deuce recovery, i am an idiot !

i drove the duece to my buddies house. i thought i'd just pull off to the side of the road a bit. it had been raining and the whole side of the ditch caved in. at first all the left tires were in the air and the fuel tank was touching the ground. in the few minutes if took to get the chain and my buddy the right side had sunk down even further, thus alowing the left side to touch the ground, super ! here should be a video (finger's crossed) now notice me point out the recovery point in the begging, Nigel, my buddy hooked up to the step on the front bumper. guess what, it's a strong f-ing step !
the "chirping" noise is the 5,600 pound front and rear locker'd range rover dragging my happy butt free. so watch out for ditches and black ranger rovers !!

Sweet! Open diffs are not good on side slopes. One locker and you would have been fine.

Ouch that hurts the pride a bit. Glad every one is ok. You now know one thing a deuce is not good for! Wow you were deep!!

Tory,
I found your problem. You spell Deuce wrong. Fix that and the truck will not lay down on you in ditches.

Love the jerry can. Is that the new C.A.R.B. approved version?

The county is going to be bent you tore up the grader ditch.

Nicely done! I really wouldn't advertise the location much or you'll get a big fat bill from the city!

Nice extraction, although I'd be a little embarrassed that little Rover pulled out a Deuce. Good thing it wasn't REALLY stuck!

ha ha ha, I was thinking the same.

I just saw this video running as an ad for Land Rover..

Deuces have a way of getting stuck even when they shouldn't.

oops, but you made it out all is well

Great yank by the Range Rover but the problem is the road has no shoulder, must have been recently constructed under the Recovery Act.

Nigel and his land rover just got even more cocky. I'm sure he needed that confidence boost.

well at least it was your buddy that got you out, and not a random guy driving home from soccer practice. however if your land rover buddy is as cocky as some of my jeep friends i would have just held the brakes on while he tried to pull me out. let em break a drive shaft. would have been worth getting a ticket to not hear that for the rest of my natural life.

Congrats on the recovery!

Glad she knows how to "lay down", let's hope that she never demonstrates her "Roll Over" Trick for you.

BTW: Can you spell O-P-E-R-A-T-O-R . . . E-R-R-O-R

LOL

Looks like a good way to break a little British car, glad it all came out OK (pun intended)
