Got out today for my second proper laning day. Things didn't quite go to plan but I'm please to say I didn't get stuck and my truck is still in one piece.
Discoraves D2 on the other hand isn't feeling so great. We started with a pretty rough lane with lots of wet rock. I did get stuck on two sections but with a bit of backing up and a bit more forward motion I got over the first one. The second took a few more attempts but finally got there. Disco was waiting at the top for me after simply flooring it up.
We then headed off to a shorter lane with deep ruts and a bit of a step at the end. We both had no issue here and then made our way to pick a friend daughter up. On tthe way disaster struck and Disco smashed a UJ on his prop. He quickly whipped it off, leaving him with rear wheel drive only. We decided to do one more lane before heading home.
It was a gentle lane with on tricky corner into a steep slope. The little vit niped up no pproblems but lack of four wheel drive meant the D2 struggled and then the front end slipped leaving him in this position.
With no traction at all we rigged up the farm jack as a hand winch.
This is how it went, look how calmly Ben walks away.
