[@geoffmackley]

Thanks mate

[@bacoon6499]

get some front lockers, lot cheaper than calling a towie whenever you get a little stuck 😂

[@geoffmackley]

It was a Toyota, after some winching we drove it up the hillside

[@gdog1443]

I was going to say unlike a hilux to get stuck

[@geoffmackley]

We mostly drove it up ! Toyota rocks

[@gdog1443]

Why did I end up on the tow truck when it drove it self out?

[@baron30001]

That was not the vehicle they were winching up if thats what the camera was attached to. N80 hilux dont have a solid front axle and that car that had the camera under it did.

[@geoffmackley]

@@baron30001 Thats right, good spotting my assistant Cayleb forgot to attach the bloody camera to it so we had NO winchout footage :-) that shot was created to fix the mess

[@geoffmackley]

Because it had rolled on the way down the hillside.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

Blown front diff? Electronic control for 4wd system fritz out?

[@robertwaters2772]

A set of chains would be a good help

[@geoffmackley]

Agreed Robert, we had them if needed
