Not sure if this has been here before.
They were sure lucky...Not only to save the truck...But not have it roll on them !

Would have been horrible to gradually watch it slip deeper and deeper into the tide.

Would be been keen to see him recover it from the end? Or did he just drive it out??
I went up Muriwai a few weeks ago and the tide was coming in... i was pretty lucky not to get stuck. i had a couple of waves come over the bonnet... woops!
Learnt my lesson

That guy was lucky the rope didn;t give way the first time she slipped. Glad for them they got out, I know that feeling of nearly losing a 4wd to the tide, and wouldn't wish it on any 4wder!
