You ain't seen stuck -- FJ Cruiser

I lost my gopro at fordyce but I'll have my phone if anything cool happens. I'll probably go mill around for a couple hours anyway.

 

Can't resist, sub'd and hoping for some video of any attempts

He's gonna have to wait until spring. That is fucked. Might as well have driven it into a swimming pool full of concrete.

 

._. think he'll sell the fj?

 

Is that konvict krog's truck?

 

Huh, learn something new every day. If this thing can thaw through a foot of ice per day, that would do it...

 

Where the fuck do you get one of those is the thing... I've never even heard of one...

 

Man if I were stuck like this I don't know how I could just let my truck sit like that. I'd start taking shit off my truck that could be salvaged.

 

IDK, That was from 2008 and the add said it had been their for 3 years.

 

Canada

 

Ahhh. It looks like the one he just rolled a few weeks ago.

 

I'd buy all the hot hands walmart had, pile them up around the wheels and hope for the best. XD

 

True, I've seen them construction doesn't stop in the winter

 

Peeked my interest. Read everything and now I reeeally want to see what happens.

 

It was mentioned in the Pirate4x4 thread. Makes sense from a heat transfer point of view. http://www.groundheaters.com/thawing.htm

Looks like it's used for oil fields, mining, etc.

 

All road construction doe around here. haha Private/commercial construction keeps going but I don't recall ever seeing them heat the ground with those. (For reference, I live in Idaho, it borders Canada, it's not much different than Canada in the winter. haha)

Yeah, I saw that Pirate4x4 thread mentioned earlier, but like I said above, I haven't seen one around. I wonder how common they are and if they aren't very common it may not be very cheap to rent one for 2-3 consecutive days...

 

Have a couple of these at work, there even bigger too. They'll heat a house to 90' in a couple hours rent one for a day and make a tent around the truck, easy way to get it out

He's guna break stuff using a cat and digging and trying to pull it out.

 

I'd expect the GroundHeater to be more common in areas where permafrost and deep frozen puddles can be found.

It does seem to be the most effective solution, and may work faster than 1 ft/day for small areas like a vehicle's footprint. (i.e. you place the hoses closer together than shown in the promo pictures).
