Bogged on a wet bush road - what would you do?

Marty, when telstra do during the wet is they have a vehicle at most locations locked in a container and they helicopter out to the communities. Now I know you wont be able to afford that so Mudrunner is on the money mate.

If you are going to install lockers wouldn't auto lockers be more economical no fuss to use and more reliable?

I think Growler is the big fan of them, would be interesting to hear his point of view.

With good tyres as already said you should be able to get in it a lot deeper LOL

Challenging drive to work for sure.

Would be nice. I do fly a lot on charters in the wet. But every now and then you can get caught with an early or late rain.

Cheers

Aren't lockers an open diff until you flick the switch?

As good as lockers are off road, driving on road without LSD is crap. It changes the driving character hugely and if those pesky seals blow then you are nowhere fast. Nissans LSD is so good it would be a long way down my list to replace with a locker which gets used maybe 1-2% of the time... Not to talk up my own abilities but a LSD truck with a decent driver should be able to get almost anywhere a locked one would with the exception of when wheel travel is exceeded. Maybe a front locker to start with could be useful but...

So typical fold up one.. To be honest with you here I see that style doing f all with your situation. These require soft ground and their bury themselves to give you the strength. I think you'll find this one will just skid along the top of the hard crust threw the slush..
Check out some YouTube vids of em.

Yeah I did look on the university of YouTube. My thoughts with that extension and mine I could get it in on the edge of the road. Longer pull reducing the angle. 200 bucks. Worth a shot I thought.
