There he is!

Please leave the short D handled shovels to the mall crawlers. When you need to really dig out a vehicle, a standard length $14.00 shovel from Lowes or Home Depot will allow you to move a lot of material without killing your back and give you the leverage to actual dig into tough material. I'd be willing to bet that with 4 traction boards and a traditional shovel, you would have been able to self recover yourself from that situation.

Badass crew to get you out! It's what the offroad community is about right there. Was stuck despite all the recovery gear in a similar situation but no service, so I always carry the inreach now.

That is so obviously wet from a distance, you had to know there was a really good chance of this happening. I know it’s easy to Monday morning quarterback but damn! Also you shouldn’t tighten a shackle with a wrench, you should tighten by hand and back off a half turn. This is done so that if the shackle is bent you will likely still be able to remove it. It’s a standard practice in industry and off off road recovery. Glad you got out safe

It looked dry to me, once I hit that spot I knew I was going to be stuck for sure. Thanks for the tip on the shackle not using a wrench is just totally easier as well(one less thing to do). I really appreciate your comment as recovery is not my area of expertise but I hope to learn more about it as I venture off into these sometimes unforgiving places. 😎 I’m thinking also maybe with the color grading I’m the video it looked darker and wet but In person it was a really dry salty color. Maybe mention your experience or what you saw in the video that makes you see it was obviously wet. I appreciate your advice. 👊🏻

That dry lake bed is no joke. And the acidity of the mud EATS up everything it touches. Once you get stuck like that you'll be cleaning mud off the underside for ever lol.

Man, getting stuck like that, middle of nowhere on a quick decision to change course is scary. I got stuck in the mountains this winter the same way. Good job getting out. Kinda funny you’re stuck and decide to a product promo. This video brings back a few memories. When I was a kid, we’re talking 40 + years ago, my dad was part of a mining claim in the Mojave. We did all kinds of exploring around jawbone and last chance canyon.

The Mojave Road is not something that should be done alone. Even though nothing is technical the length of it can take it's toll on a vehicle. Without someone with you help can be days or more away if at all depending upon where you are. Walking out would not be an option. Soda Lake is very deceiving. You are lucky you didn't get farther out there before breaking through the crust and had to abandon your vehicle until the mud tightened up enough to get rescue vehicles in there. Make sure you completely get all of that mud out of everything and follow it up with ensuring you completely lubricate everything and oil everything on the underside with a compound that neutralizes the salt. If you don't you are sure to start seeing rust everywhere and multiple electrical shorts. That mud out there is extremely caustic even when it is just dried dirt the dust is very damaging to wires and electrical systems.

Last march I got my F 250 stuck in snow. I was going to jack up the truck one side at a time and put fire wood in the rut/hole under the tires but tried the traction boards first. I dug out a lot of snow from around the tire to reduce friction. It took a couple of trys but i got out, breaking the both boards in the process. They work as advertised. I bought a new set of boards but thought a second set would have been better.

@jonnytacooutdoors

Wow, glad you were able to get out. It’s awesome that your traction boards worked. I think if I would have rolled back onto the traction boards and then put would just pass the traction boards. I think I would’ve rolled right out but instead, I rode past the traction boards, and then I got stuck there. Like you said to having a second set, a total of four traction boards would make a difference also.

The El Paso's are pretty cool to explore. Last Chance Canyon is a fun trail! Did you do any of the optional obstacles? A Tacoma can do everything, except the V Notch. It might, I don't know, but after seeing a few built Jeeps take damage on the V Notch, I've always been too paranoid to try it. Hella years ago, before I bought a Tacoma, I had a first gen Tundy. Last chance was the first trail I tried in it. It was an EPIC failure. I was by myself and ended up stuck. It took me a few hours to get moving again. I took the L and turned around and went home lol. Glad you got off of that lake bed, that shit will eat a Tacoma. Wash the hell out of that frame!
