The soil in that area is quite sandy the bog hole at the start of the event was just a muddy rut. We were the last but one of 40 trucks to do that stage and by then the hole was as you can see arm pit deep:shaking:

How water/weather proof are they?
Where can I get one? Whats the brand, name etc?

Edit - I see the ARB sticker, but is it an ARB product?

Thanks!

Yep they are ARB (space case) products and I belive they are water/weather and bulldust proof think they come in blue too Designed to bolt on to trays. I live 5 miles from their factory:D

Very solid and well made too, Top gear. no idea of a stockest in USA but happy to pick one or two up and ship them for you direct from Factory if needed.

Sweet Pics....been awhile since my Cruiser was sunk up like that. I work with a guy from New Zealand and he tells me that they have kick ass mud like that over there. What would the freight be to haul a 4x overseas to wheel the haul it back home? Probably more than the vehicle's even worth.

the fear of landing upside down in the mud, or being cought inside, keeps me from doing stunts like that.
