Yo-mayo ... almost drowned - Toyota Land Cruiser, 4.5 liter, 1996
Well, it’s a beautiful cloudy day, we are gathering tents ... we decided to ride in the mud - we got dirty ... now we need to wash ourselves!
The river bank in this place at the time of the swim was a strip of gentle descent (4 meters wide) with a sharp cliff at 45 degrees. The soil in that place is crushed stone with sand, loose enough even for the weight of a person.
But the desire to drive at least half a wheel into the water completely repulsed my attention, and the fact that the water receded, bringing the treasured cliff closer, somehow did not attract my attention at all.
Having driven into the water, we immediately found ourselves on the starboard side on a 45-degree slope, and the wheels of the left side somehow kept the car from drowning it to the very roof with a possible water hammer of the dryer! ... as I remember, it already distorts!
Continuing to move, my passenger (well, my friend was sitting next to me, and not my wife ... O_O) notices that we are a bit dragged into the depths contrary to the direction of movement ... I start to unscrew the steering wheel and try to get ashore, but it wasn’t there - the car digs mercilessly weak soil ... digs in quickly ... I think: "The most important thing is not to stall" ... after a short struggle, we turn our faces to the shore: there is no water only on my rug, all the other seats are already wet.
Fleeing the sinking ship! … kidding! ... we hook on the winch, since the length of the cable is enough to reach a tree on the shore ... and ?! ... the power of the 9000 Chinese winch is simply not enough: it sparks, it stinks of melting wire, but it pulls ... while the attempt of the wheels to help the winch leads to even more earthwork.
Shout out to the women to carry the camera.
We blow off the front wheels to 1 kg ... and ?! ... it went ... even the winch stopped sparking.
We dry: salon, documents, a bag of potatoes, a compressor, etc. etc.

I probably don’t need a snorkel, otherwise I drive near the Volga, but it’s deep all the same: 0)
electronics is missing in this car as a class: carburetor; even switching to gas from vacuum
well, the sutra took 15 minutes and was normal; the second day I dry land in the wind salon: 0) ... I checked the oil - it’s normal, I didn’t take a sip of water ... I’ll look in the transmission later, because I’ll still deal with the suspension in a week
a winch is necessary for such jeeps, otherwise you have to go far behind the tractor ...
your wheels are cool!
when I saw a spare tire on my Pajero sport, I wanted to buy more of these, sorry I can’t find it ...
women in emergency situations can "hang" a lot, so it's rude to come back to life; 0)

maybe dig deeper! ;0) ... crushed stone with sand in the aquatic environment oh how quickly they take a heavy foreign body :0)
to pull up a rut / snowdrift or someone to pull up a thread ... yes, I didn’t plan to hang a jeep on a tree with a winch :0) ... I think I’ll have to make a block + an extension cord for a cable or rearrange it, and put a more powerful one forward (this is an extreme option)
Backfill question, what does a 9,000th winch do on an 80-ke? I took the 12 thousandth from the pradik, because sometimes it was not enough, and it weighs almost one and a half times less!
it's true! ... all the more so since the time has come for many nodes in the suspension (oil seals, rubber bands, etc.)
once again into the water ... I think that this is all for cardans, etc., not without consequences.
more precisely, in a good way, it is now necessary to do prevention throughout the running gear.
A classic… Many “rogues†are drawn to such situations…=) “Female look…†liked it) ) )
but lope of positive emotions and pleasant memories ... in spite of nothing! ☺☺☺
I agree: the jeep provokes to climb somewhere; and in what secluded places you can climb on jeeps! ... and that's good - there is a dynamic in life! :O)
When the route is long, then I also get stuck at the final stage :o)
And if we climb in the city through the forests, then often in the initial part of the route we reach the very tomatoes and climb out until the evening. :O)
=))))) it seems that my wife and I are not extreme sports at once ... but the terranik constantly provoked me to get into some kind of ass ... and always climbed out almost to the road =)))) usually stuck at the end a couple of meters before the normal road =))
oh, how I understand!
It was at the end of September and we were sorting out a summer camp: my wife was going to sleep in the car, otherwise on the ground in a tent it was cold and prudent to put the warmest sleeping bag, a blanket, a pillow, a sweater into the car ... well, it all floated around the cabin.
It’s good that the car didn’t stall in the water, otherwise, until they got there for some kind of help, the car would be sucked in and dragged a bit to the depth (there is a strong slope of the coast, somewhere around 45 degrees) ... and then it would be very difficult to pull it out.
Friends of the gas workers said that they pulled the UAZ out of the mud in the autumn with the Urals, only the bridges of the UAZ remained in the mud: o)
yes ... I remember in a river with a fast current, they died out on a tadpole ... while we watched Cho Cavo for about 15 minutes, the car got 10 cm bogged down in the sand ... fortunately it was large there
the thing is ... and also in the cabin the water is your pindets
Well, I'm talking about this and say that in the river everyone is equal! … and with untethered and otvyazny stub! ;O)
no… I had a stub seeing that we had good articulation in the suspension… one dick posted everything…
And here it doesn’t matter if there is a stub or not, the wheels are sucked into the sand with rubble ... but if you stand knee-deep in water on the sandy bottom, then after a few minutes your legs begin to sink slightly in the sand ... but by car it happens faster and deeper: o)
it’s almost the same situevina we had on the shooting range ... current and muzzle and ass in the water ... and the car was in full swing ... there was a diagonal line ... despite the fact that there was no stub behind ... water in the entire cabin, cm 10 ... ☺☺☺
I was also sorry, but "selya vie" ... they are such adventures - you don’t know where it will drag you; o)
