Stuck Tacoma's-Lets see 'Em

How'd you get out?

 

i was getting stuck cause the boat was too heavy and it was soft there. i just unhitched the boat and dug out the tires and put bigger rocks there for grip. then we just swung the trailer by hand and rehitched it to a more solid ground and launched it no problem

 

I ask because my Grandpa just gave me a boat and I have about 0 experience launching a boat, especially on soft ground. I have helped out twice with launching at a boat ramp, outta be enough!

Good thinking though.

 

Ya this was my first time with no experience. My dad let me take his boat out myself finally. One of those things you just kinda learn by mistake. Just make sure you have help and aren't alone haha. What kin of boat?

 

Crestliner, 16' aluminum skiff an Alaskan boat haha. Boat is old, motor is new! I will probably end up selling it next summer though for mod money (and school ) .

 

Aluminum boat? Should be no problem haha

 

Haha, until you meet glacier silt or mud... But I think I will okay.

tried to cross a creek at night while hunting.... Had to call my dad in his chitty Chevy to come pull me out . 4x4 would have helped but I still don't think it would have gotten through it

 

Been stuck in this hole 3 differant times on 3 seperate trips

 

Yup. That'll do it.

 

Story?

 

I climbed the hill and high centered it at the top. I thought it leveled off, but it dropped on the other side so I was teeter tottering up there. I was following a fj40 who had a better break over angle so he made it over fine. I'll see if I have pica of the recovery, 3 friends just pushed up on rhw rear bumper and I went forward over the hill.

 

Nice. That pic makes it look pretty sketch!

 

Yea that is one of the few pics that actually does the hill justice, it was steep as hell! However the truck wasn't going anywhere, me and my pax were laughing pretty hard. I did the same thing my last trip out as well, the perils of a long wheelbase!!

 

Tall mound of soft wet dirt + long wheel base = High Center
I had to stick two massive boulders under the rear with the diff lock in and a friend jumping in the bed to get out.

 

That's why you always approach those at an angle, ask me how I know LOL

 

Soft, soft mud.

 

I have one of these!

I got stuck RIGHT next to the jeep doing the exact same thing. so we made a train to pull both of us out
