Stuck Tacoma's-Lets see 'Em

Doesn't look bad but I got sunk into a sinkhole with 30 minutes before tied started coming in, thought I lost my truck in the river.. Had a friend come out in his full size to tug me out.

 

^^ Time to invest in some lockers.

 

I got the e-locker! But don't have the funds for a front locker right now making $10 an hour ha.

 

Your truck looks awesome man. You should do a build page on it

 

Thanks man, sadly I bought it with lift and tires, everything else I've done myself. I am actually thinking about doing a build page though. I have been fabricating a rear bumper hopefully that will be done either today or tomorrow and sliders should be on this weekend.

 

It looks sick. DOIT...DOIT

 

I will work on it this weekend. I'll post some pictures of the bumper tomorrow, hopefully mounted up.

 

Wharton? Those hole are deep!

 

Damn there are some good ones in there

 

PM'd

 

Put my Taco through some nasty stuff and haven't been stuck...yet. But I did recently have to pull out a jeep Cherokee out of a mess.

 

Was having a bit too much fun today...thought I could go through the tiny mud hole. I was wrong...




The dogs were happy!



The wife...not as impressed.



After a 2km walk (our feet caked in mud), I got my awesome neighbour to un-stuck me in his Ram 3500. *sigh*

 

Man, if you were gonna get stuck, might as well have just driven straight through the middle of the thing! Only problem is you never really PLAN on getting stuck.

 

LOL, too true. The "plan" was to skirt the edge and make a bit of a splash.

Not too terribly hard to get a peg-legged 5 lug stuck it would seem...

 

Lol

 

After making my way through a bunch of difficult trails I apparently started to feel confident. I decided I would try and go through a rutted out muddy area. Well that turned out to be a huge mistake. The front sank on me and within a couple minets I started taking on water. Here are some pictures and a video of me getting pulled out. Cleaning the truck out was a lot of work to say the least. I pulled out all of the interior and separated the carpet from the padding in order to get it properly dried out. The water stayed on the the drivers side only so it wasn't too bad. Everything is clean and good as new now, but my god was I terrified that I ruined my truck. My face at the beginning of the video is what I look like when I am terrified.

This was my first trip actually 4-Wheeling and I had a blast. I would have liked to avoid the water part, but sometimes s#!t happens. The truck did really well besides this.

nicely done man! thats how you treat a 2012!

ya screw water in the cab, hasn't happened to me and i hope it never does. looks like a nightmare.

were you coming to moab or the wyo/mt adventure? I forget?

 

Not mine but close enough

His truck is a 2wd by the way

 

He was planning on coming to the WY meet I believe.

I avoid deep water and mud like that. Too many electronics to get fucked up on these newer rigs. Better watch your front diff to see if the axle seals start leaking and maybe start watching your voltage in case the alternator decides to crap out. Starter may go too but you will find that out real quick. That's all I can think of that people have had problems with after sinking them like that. Hopefully you don't have any of those problems!

Also did you do the rear diff breather extension mod? If not you may want to swap out the gear oil in your rear diff and wouldn't hurt to do the front diff while you are at it.

 

help im stuck on this tree...
