    Finishing our weekend out in Mammoth. Going to see Star Wars tonight and have a nice dinner and drinks. Heading to thousand oaks tomorrow for Christmas at my parents.

    What did we learn? Have recovery tools, get a 4wd, a chick that is cool and enjoys adventure, and don't get too close to a ditch.

    TacomaWorld is the greatest.

    Hahaha! Glad you guys have a sense of humor too.

    Now, when the next thread debating “should I buy a 2wd or 4wd” pops up, you’ll have great street cred to answer with!

    The guy just couldn’t get traction, that’s all it came down to- heck, with traction and careful finesse, you can go lots of places. I successfully drove this road back in ‘79 when I was a high school senior with my friend in his dad’s Vista Cruiser station wagon! We didn’t have the clearance, but we had the traction, along with the luck of a couple dumb kids! (Old Dale Road, Joshua Tree NP).

    Site suggestion:

    A subforum for successful recoveries where we can place all these awesome stories. First ones that come to mind are:

    The Miller Jeep Trail rescue:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/recovered-bottom-of-miller-jeep-trail-socal.456064/
    (Thanks @MonkeyProof and @Imtaconico )

    And the now famous spindle failure:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/another-spindle-failure-backcountry-dv.473931/
    (Thanks @goblue82 and @Mach375 )

    It'd be good to keep these organized as a reminder of how a community of (for the most part) strangers can come together to help eachother.
