^^ So the picture under your post, is your ride burried past the underbody in sand?
That extraction looks like it might take 5-10 min... assuming your AWD was still working. :mrgreen:

Yeah no wheel spinning, it just drove till it was sitting on the bash plate.....3 times in a row haha, that was the third time in 30min, I'd just been ripped out and tried to back in beside the orange Gen 2 but it slid down the bank & I had no choice but to go forward as there was hard stuff about 20' further ahead but as you can see it was like quicksand, my stupid but all fun, my tow bar is more boomerang shaped now but still bolted on and working. :mrgreen:

Which beach was that?
Is that Dan's L Series behind your Subaru, to the left?

3 times in a row? :mrgreen:
So was the sand really that treacherous,
or do you think your Subi could have been better prepared?

In the words of a chef mate from Hotham: "Yeah we do!"

Be warned though, give these fellas an inch and they'll take more than they need!
