I had a look at your truck today and you shouldn't need a tow
The track is quite easy at the moment

It was a good trip a small Group so we made it was more of a training run and showing and explaining the reason's for picking lines and wheel placement unfortunatley one Safari gave trouble on the day so we decided to leave it part way up instead of risk damage to the track.
One section we used the shovel on to clear the diff centre's for a couple of vehicles. Oh and the safari is all good now a minor issue and easy fix, could have been done there if we had the one tool no-one had.
