Just back...

Yeah the only problem was if it were a front mounted winch the ground was like this for about 100yds fanning out in front. You can see I ended up digging, packing and pulling it out backwards (onto solid ground) using the HiLift with a winching kit and chain and extension straps.

 

Thanks for the trip. I watch Graham & Shawno and the rest of their merry band on 4WD Action as often as I can. Love those blokes and the funny way you upsidedowners talk! The globe just doesn't do your continent justice. After watching them for the past few years, I've gotten an appreciation for just how big Australia really is. Still a dream of mine to cross the continent in a UTE. Some of their recent videos have them muckin' about in the Tasmanian mud on some epic trails.

Here's a recent Tazzy trip. If any of the rest of you aren't subscribed, I recommend you get it done post haste!

 

Yes those guys are a hoot !!!!! And you are right, not many people appreciate the size of Aus. For our American friends, the landmass of your lower 48 +/- and with about 10% of the population mostly clustered within 3hrs of the coast.
