Somewhat off topic here, but relative to a DBS truck getting stuck, I defy any road down south to compare to the roads up here in Maine.
The road I live on is completely impassable past my house, for about 6 weeks every spring. If you walk on the road, you sink up to your knees many places, and even 4 wheel drive vehicles don't attempt it usually. The problem is, that on these GPS mapping systems, the road shows up as a good road. We're always getting trucks and other vehicles stuck even during good times of year, but usually it is so obvious that the road isn't passable that people don't try it in mud season. But last year one of those
DTV installation vans tried going down the road, following the directions given him by the GPS. That darn truck was sunk in the mud up to the bumpers, so that even after they got a vehicle capable of pulling it out, they had a hard time getting chains attached. The poor DTV guy called a tow truck, but the tow truck came out, and said I'm not going down THAT road, and turned around. Then the guy called his father, who had a big 4x4 pickup with a big power winch in the bed, but not only could the winch not get the truck out, but then the pickup got stuck. The pickup finally managed to get out (after making a run for it, coming straight for where I was standing along the road, which scared me enough that I fell into a ditch full or water head first).
Anyway they couldn't get the DTV van out, and it stayed sideways in the middle of the road overnight. Finally, the next day, the found a fellow with a logging skidder, which is a BIG tractor type thing with big monster wheels that are used to drag trees out of the woods, and they can go just about anywhere, and it was able to pull the truck out. Pretty funny.
Hey guy's let me see some your rigs and your setups for installing.. As you can see by my avatar pictures installing on the RED CLAY Roads of the deep south here in the great state of MISSISSPPI can be hazardous!!!!!!!!!!!
