Most likely a Tacoma underneath the Jeep!

willardguy - 6-12-2014 at 12:56 PM

just dig down to the valve stems, air down, drive it out!

motoged - 6-12-2014 at 01:32 PM

That's what happens when you let your kid take the jeep to the beach.....sand all over the seats and carpet... :rolleyes:

That only works if you do it in a timely manner, but even then it is iffy in a jeep.

J.P. - 6-14-2014 at 09:08 AM

no one mentioned how long that thing was left setting there surely that didnt happen with one cycle of the tide. :?:

wessongroup - 6-14-2014 at 07:34 PM

He looks very happy .... maybe he just "found" it ... :biggrin:

Udo - 6-15-2014 at 12:14 PM

The salt water toasted all the wiring and the water also went into the engine block...

No way the jeep will be driven again.

I think you underestimate the ingenuity of the mexican people.lol

TMW - 6-23-2014 at 08:11 AM

Remember the guy that got his Tundra stuck somewhere around Bahia Asuncion and the ocean water flooded it. They had a Mexican mechanic get it going and he drove it back to the states. There is a video of it here somewhere.

David K - 6-23-2014 at 08:17 AM

Actually I think it died at Punta Prieta ( by L.A. Bay jcn.)? An amazing story still.

TMW - 6-23-2014 at 10:54 AM

Here is the youtube video story. The getting stuck is about 48 min. in.

I have pulled all makes and models of trucks/cars/vans out of the unforgiving sand here on the beach but I must admit it gives me a special joy to pull the Toyota trucks out with my F150 or F250.

That reminds me of when I wrecked my 93 Toyota truck in Mexicali in 07. My brother was pulling me across the border with his F250 and when we got to the booth agent he said "well son of a gun, I never thought I'd see a Ford pulling a Toyota".

As I recall it was never quite the same.
Think these incidents will show up on CARFAX :lol:

Looks like DK's truck. Perhaps the tire pressure gauge was off. Not to worry, Barry will be here soon.

Barry A. - 6-23-2014 at 08:12 PM

----------yes, with my F-250 "wonder" vehicle to the rescue, but I will deflate the tires adequately as I have learned from many years experience, and other sources.

I have a 4 door and it is an Off Road not a Sport!

TW, don't forget about the Jeep that pulled your Toyota before your Brother showed up in his Ford. :lol:

TMW - 6-24-2014 at 08:31 AM

Yes, thanks Ken you were my savior that day.

BooJumMan - 6-24-2014 at 09:42 AM

Ugh! I WISH I had video/photos of me in my 96 4Runner pulling out a crewcab F-350 on 37's stuck in cobble stones. I put on my lockers, 4lo, and drove into wet sand to pull them out.

The guys were like...no way are you gonna pull us out, but your the only person around so lets try it. I think I converted them to Toyota's after that...maybe...

wessongroup - 6-24-2014 at 11:59 AM

Appears more than a few have had the "experience" ... of getting stuck

My grandfather used to tell stories about AZ .. back in the early 1900's ... talk about bad roads .. suppose that may have been true for a lot of places in that time period

We have it pretty good today ... vehicle and road wise, considering

Thanks enjoy the stories and pictures

It's a given when exploring back-roads Baja, or anywhere for that matter. It's all part of the adventure.

:yes:

Smart getting onto the wet sand as you would have not been able to budge that truck on the same cobble stone. Thanks for the cobble stone tip.

Yeah they deserve to convert to a TOYota. 37's on a 1-ton :rolleyes:

Full size diesel trucks are made to haul. All others just haul A S S.

Interesting how Mexican locals seem to get along just fine with their ford escort, toyota corollas and nissan sentras. Just saying.

Coming from the boat ramp at Mulege one morning, I watched a guy in a 4WD Dodge Diesel (what I drive) drive onto the loose sand and bury it. About 2 minutes later his buddy, also in a 4WD Dodge Diesel blithely drove onto the loose sand to pull him out and..............Buried it. They flagged me down and asked if I would pull them out.....NO...I said....and drove to Almeja where I could sit with a cold Pacifico and watch....You cant fix stupid...

Well, at least you coulda told them to let some air out of their tires, and then they woulda beeeen smarter!! Problem solved.
