Cruiser rescue in Zambia - advice needed urgently!

[zepplin]

A mate's wife deep in the Zambian bush needs advice to rescue their Cruiser. Let's get this sorted before we let loose with the woman driver jokes guys!

[Hangover]

High lift jack en block and tackle to the tree on the left shoudl get you sorted... Just tie the rear wheel to something as well

[zepplin]

Thanks Stef. My advice more or less..............Just the ladies on the farm right now so we'll see how they do.

That's kind of stuck there use the 4x4 park a other bakkie at the back of the cruiser with a rope to keep it from moving forward when lifting it with the jack in front try to push it over to side so u can get the front wheels on ramp again if thy can.

Good luck and please no injuries ladies.

Even a highligt jack in the front (if there is a lifting point) till the tyre clears the edge then push it of the jack to the side.

Alternatively... jack up the side till the wheel lifts a bit then pack bricks or something underneath the wheel, lower then jack again and then drive off with hard lock to the right

Jack up,then push jack over to the side where the wheel needs to be,please be careful.

Alternatively... that plank lying next to the compressor.

Take that and put it in it's length under the wheel with the wheel being in the middle. Pack some bricks on the end of the plank facing the rear end of the vehicle then lift the front end of the plank with the highlight jack till the plank is at the same level as the cement and drive off with hard lock to the right

If you dont care too much about body work you can also engage the difflocks and reverse the mofo out of there...

[zepplin]

Thanks guys........they're working on hi lift & chain block plan now. Will let you know how it goes.

I think the jack will be too short to lift the cruiser high enough.

Another option will be to lock the wheels right, engage 4L and slowly move forward. Wheel should climb that edge if done slowly. Use handbrake to ensure the vehicle does not move too fast or jump.

try jack up left front wheel
pack rocks etc under it
engage 4 wheel drive
turn full lock to the right
drive off slowly

[Hoppy]

Put it in 4x4, select all lockers, turn right and floor it, it's a Toyota, it will jump out!

Net n vraag as jy daai eerste foto kyk
Kan jy nie daai uit revers nie wiele effens gedraai sal daai wiel nie
uiklim nie
Vra maar net

[Hilux 1]

as jy reverse gaan jou agter wiel in neuk, siende jy dan nou juis jou voor wiel so moet draai om op te klim, stuur jy ongelukkig in so n rigting dat die agter wiel weer gaan inval.
