I actually joined a local facebook JEEP club to see if anyone could help. One super nice guy was like no Problem, I can be there in 30 minutes. So I drove out in my jag and meet the guy, he had a serious Jeep:

And it was funny because half the comments on the facebook page we're like " blah, just leave it, it's a land rover.. hahahahahaha"

Turns out the club president in his jacked all wheel locking diffs couldn't even make it half way to where my Disco was stuck!!!!!!

We spent an hour and a half winching out his JEEP without even close to my LR. So eat **** all you jeep fans!

The mess after trying:

SO Yes, day three the Disco sits in a river. Got a great lead on a buddy with a Samara Rock crawler that has pulled out an H1 Hummer... We'll see how that goes tomorrow

I took my Disco 1 out a few weeks ago, first time, and I was amazed at the terrain and conditions it could handle with a completely stock truck! all season radials, no lift or anything. I kept right up with the other LR's in the group, and even had a Jeep get stuck behind me in what I went through with no problem! These things are amazing off road!
I was a bit timid on some of the more serious trails, and I doubt if I would take it swimming like you did without some modifications (at least some better tires) Good humor about the Jeep that couldn't get to your truck! best of luck getting it out!! Keep up the pictures!

You may need to lift the *** end up a bit. More than likely there is something stuck behind the rear differential or axle tube. This would cause it to be almost impossible to pull out. If you pick the truck up in the rear with a highlift Jack and get some max tracks under the rear tires you may be able to free the truck.
