Stuck Tacomas! Pics and Stories

Meh, I see stuck TRD Pros, and not a lot of stuck plain jane open diff SR5s, too.

Driving/recovery skills are what set the stuck crowd from the not-stuck crowd.

I'm of the mindset that those fancy wizbangs that the new trucks are coming with (A-trac, etc...) are more of a liability to the novice driver than they are an asset. It gives a false sense of security and people get themselves into trouble, like those 3 3rd gens that all rolled or got into some serious wreckage in the same weekend in So Cal a few months back.

 

I did intentionally take the most difficult line. There is a very good bypass available for those unwilling to test the limits of their nerves, trucks, and skills!

 

Bump for more stories.

 

Dude where were you?

 

Were too embarrassed...

 

Ehh I just don’t have pics. Plenty of stories lol

 

Went off-roading after work the other day. Here is where I lost all steering and slid into a ditch


Other guy tried to turn around so we could go buy a strap to get me out and got stuck too.



Three hours later both of us made it out with the help of a fellow TW member. Here is mine the next morning. There’s still some bits and pieces stuck underneath the skid plate.

 

Saw this a few years ago at Bell Mtn in Georgia. Driver didnt bother to get out and look before choosing his line.

 

Looks like a good line to me. Why didn't he keep going?

 

Lol...I guess at least he didn't try to turn out of it in a panic and send it rolling. Lucky he stopped when did.

 

Looks like he's driving a TRD Sport. So no rear locker...

 

I don't know if either one of his rear tires are on the ground in that pic. Even if the passenger rear was, and if it was a TRD OR, with all the weight leaning forward and on one side in a ditch like that and hardly any in the back, he isn't going anywhere but backward and only with a tug.

He's really lucky he didn't flop it there

 

it was an impromptu thing

 

Those are always the best

 

Best revived Thread I've read in a while.
