get a bag jack and alot of wood. 3 or four 4/8 ply and a few railway ties. jack it up and then you actually may be able to drive away. scott

 

VERDICT:

it took two trucks (dad;s 4x4 Z71 and step dad's 4x4 dually one ton a 5 ton come-along (as anchor to convient railroad utility post).
the problems were:

A. a county sheriff with NO sense of humor "you'all gonna KILL your selves if you try to pull that there german truck out tonight - you let it sit til daylight or ima gonna arrest you all!" (not a joke!)

B. it was 20 degrees and dry when i slid off trail into edge of lake. when we went back in morning it was 40 degrees and raining. couldnt get recovery vehicle in front of rover or within 60 foot of rear of rover cause everything that drove near it also slide into lake.

C. some idiot seeing lights from interstate and calling 911 as "some truck just drove into lake! SEND HELP! NOW!" so the shole fire department, water rescue unit AND city/county/state police showed up (I was the local water rescue guru in the area along with my stepdad when i lived there so that part was KINDA funny... sorta)
[shoulda seen the sheriff try to figure out if the guy in the army dry suit was WITH his water rescue team (they all wore safety orange) or if i really was the driver of the vehicle - i had all my dive gear packed into rover to bring it back out to WA from home is the reason it was in the rover btw}

more to follow...

pilsner,

Good to sea you are back home with us - now I'm confused, I have an 04 Disco II, was it made in Germany also or was that just the earlier ones, like 2000 and below.

next time you go off like that take a Sat phone er something with you to keep in touch, preferably a live video feed.

Robert

 

Glad to hear your ok and you got the rover out. I don't think a rover would have made a good artificial reef in that lake

 

Oh man, sounds like it's turning into a real mess. We need more pictures!

 

VIDEOS OR GTFO!!!!
