Default I'm S-T-U-C-K

After the lift kit and new tires I tried a trail I had previous failed on, fortunately last time I was able to back out. This time, I did make it past the first channel (deep water) so I was feeling great. Little did I know the next upcoming channel was just that much wider and that much deeper. She's currently sill stuck, had to leave her over night, tomorrow being mothers day my only option is calling a customized JEEP outfit in the area to see if any one of their employees wants to make some money! Anyone in the Panama City FL - Destin Area that wants to make some $$$$?

A high lift isn't going to be much help, doesn't look like you have anywhere to jack from.

Once it's back home, be sure to drain and replace all fluids and grease your propshafts.

There's a reason I've been using my sig since '95. lol

It's difficult to tell by the pictures, but is there a tree in relativly close proximity? If so, go buy a "come along" winch perhaps or even a Harbor Freight electric winch. Best of luck.

only if you were in Texas!

had two recoveries today, dodge ram 1500 and an f250 that sunk to its frame. for the f250 one my rover had an xterra as an anchor and i drug us both closer trying to winch out, then i had an f250 as an anchor diesel and drug us both so then the f250 had a jeep and still drus us forward. another jeep pulled up and the xterra got behind it and with both of us winching we drug the vehicles again till an f150 anchored to the xterra.

good times!

Tried that, the tree was about 50' away so it wasn't helping much unfortunately. I was thinking the high lift and a 2x6 might have help. I had the diff locked and the two wheels that are lock (killing me it's not all four), I could have in theory got it jack up high enough on the grassy side to get something under to give me some forward momentum. As it's sits now it's just center high, when I put it in gear, both those tires locked just churn water..

Yup, been down this road before. Why the breather tube for the rear axle is so short yet the front come all the way up under the hood? I generally have to replace me rear axle fluid after every adventure. Killed the plastics fill plugs I've done it so much and just got the brass replacement ones a moth ago.

I meant it doesn't look like you have any jacking points on your Disco. You'll at least need a lift-mate also.

Just dead stop on my forward momentum, hit some seriously soft sand and went center high, tried to back out but no luck!!

Skip the hi-lift, I had mine for 2 years and never used it. You need a winch!
