    Why not to go off road without recovery equipment

    Post by Crash on Sat May 22, 2010 6:42 am

    I got my XJ last week, and finally got a chance to take it out and test it... And this happens...



    Me and buddy were out and came up to this pond, Theres a small dam but the XJ was too wide to cross it, so we decided to test how deep the mud was. It seemed fairly solid where we tested it, so I decided to try it. I got about 3/4 of the way and my passenger side tires just sunk. Before I knew it was down to the doors on that side. I tried every trick in the book that I knew, nothing was working. It started over heating so I had to admit defeat and call my buddy to pull me out. On the the pix...















    after it was over heated...







    The ruts it left







    After cleanin the wheels off so I could get home.
