The inaugural Sixty Shindig in the desert! 75 degrees, 12 super cool folks, 8 sweet 60/62’s, 5 four-legged furrballs and one blown out tire. New friends were made, lots of firewood burned and all bellies filled w legit Carne Asada tacos!
Next time...
First attempt at unstucking was using a Kubota tractor to pull out the 60. Tractor almost became stuck so I then used the tractor as an anchor and routed the winch line underneath for a backward pull. Warn 12K winch.
That didn't work. I then employed the 80 series with a Warn 10k winch but had to anchor it to a tree.
Using both winches finally extricted the 60 from the mud.

Met up with some fellow 6X Cruiserheads in the middle of nowhere.
Looks great!

Hey, what did you use to get all the old jute off?

WD-40 works very well. It breaks down the glue and then you can basically just wipe that old stuff right off.
The hard stuff, dry ice is the best way

I'm just gonna leave my factory sound deadening in there. The new stuff sticks to it just fine and its in good shape but the jute from the carpet padding stuck allllllllllll over it.

WD-40 takes it right off. Picked that advice up somewhere in the 60 Series forum and can confirm it works. Yes, it leaves the smell behind, but a little soap and water sorts that right out.

If you can't fix it with WD40 or duct tape...
I actually used one of those gloves for brushing hairy dogs to get the big piece of jute off. Then just used dry ice for the remaining jute and hard stuff combo.
oem skidplate ftw ! I found one recently also.
I used a steel welding coarse bristle brush from Harbor freight. It’s the wooden handle one with the steel bristles that costs like $4. Pulls it all right off. You have to unclog the brush quite a bit though but it works
I can’t hear that song and not think about this scene
