isa sa kasama ko, LC80 with winch. dapat sana sya hihila sa akin, but got stuck also.

kaya ito nalang ang pinapunta namin para mag rescue:

Wow! ano nangyari? Tumirik ba?

this was our second time to cross that part of the river. the first time (around 2 weeks before this), we (my gu patrol and a LC100) crossed it easily. pero sobrang lambot ng sand this time. below the knee lang actually yung taas ng tubig, but there were parts na biglang lulubog yung buong legs ko.

before calling for the truck, nanghiram muna kami ng carabao, pero hindi rin kinayang hilahin.

tapos may isa pa kaming kasama na naka hilux sr5 with mud tires. he attempted to cross the river to pull me from the other side, but also got stuck a few meters from my position.

hindi naman tumirik. i got stuck around 3:30PM. nahila ako pass 8PM na. all this time, naka idle yung engine since lubog yung exhaust ko.

ganda ng kuha sir, hope walang na water damage sa patrol nyo.

nung paalis na kami dyan sa river, may amoy sunog sa loob, inisip ko baka yung speakers na-submerge din sa tubig kaya tinaggal ko muna fuse ng headunit and tinanggal ko rin yung ground ng amplifier. hindi ko pa napapa-check kung may nag-short.

Boybi, bilib ako sa Patrol mo. Kung Fortuner siguro yan, todas na ang computer box since nasa flooring ang mounting. Sa lalim ba naman ng tubig. Kaya siguro tinaas ang height ng Fortuner to cover his computer box flaw.
