Trucks, Tractor, Mahindra Bolero Get Stuck Trying To Pull Out Maruti Jimny: 5 Vehicles Stuck! [Video]
Off-roading is a sport that needs capable machines and proper skill levels. Not having the right set of skills would land you in trouble. A recent incident from Maharashtra is proof of this. It shows a Maruti Suzuki Jimny getting stuck in mud, and the vehicles called for rescue- from trucks to tractor- meeting with the same fate! A video of the incident was shared on Instagram.
Jimny Gets Stuck In Mud: Rescue Vehicles Fail
The video starts by showing a Maruti Jimny 4x4 stuck in what looks like a dam. A truck soon came to the rescue. But unfortunately, it's rear wheels got stuck in the mud as well.
To pull it out, another truck was summoned. However, its front wheels got stuck. A Bolero Camper also came to rescue the Jimny. It tried to tow the Maruti SUV out. But its rear wheels sank in mud as well.
Finally, a tractor was brought to rescue the vehicles. Surprisingly, even the tractor got stuck! Its left tyre dug deep into the mud. A man can be seen trying to stand on the right side of the tractor to add weight and get it out of the slush. At the end of the video, we are left with five vehicles stuck in mud, with no successful rescue.
Interestingly, a Maruti Alto can also be seen a little away from the stuck vehicles. It isn't stuck. This probably explains why people fondly call it 'Lord Alto'! Just kidding...
Lack of skills seem to have been the issue here. Ignorance of the Jimny driver regarding the terrain and its challenges could have landed him in trouble. Having 4x4 hardware and a low-range gearbox alone will not make you capable of tackling challenging terrains.
Having a proper knowledge of the terrain and ensuring optimal tyre pressure are also of key significance. The tyres need to be deflated before getting into slush.
A lower tyre pressure will maximize the contact patch of the rubber, and the same will ensure optimum traction. This will allow the vehicle to climb back from slush.
