Got a bit bogged on the weekend

[d_generate]

Hey, I went for a cruise with the guys at AUSubaru up past Two Rocks on the weekend, I managed to stick the sump guard to the sand 3 times in a row, here's a couple of snaps.

That little Frontera/Isuzu is as stock as a rock and absolutely unstoppable, it spends most of it's time pulling Subi's out, I'd recommend one to anyone 2.2 swb

First time I got stuck, new fold up shovel got a good workout.

3rd time, I tried to slip in backwards next to the orange Gen 2 but it slipped down the bank a bit into the tide area, figured I'd try to go forward to get out, didn't think it was that possible to go down that far lol, 3 snatch straps and a slightly bent tow bar later & I was out.

Pretty much the same spot & the tide got a bit scary as we camped overnight, just glad we didn't wake up floating in the Indian ocean.

Your letting the team downi always brag about subies being unstoppable on the beach.
It must have been those low profile tyres you have on:iconwink:
Looks like a good time was had with the boys

Yeah 205/60/16's lol, I do have a tendency to go further up the beach than most but I was trying to turn & you can see it wasn't that wide, after that it was just a comedy of errors.

I think only one of 8 Subi's didn't get bogged and 2 broke, one to the point we towed it into town (Frontera again) then Paul drove back to Kelmscot to pick up his car trailer & Cruiser to rescue it but most of these cars are either L series or Brumby's so a little weaker in some areas but still great in the soft stuff with their crawler low range & lack of weight..

Though at the end of the day I don't think anything would have gone through that tidal area which is usually the hardest part of most beaches, even walking on it your feet went down 5-6 inches, it is a notoriously soft beach compared to most we have, a mate even has trouble in his quad up there.

Beautiful spot!!! Sorry to hear about the boggings, but I guess that's all a part of sand driving.

I'm the one on the right, between Paul & I we got about 10 small sand whiting 2 tiny rock cod, 2 good size herring and a tiny cobbler so all in all not much luck I'm afraid.

Brilliant stuff, d_generate!! That's the spirit!

Forward, ever. Backward, never!

But if I'd gone any more forward I'd have ended up in the Indian Ocean lol. I'd hate to have been on my own - though I doubt I'd ever get in that situation without backup.....too smart/chicken.
