    Like any 4x4 and given the conditions, yes you can get stuck....

    My own Golden Rules are:

    1. Never to go off-road alone. Two vehicles the minimum, preferable 3 or more to provide recovery service

    2. Be prepared with at least basic tools for recovery : tow straps, spade etc.

    3.Take good warm clothing, and some snacks/drinks as you never know how long your going to be

    4. Never dive in head first....plan your route and walk it if your unsure...you never know if once in there is a way back out.

    5. Wade or use a stick to check fords, crossings or water holes as you never really can tell how deep or rutted it will be. Last thing you wanna do is go for a swim. If you have to cross the water create a bow wave, this gives a negative low effect and can help with air intake.

    6. Unless you have a snorkel don't go in water above the bumper as the air intake is situated behind the n/s [passenger] headlight

    7. Have good fun. and keep that GRIN alive
