Lessons learnt today...

...when getting a Suzuki Jimny stuck in the middle of a field:

 

1) stock fencing does not make a good improvised ground mat, unless you really like cutting tangled stock fencing wire out from underneath a car that is already up to its axles in thick mud

 

2) a 12mm polypropylene rope, whilst giving you the length you require (in combination with 2 recovery straps and a thicker rope and 30m of winch cable) stretches a LONG way before it snaps (with a Hell of a bang!)

 

3) Putting a ratchet strap around a tyre does not magically transform your car into one of these:

 

 

It generally just makes it a more efficient digger

 

4) Reducing tyre pressure leaves you with a stuck car in the middle of the field with flat tyres

 

5) A winch is a surprisingly effective way of removing a fencepost that is driven in a couple of feet

 

6) a 3" willow sapling is surprisingly strong - can pull a Jimny out sideways!

 

Of course, it didn't start raining until I had to get out of the cab to start the recovery process... I now have all my fence posts and wire dumped in the middle of the field and I'll have to carry them by hand

How did you get a Jimny stuck??

 

They're that light, they 'normally' float over a muddy field...

 

Heard many stories of landy drivers laughing at Jimnys at these pay & play off road sites, only then to get stuck and the Jimnys just sail past them though / over the mud.
