That's great, but then what? If you are that remote, what help can you get to where the vehicle is located?
It reminds me of a dump truck that got stuck so badly on a farm that it took two large bulldozers to pull him out, but not before tearing off bumper and tow hooks right off frame. Or of a dragline that slid into muck and was just left there because there was no way for us to get it out. Not until years later.
A family member is rebuilding a Jeep with a V8 conversion, large tires, etc. to go off roading. I just tell him to have an exit strategy, because the more capable the Jeep is, the less likely you can call for a tow truck.
Don't get me wrong, I take my share of risks, and see the appeal in it. Besides, if nothing else the Kiravan looks really cool. You'd be the talk of the campground.
