

If in doubt, walk it first. You probably would have discovered the ground was too soft. You'll know next time eh?

Are they road tyres you have? Not gonna get far on wet grass / soft ground on road tyres. Best mod you can make is getting yourself some good quality all terrains such as BF Goodrich or General Grabbers.

Did the farmer thank you for ploughing his field?

[slobodan]

Haha, fancy going out without a lift, winch, off road tyres, snorkel, hi-lift jack, wellingtons, flask of coffee, tent, locking diffs.

[surfenstein]

you should of let your tyre down to about 20 psi and tried getting it out then.
