***Recovered*** Stuck out at Folsom Lake need a winch!!!

Is this going to be on an upcoming episode of matts off-road recovery or did you guys get him out?

 

He was referred to a local tow service since we don't have anyone near that area.

 

There was a stream running under the mud out to the lake. I had both lockers on and my lower control arms were buried. Another guy tried to pull me out and he had rear lockers and got stuck two but his buddies could pull him out. Once they got him out the recovery truck blew a head. They had to bail it was a cluster f@ck

 

I realize OP is out. But some might find this useful. Feel free to repost this in a more appropriate thread or forum.

 

Should be stickied. Mods?

 

That area is some get stuck MUCK.
I bet you stay away from those "small" streams now, won't ya.

 

Straight clogged tires that sucks

 

So what was the final recovery? (Glad you're free!)

 

He got out

 

My step sister got her 2018 TRD Off-road stuck in wet grass a couple months ago. Not sure how she did it but it was funny as hell

 

I like getting in that wet stuff.... Iykwim

 

I got out by engaging my front and rear locker in 4low and digging out the front tires with traction boards. I would get just to the other side of the boards and stick again. It was 1 traction board length at a time. I’m buying two more traction boards and staying away from the mud till I get my bumper and which.

 

Shit man sometimes you gotta dig and accept the small victories

 

Nice work. Yea, those kinds of conditions make you rethink your setup and recovery tools, and of course where one ventures to.

 

looks like it made it

I saw that in Matt’s off-road recover! Took 2 vehicles to pull that out.

 

I just watched it. Looks like it came out ok.

 

Problem is, some of these off-road locations won't have access to cell service.
I often go out boot up and bring up 5G base stations in my work, and the number of blind spots and coverage holes I find are just mind blowing even in a city let alone off the trial paths.
This is why going off-roading on some technical trails, muck is never a good idea alone. Or not without access to CB/few channels written down in a paper to keep in your glove compartment.

 

I knew it looked familiar

 

I knew that truck had to be from here lol
