MAZDA RECOVERS HOLDEN FROM BEACH

yeah and???

So why did the Rodeo get bogged, hubs not locked, soft sand and too slow, stopped to take a pic and couldn't get going , gotta be a reason ???

Hrm,

Sounds like a "my toy is better than your toy" story.

I've been 4x4ing for years, in a GU Patrol 3.0TDi and I've pulled countless Prado's, Landcruisers, Hiluxes and OTHER PATROLS out of trouble.

Doesn't mean the car isn't any good. Doesn't mean the driver isn't either!

Just means they were having a bad day, or made a mistake. I've made a few of them and ended up on the end of a recovery strap or winch!

I even got pulled out of a bog when I stuffed the approach to a river bank and got stuck half-in half-out.. The recovery car was a Jimney!

I don't get the big deal of a Bravo pulling out a Rodeo. They are similarly capable vehicles.

I've been a passenger in Jackaroo that had to be pulled out of sand by a Feroza. The Jack only got stuck because it was the owner's first outing on sand.

My Monterey was also stuck in soft sand once and had to be pulled by the abovementioned Jackaroo on a later trip.

If you need to be recovered then it really doesn't matter what the vehicle doing the recovery is. As long as the operator knows what they are doing.

I spent a good half hour laughing at tourists getting the troopies stuck on fraser where you have to go around the head land mean while my mates unlocked my hubs and the rest is history........

There goes a saying;

If you are not living life on the edge...move over.... you're taking up too much room.

In other words if you haven't been stuck in your 4WD at one time or an other then you probably are enjoying it as much as you should.

What ever the reason they got stuck at least they have a story worth spreading around at the next camp fire.
