RED Almost over.

[cicak]

THis is a video clip of my Malaysian RED almost going backwards on a recent climb. After watching the clip i think the guide got it wrong as was indicating straight on when he should have made me move a little to the right as the right rear drops into the RUT and despite the locker would not come out. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! THe 320kg of RICE in the rear almost pulls it over. WOuld I drive the hill again yup tomorrrow. I also got stuck on the way down when a bank collapsed and I had to Winch out downhill. See the previous posting on of LJ70 for the details. It also popped out of 4wd So I whackked it back in and tried to drive out no go I was going more vertical . The engine was running the while time

I cannot hear the sounds as my laptop sound is not working - I think there is me asking for a quick connect up which they failed to do.

I was eventually rescued here by ANchoring to the empty LC II which had made it up before me and using the PTO to pull myself down and forward and then the ELECTRIC winch to belly drag myself over the remaining RUTS to safety as the PTO would not do it only the TOYOTA factory electric winch had the guts to pull.

After I flattened out and then dragged myself forward I ended up like this

My rescuer the anchor man his winch could never pull my truck so I winched myself.
