HAHAHA. Seriously..no clue..suprised there were no serious injuries, other than the truck that is Obviously it wasnt quite clear to them that it was not going to pull up that bank after they'd ripped the axle off!

Probably one of the worst decisions was where the guy in the white ute put his exhaust haha.

LOVE IT, at around 5.50 the quote is "Yeah, keep doin that, a few more and you'll get it out". Is the camera man fkn mute, cant he say "from this angle that right front tyre is gougin a big fnk hole, an knockin the top of that bank wont fix it". Seems youtube isnt just for vids of fat people falling over

Right at the end there someone says, "I don't wanna wreck their truck up". Umm hello?? It's already pretty wrecked. @ 2.05 once the front axle gets ripped off I love hearing the yanks saying, "DAMN dude, holy fcuk!!".

Should have attached strop to rear bumper, flipped it on its lid & dragged it out - easier than chassis repairs lol What a nightmare

Well its definately ripped, shit, and busted now Yup certainly some manner of digging to make it easier to unstick. If possible a winch thru a snatch block on a tree or something closer to infront of the truck to pull forwards rather than sideways. I think I probably wouldve gone with 2 or 3 trucks linked to get more traction and a less aggressive pull, rather than 1 truck yankin' the hell out of it (no pun intended )
