The "boobs" are airbags used to refloat it to the surface by the recovery team (which took two days and about $15K). The guy driving got out OK, but it was a scary few seconds.

Not mine... but I helped with recovery... 6 hours + and no luck with two 8500 lb winches... finally brought in a bobcat and leveled the bank surrounding. just a bad place to roll over.

I rolled it back on its wheels with my ramsey the same night of the incident... this was the next day.

when you BOLDLY go where no man has gone before... $h!t happens...

i can see trying to tackle something, if you get out and take a look first, and maybe give it a shot...

but taking a bone stock 4x of any kind and thinking its a tank... well, people usually find out real quik that their NOT.

nothing against getting a little crazy... and YES, some times things LOOK like solid ground... but, you never know.

Wheel on brothers and sisters... just wear your seat belts and keep your body parts inside the caged area.
