retarded!
A friend bet that I would get stuck if I drover my stock Diso II in to the retention pond :/ Well, it was like driving on butter.
At the time I was half tempted to post here for help, but ended up getting a tow truck to wench me out at the a waping $340.
I was just seeing if posting here would have helped when I was stuck. So far it does not look like it would have helped :/
In any case WTF do I have to do to my rover to be able o drive in mud?

Protect the axles, lift the truck and put better (mod maybe?) tires on it.
Make damned sure you have recovery equipment to get you out quickly when you do get stuck.
Mud tires and lighten it up by about 2k pounds would be a good start. 6000+ lb. vehicles do not do so well in the mud. Oh, lockers would help as well.:rofl:
You WILL get stuck in mud.
Even after you spend mad $$$ on it, lockers, swampers, lift, etc. You will get stuck again. All that just makes you think you can go through anything and then you will get stuck, in a huge hole, that will take 5 trucks and a back hoe to help get you out, and will fuck up your truck royaly.
Recovery gear and another truck to pull you out.
Best bet.

seriously you need a Freelander to get through the mud.
ps: your spelling sucks.

and you got stuck? when you start to fill like you are getting stuck or just spinning your wheels, turn the steering wheel side to side while giving gas. a lot of gas doesnt always mean youll get out, you may dig yourself deeper, hence moving the wheel from side to side.
if this was a mud hole, like an old lake bed, you dont have a chance, but your description sounds like you spun your wheels and buried yourself when you shouldnt have.
Nah,
I am 25 and driving my own DII
Did not know that 4 inches of mud would stop me so badlly
