Well it's about to happen, a fellow 'Perth 4X4' member has phoned me to ask assistance to drag his Delica 4WD out of a bogged situation in the bush near Busselton
He has said a V8 Totota could not free him yesterday :'(
he had to leave the vehicle bogged there last night and here in Busso it's been raining pretty heavy so it may be a bit of a risk posting this now even before I've seen the problem.
Will take a few photo's when I get there in an hour ;D
A Ssangyong Actyon will soon be a Toyota recovery vehicle ;D ;D

Aaaah, isn't a Delica a Mitsubishi ???

Bring on the pics

are we taking bets on how long until 3 cars are bogged?

Yep it's been a while ;D

Good onya Mainey, out helping a mate out. Good luck with the recovery.
Don't forget the pics.

5 hrs and still no word, could the SsangYong have got bogged even before it reached the Decila??? :worthles:

Probably got bogged on the tar road there. :cheers: (joking)

my old man lives in Busso, maybe he could take the Commodore out and drag the lot out ;D

yep I screwed up the terminology, the Delica is definitely a Mitsubitcheee ;D
Well I took the owner out to his Delica, thinking it was on a track somewhere out of town in the sand hills :angel:
and I find it beside a tar road, was out of town just a few K's, but bogged with the chassis sitting on the dirt, when he got in and started it up, it could spin the diagonally opposite 2 x wheels in '4wd' @ idle, back left/front right, I thought all wheels would turn in a 4wd ??
I was now starting to understand why the twin turbo V8 Toyota could not shift it
Well the thought was there, I did attempt to do a good turn for a fellow 4wd owner
Hope it gets returned some day when I need it :cheers:
-
Yep she looks stuck ;D
-
so you both got the shovel out and dug away the Shit... that explains the time frame :cup: :cup:
"I was now starting to understand why the twin turbo V8 Toyota could not shift it"
A single turbo GU would have been more than enough :)

I always thought they were Mr Fishies?
Kit_e
P.S. 1 hour there, 1 hour back ... 15 minutes saying "yep she's stuck alright ... ever heard of RAC?" ... the rest of it they were at the pub for lunch I'll bet.

The chasis was sitting on the dirt with all four (4) wheels off the ground :cheers:

you carry them and haven't used them yet?
SsangYong must have left the instructions out of the owners manual >:D

No, not all 4 spin in 4wd unless you have diff locks
2 opposites spinning means all is good in 4wd land

Sorry, I don't, a decent snatch strap and a shovel should see it pop out gently
Please explain ???????? ???if the 2 diagonally wheels spin then it is in 4x4 mode, if all 4 wheels are spinning then he has a diff lock. and why could'nt a cruser pull him out ????? ??? ??? ??? just asking
As in red..... A cruiser should have pulled that out, but I wasn't there and don't understand the circumstances so I won't comment, but as far as the wheels turning etc, a 2wd should only ever turn 1 front and 1 rear wheel unless there are lockers involved.
techo stuff aside, good on you for going to help........
-
I'm guessing the cruiser couldn't get decent traction?
-
I am guessing the Toyota could not pull it out because the cray pot rope being used as a bridle kept snapping :police: I hate to think what that was tied to ::)
-
Was it worth saving in the end . No really its not he dog in the fight , its the fight in the dog . :cheers:

No, was very suitable rope, the same rope was used by both Toyota's and no breakage encountered by either, they just could not get traction, even when they were on the tar road :cheers:

Was plenty of traction available, the V8 cruiser had left black marks on the tar road when it was attempting to drag the Delica from the mud :'(
As I posted "I find it beside a tar road, out of town just a few K's, but bogged with the chassis sitting on the dirt" Another friend came out in his cruiser this arvo and we tried snatch strapping again, but failed again :'(
Ended up finally winching it out.

When bellied like that Mainey it is best to crack out the highlift and shovel. Clear the track in front a bit so it isn't bulldozing, lift it up to break the suction and put some logs under the wheels then a gentle snatch will usually do. Snatching a vehicle bellied in mud is just asking for trouble in my books.
-
You needed some...

Yep, stuck in two out of the three ingredients for concrete......1st bit of recovery gear is a shovel and a seasoned operator in it's use......cause you gunna be using it for a spell......
Cheers

can we change the thread heading now? :D

Mate of mine replaced his much loved 4x4 L300 with snorkel with a Delica.
We manufactured a "te" badge and added to the end of the model badge. Took him 3 months to realise the addition.

Very true and the suction on the mud also makes it harder to get the car out.
Snatching where a cruiser or any make of 4wd has wheels spinning on the bitumen is just asking far parts to be ripped off or breaking diffs.
-
Why didn't you just park the SsangYong next to it and start a nice bomb fire >:D

You need to change the title in the first post.
