[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 285434, member: 5729"] Yeah the key to all that rambling was to think out side the box , tying a rail tight against the tyres from one side to the other will only let you travel one quarter of a tyre rotation at which point you should be parked on top of the rail and up on top of the ground at which point you will need to cut the rail free before it comes back up under neath your vehicle . Ideal rail would be a 4x2 or 4 inch round sappling and being the width of your vehivle or wider means it spreads the weight over alot of ground. Finding a rail you can use and getting it in place under a bogged vehicle and tied tight through the holes in your rims then cutting it free and layin more timber or stones down to drive out will take probly 2 hours if no problems occur , so its not easy but it will rescue you when the easier options fail. Order of operations to me would be Look close by for a tow Try phone a friend Assess how far you need to walk to get phone service or help Quick dig and try rock it out If all these fail then its time to get bodgy as sticks break wire scratches and dints and damage can happen. Jacking vehicles to pack under the wheels in soft conditions just plan and simple sucks and the rail option is my goto but luckily i havent used it in years as i usually ensure theres a better plan B.
