Just spotted this on another mog forum. Goes to show how tough these trucks are...



Bossed it  8) cause of the chassis strength at the front   :P

Can't really work out why this fella gets stuck... It doesn't look too muddy. Low tread on the tyres maybe? There are a few occasions on the video where it doesn't look like the lockers are engaged, or perhaps not working properly? What do you think?

Edit... He isn't scared to give it some right foot that's for sure!

It seemed he was missing the gears sometimes when trying to rock it, that probably didn't help. And then a few times he backed off of the throttle and went the other way before it had come to a forced stop, so not making the most of the movement he had? It sounded pretty sick at the end - any idea why that may be? It didn't look low enough to suck in water and diesels don't mind getting wet?

yeah, not the best driver, he could have kept going at a lot of points. plus he was rushing the box, between forward and reverse it crunched a lot, something you should NEVER do on a mog gearbox, lots of money to repair  :-\

i dont know why it sounded rough, i wondered if it was running low on diesel.

That was one thought that I've had since watching it too. Or overheating? No idea what effect that has on a diesel engine but a muddy radiator never goes down well with any vehicle. Again though, it didn't look deep enough for that.
