2 Patrols towing out a fully loaded Truck!

[Mark]

Here's a good one of one of our delivery trucks fully loaded up with over 20 tonne of rubber that got stuck coming up my road to our depot.

Actually he wasn't stuck he was just to woosy to crank up the revs in his truck and he tried to reverse back after he ran out of power and fell into a deep gutter.

My Gu Nissan Patrol is at the rear and my mates Patrol at the front and after a couple of shots we managed to pull him out.

the guy didnt even say thanks...We should've just left him and see how much it would've cost him to get craned out...$$$

Pretty good effort Mark!

Didn't even say thanks, you should have just pushed him back in the gutter and let him call for help!

Indeed, that would cost thousands to get someone out!

[Timbo]

Haha that's an awesome effort. Just goes to show how tough the Patrols are! But I'm sure a couple of other brands of 4wd could have done the same thing.. but for the sake of these forums.. Patrols win!

I'd like to see 2 Rav 4's pulling that out

Lol........My thought exactly bloody ungrateful bastards no pleasing some ppl.

Shame you didn't get it on video would have made a great post on youtube.

Personally after the lake of gratitude I would have sent a copy of the photo & the Bill for the recovery to his Boss......lol

I know, I couldn't believe that!

ungrateful you know what.

A friend who was watching took a video of this on his phone actually, I forgot about that.

I'll give him a ring and see if he still has it.

Thanks for reminding me.

Good news, he still has it, not sure on the quality as it was done on a mobile phone.

I'll get it off him today and post it here!

Hope its a good vid, it was a nightmare of a day!!!

sounds good can't wait

Hey We got it!

Its quite poor quality and the video was taken at the top of the hill after the truck was pulled out of the ditch so It's not the best video around but it gives you the idea.

I have a confession to make though, We needed an extra 4wd at the end to get up the steep hill to the property so this video shows the old LandCruiser helping out at the end...

The two Patrol's did actually pull him out first though...haha
