Woohoo Dave! I see you got out the "escape hatch" :D So were you able to drive out or snatched?

Much damage Dave? Looks like you were lucky?

Is that where we all went that time?

TUFFEROZA: That looks nasty man. Did you have to replace the mirror? How'd you get it back on its wheels with that dune in the way? Good work anyways!

TOYHATSU: I was stuck pretty good in those pics. Even with a Toyota Bundera snatching me out under full noise she still wasn't budging. But persistance prevailed!

MURCOD: Yeah, that down at the place that we took you northern boys. Mike and I have cut a few more crossings since last time and we are trying to make some more before winter hits. However this one was a little too crazy. :oops: No damage though :armsup: The drivers side was basically resting on the bank but in was soft mud so I was pretty lucky there. Why you boys coming back down for a play?

No I msg you long before this happened. I had just got there when i messaged you. This is the result of boredom waiting for Mike to get there!

Dave, no amazingly the mirror just folded back. it kinda went over prity slowly and in a slow forward motion. dented in the door and the front fender, didnt damage the fender flare lukily. i have pulled the fender out and pushed a little of the door damage out. i'll replace them one of these days. haha

i used my trusty lil sand shovel (stole it off my nephew) and dug away about half that dune on the wheel side. then my mates and i pushed it back onto 2 1/2 feet not level but enough for it to just balance there, they held it there while i hooked up a rope to a passing landcruiser owner (well his cruiser not him ;) ) we nabbed as he was driving past and he pulled me out backwards. then we all piled back in and kept going. :P

i've done more stupid stunts and stuff since but have been lucky enough not to tip it over again.

That looks like some nasty damage. Good to know that i'm not the only one with dented panels on my Roza. I've also got a nice gouge in my Drivers side door thanks to a rock, and both of my fenders have been pushed back about 10 mm, passenger side due to a support beam of my car port and the drivers side due to a cement fence post. Luckily they were pretty easy to fix, but my gouge in the door will be there for a while. Looks too expensive to get fixed and I'm sure that if i fix it, I'll end up doing it again anyways.
