[oldcourier]

That does look pretty bogged! I don;t think the hi-lift jack will be much help! :D

[Harb]

Is that a Hyclone sticking out of the water ?
I bet he would have had more power to get out of that if he had a Hyclone.............bbaawwwahahhahahahaahhhhhhttp://img243.imageshack.us/img243/851/eab3ced90faa6afe515328cud5.gif

[eldo]

[beej]

Hey, has anyone seen that Surf pic? (this could so be the replacement of the sticker thread - it's almost as frequent)

[eldo]

i bet that surf has a forum sticker on it, actually i bet it actually had the prototype on it and thats why we dont have any yet, the design was lost..

[atari4x4]

not again, them surfs love being in the surf.:computer:

[tom_286]

What tyres are on that surf? Would they be the best size for my truck?

[taresk]

Is this third in the series of most annoying and repeated posts, or is this serious?

[yowie]

Is that a diesel or petrol?

[slowlux]

i knew what this was before even seeing the picture

[Thirsty2454]

DAMMIT.......I DIDN'T:crazy:

[ferremit]

This is probably offtopic a bit... but this is my effort- its a 2" lifted cruiser on 235/85R16 tyres...

How could you get bogged in mud in the middle of a drought???
Or are/were you in the bottom of a dry dam?

[Marc 1]

Geez, I wish I could find the pic of the M113 APC that was so badly bogged up at Shoalwater Bay in that black ozeing mud. There was only about 60cm's showing at the lowest point. Even with all the recovery gear the RAEME blokes have they gave it a miss. Stripped guns, radios and anything that might have been pilfered and went back to barracks. Decided to wait for the dry season before digging it out.

[montana]

what can you expect,a toyota,with a weaco,cooper tyres,air lock front and rear,2'' body lift,4'' suspension,63 backpackers in it........ did i miss anything?????

[stu050]

THIS is bogged......

Underwater for 56 years..

Scroll down to see the pics.

[Spimon_NH]

T-34 weighs 31 tonnes...plus 56 years of mud suction and the weight of the water inside it.
Not a bad little winch they have there. ;)


Maybe that's what they needed to get the 4Runner off the beach...

[MYTANK]

That tank is amazing..!

[landcrusier ute]

the tnak and the crusier are pretty cool

G'day

so old, that was the pic in the dunny on noah's ark. (the surf pic)


here is a pic of a cruiser in the pig pen at last years Mud, Bulls and Music.

[Jarrod.]

do they wet the pig pen whenm events are on or somthing. cause every time i have been there it has been dry as

[landcrusier ute]

naa that is after it rained they woldnt waste water on the pig pen

[jimbo jones]

lol not again

[Jarrod.]

naa that is after it rained they woldnt waste water on the pig pen
well i hope its pissing down with rain when we go in july

[ferremit]

Nah- took two 10,000LB winches with double line pulls to pop it out of the goo, and then a snatch (from a patrol of all vehicles...) to get it out completely...


I drove into a bloody spring- it had dead grass on it!

[window]

they were lucky last year at LCMP that they had some rain before MBM, i hope they get a heap this year as i am going to try and get a couple of quads up there

[territorian1]

Don't have pic of it but best "bogged" I ever saw was 2 graders from a road work crew. First one went to do a U turn, but chose to do it over an underground creek. Second one went in to pull him out with same result. Tyres had completely disappeared. They got another tyre, laid it flat and used the scoop bit to try and lift up. But the mud was kind of the same consistency as junket. So it just went down and down and down and .... I stopped to help. We spent 4 hours with a Toyota trayback carting rocks and putting them under the horizontal tyre but it still was sinking. I escaped when they stopped for lunch. I heard later they had to get another grader in to get them out.

[VinVIn]

so after straying from the origional topic....

You guys still havnt told me if i should go coopers or BF's, and whether the weaco is better then the Engle, and most importantly, should i consider my next possible car to be a nissan or a toyota , oh yeah and should it be deisel or petrol? :zzz:

Yeah, when big things sink in the mud it's a bugger to pull them out. I used to be in 5/7RAR(mech) equipped with M113 APC's. They have fairly low ground pressures (full track and are under 12 tonne), our platoon of 4 APC's were exercising with a Leopard tank (42+ odd tonnes). We moved through this slight depression which must have had a spring just under the surface and the lead APC had a hard time getting through. The crew commander radio'ed to the other callsigns (APC and the tank) to avoid that patch, the APC's moved around the muck, the 1 Armoured tankies (just a tad arrogant these blokes) decided to ignore the advice and bogged the leopard onto it's belly plate:crazy: . Great rooster tails of mud flying back and forward as they tried to get out, then called us over for a recovery.

We go forward to the tank with the tow cable and the arrogant tankie wanted us to step into the mud to connect to the tow point. After we corrected his ideas a fraction he got down and messed around connecting an APC to each of the front tow points on the tank. The other two M113 daisychained onto the back of the first two APC's and we all tried to drag the beast out. Don't know what sort of tractive force 4 M113's can exert but the Leopard wasn't going anywhere. We left the tankies to call an ARV with it's 70 tonne winch to drag them out. Nothing like watching a tankie get taken down a notch or two by supposedly 'dumb grunts'.:D

don't mean to be rude, but in english....:crazy:

[Marc 1]

don't mean to be rude, but in english....:crazy:

OK...

5/7 RAR (Mech) = The 5th/7th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment (an infantry ubit of about 700 men) the (Mech) bit means Mechanised - means we travel in armoured vehicles.

M113 APC is a type of Armoured Personnel Carrier (an armoured box on tracks) see pic:

Armoured Recovery Vehicle - A Leopard Tank chassis fitted with a crane and winches.

Tractive force - pulling power

Daisy chain - linked together nose to tail. In this example the APC closest to the tank was joined from it's tow hook to the tank, another APC was pulling the first APC from the front. Dodgy diagram of the recovery attached

[miller]

Thants gold 4runner4!

[stu050]

The M113 is powered by a 6V53 Detriot two stroke diesel.
318 cubic inches or 5.2 Litres. The two stroke diesels rely on RPM to produce power, relatively gutless below about 1900RPM
