Crazy ˟˟˟˟˟ last weekend!

I went exploring on Sunday for some new trails by myself with my 2 dogs. I found a trail and took it, the grass became very tall and I could only barely see the trail underneath it. Suddenly the right side of my truck dropped and brought the truck almost onto its side. The dogs, me and my coffee went flying towards the listing side. I undid my seatbelt, forced my door open (which was way up in the air and climbed out. As soon as I jumped out of the truck it listed even further on its side (crazy, just like the movies). The drivers side rear tire was abour 4 feet in the air, I walked around and found that she had nose dived into a 4 foot hole, completely hidden by tall grass. So here I was, in the middle of nowhere, with my dogs, and about 20 miles form my nearest friend with a 4wd truck.
So anyways, I got the dogs out and tied them around a tree, jumped in, threw her in 4 wheel low, and after the second try, she pulled herself right out that hole! I was so happy. After a short inspection and retreiving the dogs, I got back onto the highway and was relieved to find that nothing was knocked out of place, it didnt even phase her!

Long live Toyota!

But, another great reason why you shouldn't wheel alone, especially checking out new trails.
