    In the past I have used lawn sprinklers to clean the undercarriage good. I hate to have mud clumped up under the carport.

    So here are the BS sayings I've been told about wheeling.
    When in doubt, don't try it out.
    No grass, no pass (meaning with mud).
    Watch for the boulders when you are getting bolder.

    It’s resting on the front skid plate and the right rear is sinking. Ugh. Was 2” between the mud and the exhaust and now the tip is on the ground.

    it will stop sinking once there are more contact points with the sand (i.e. the frame)

    Always have your wheels pointing forward when you start out. By having them turned, they are acting as plows.

    sorry for your loss.

    Do you have floor mats? Have you used those under the front tires to try and back out?

    don’t the OR have crawl control? With floor mats you’ll makes some progress

    One word... traction boards! Well that’s two words but they work, and don’t beat yourself up too much dang near everyone who wheels has been stuck at least once.

    And get the floor mats all muddy? What you thinking? Lol, just kidding. I'm not sure any electronic wizardry would get it out but that Toyota demo in the sand makes me wonder. I believe it's A-Trac function. I buried my first 4x4 like that before. Lots of shoveling, a hi-lift jack and wood for under the tires and I got out. 1969 3/4 ton with rear locker...no wizardry there
