Got a bit stuck on Saturday

Barrbeast · 09-10-2016, 23:20

Went to the local offroad site on Saturday (first time in a while and first time since I'd had the Lokka fitted). Was going well without much of a hitch, even successfully managed the big pond that I had avoided up until now... but then it happened!

Smaller pond that I'd been through fine before albeit about a year and a half ago. Straight in all going fine and then that sudden slowdown and stop that we all dread

Tried everything I could driving technique wise and then (much to my two passengers amusement

) realised I'd have to get out and find a winch point. Looked out the window... water above the bottom of the door so crawled through to the boot as the boot door is higher up. Realised the childlock must be on when I couldn't get it open!

As I winched out I realised what had happened - bellied on soft mud!

Enjoy the pics, thank goodness for winches and long straps

Interior is a bit soggy, central locking isn't working (alarm still is though so think it's the relay at fault) and the rear demist isn't working but that's all

Trol power!

Carpets are now 2 thirds removed

Well done Rob love it, been there done that, nice when you get yourself out, just shows you have to have the kit, Rick

Well done Rob.

That's going to be one mighty clean up!

He'll be finding wet patches for months and random piles of silt

Not so luxurious anymore, thought these trolls weren't meant to get stuck

Exactly!

Cheers guys, yeh pretty chuffed at managing to self recover.

Trol's can get stuck same as everyone else Zac, just maybe not as often as some silver Terranos

Carpets were like a big sponge and have been binned as nowhere to store them or dry them out. Thinking to get some rubber matting and cut to fit or else some of the stuff they use for coating pickup beds, thoughts?

Hi,
Congrats on the recovery. I would be sleeping in the shed for a month if I brought the Terrano home like that

I have used Horse stable rubber matting to cut matts/ flooring out of before different thickness and can withstand everything a horse can drop on it (if you get my meaning) and still wash off clean and smell free.

Looks like you had a lot of fun

My carpets got binned along time ago for the exact same reason.
Rubber matting in mine now.
P.S tell Allison to invest in some wellies

Did the speakers survive mate?

Barrbeast · 11-10-2016, 13:10

Thanks for the matting suggestions Thomas61, missus wasn't too bothered as I've got a runabout for commuting as well

Elty I passed on your suggestion to Alison

I did have lots of fun

and it's good to know the Trol can come out of a flooding like that relatively unscathed!

The speakers did survive thanks Doug, one of the first things I checked once I was out!
