We're happy to say that Muddy Boots has been fixed up and has since taken us on two mega journeys through Europe :-) Nothing like a landy!!
@LittlepepeMYJAVA The song is "Bad water rising" by our dear friend Carl Reuter "Big ol' Bluesman" who unfortunately passed away a few months ago ... RIP
Looks like u guys had a fun time, and the Landy was revived. Great stuff
Great Video, Great music !
Not sure if this was already mentioned in comments, but holy smokes there sure were a lot of people sitting/standing within the danger zone! If any of those winch cables would've snapped, people could've gotten badly injured. Other than that, I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
Great recovery! Landies never die!
"Muddy Boots" is still running around in the South of France as our daily driver. They're awesome cars!!

Awesome video. Good works, guys.
Great team work and fantastic attitude. Lot of people I know could learn a lot from this vid.
I am with you on this one, i worked at garage that specializes in landrover. They built a competition landrover that competes against Toyota's and highly specialized vehicles. They win 9 out of 10 times, it has won an event with a broken gearbox casing, no gearbox oil. they just coverd the gearbox up with a garbage bag so that no sand can get in during the dune climbs.
Crazy coconut.
Awesome vid.
Thanks for sharing Aqua man.
I returned from a visit to my mother last year to find my Series III up to its windscreen in water in an underground car park. I removed my shoes and trousers, waded in, started it up and drove home with no problem, other than a soggy arse and a nasty smell. It'd been there for two weeks. Bear in mind, it's a hydrophobic V8 petrol too, not even a diesel. They're solid beasts these Land Rovers.
Friggin awesome recovery and what an amazing calm temperament under these circumstances
frankly i do not have enough experience to comment on this but all i can say is ... THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Thumbs up to the nice people who helped! Such an Epic fail it's actually a win. Landies for Life.
fantastic
That's a true 4x4 driver right there
You guessed correctly. I've heard them called "limb risers". I've never really seen them in action, but I see them on Land Rovers in videos a lot.
Marvelous! Fabulous! He's my hero forever! The most beautiful motor show I ever seen! I'm sure the entire world hafta be jaw-hanging in disbelief, with all this magic mesmerizing people! I'm getting mad about going early morning to buy some 4X4 and begin to learn some of all that incredible tech. OMG! Wow! Lmfao! What have I lost all my life?
Hi Tim, the goal was to get a stamp/marker in a tree on the right side. What we didn't know is that the landowner had graded a v-gully and a top winch should have been used ;-) Invaluable lessons indeed! Feel free to read the full story (see in video description) ...
no probs, australia (where im from) has them, a few fourbys run em, mostly comp trucks tho, uk i think has them too, seem to recall seeing them advertised in some british landrover magazines i have
The best 4 by 4 far. Just fame, just words without any diff lock.
great vid more plz
Someone forgot there scooter gear at home lol. Got to love the Defender and it's built purpose. So sad they stopped production of such a wonderful vehicle.
I meant to say SCOOBER GEAR **
Nice landy ,deep water good stuff
Gr8 car. Gr8 vid. Gr8 team.
Bang on !
As they say in Poland;Here we were,here we are and here we stay!
only with the difference that a defender got a permanent four wheel drive system, no leaf springs at the back, much better angles all around and is so much better offroad. Yes apart from such tiny details you are completely right!
Haha great recovery there, defenders are ace
good music !
Nice
What was the temperature that day?
I like how one guy suggests taking out the spark plugs, to get the TDi running :)
Good effort!
Freethought Police We got it out - would have been easier if the rear winch wasn't hydraulic? We changed that to an electric one when we got back
All those people standing so close to those cables which are super dangerous when snapped under load. I can't believe those people are just standing within range of that, absolute madness
Polish guys are always helpful! At least the ones i know. They do know a lot of stuff.
Nice Landie. Don't understand why the drive chose to drive up the bank and tip his truck over. No 1 rule of off roading is to drive to your experience level. Landrovers rock
to right massive respect for your comment regards kev
where is this ??
luv the muddy water in the passenger side HL......
did the motor die?
I do think the matching shirts are cute however!
how many pollocks does it take to pull a 4X4 out of the mud?
How much water to clean vehicles =]
Land Rover FTW! :D Diesel deals with water better though. Nice driving.
What's the music ?
wahts the song?
Ok yeah they sure look like geniuses with a sunk 4x4. EINSTEIN!!!
good recovery.
name of the artist & song please?
That's one of my dream vehicles.
I do agree Johnny having done a lot of it myself.
epic!!
Boa maquina
o jak miło w Polsce :) Pozdrawiam autora ;)
bravo
this was quite good apart from the damn still images ruining it and MISSING the actual "capsize" in the title!!!
por obrońca 90 robi to, co robił, odkąd zostały one wykonane, ładne i na mokro, jak powinno być? Wewnątrz i na zewnątrz!
land rover are the best 4x4 cars
6:14 Best part... Look at the light.
if your snorkel is on the left tip it to the right :-)
and closing windowswould help
nice overrollcage though
If that winch wire snaps it will take a few heads with it.MAD
Good comment. However, Muddy Boots is part of the family :-)
Awesome.. how can ppl diss the Defender for what it got through before the deeper bomb hole and the role was more the drivers fault than the vehicle, nothing compares to a Land Rover and the fact the engine was running an hour later proves this.. Best 4x4 By Far!
Ese Defender es poderoso
that was my first thought as well.
In reply to your post..I doubt anyone there new what they were doing..Those guys with the 4x4 looked like they had no idea! For starters it rolled because he didn't even correct the steering..he was turning in the wrong direction..it was inevitable that he was gonna roll..watch it again.cheers!
I love defender 90's :) mine is my prize possession
Try this one out. "Defender 90 on a mission" it's up by James webley
What is the name of the song? is very cool!!
It appears at the end of the video.
is that for me? you want to compare mercedes G with defender?
With 3,5 millions view did you buy another?
Need more tha that! Hahaha... But the vehicle has found a new owner (through legislative issues), so we soldier on in our 110
what about mercedes G?
So, did ya have a good time?
super tare echipa 🚙🚙🚙🚙
@MarvicWebDesign ahaha yea, that can be a tricky choice .. you either need an able assistant or a locked off tripod :)
what did you do dude...
Лебёдка самая электрическая что может быть. Судя по всему варн-вертикалка. Работала она от хороших, скорее всего AGM аккумуляторов.
Anyone else finds it ironic that Aquaman got stuck in there? lol
Rspetacular
I wonder if those "Polish spectators" realise in what danger they were in, standing on the side of the pool opposite the snatch strap while it was under such tension?
Next time you may wanna close the window as i think the water rushing in would have aided it to tip.
A bit of swamping action thee thick Dutch bell
Land rovers are great off road actually...
take out the sparks ??? diesel ???
It was in Poland and the driver was Dutch, where do you hear Russian acc???
I saw Niall!
Exactly why H1 chose wide body frame
czy jakby łańcuchy śnieżne dać to by coś pomogło w błocie ?
Here in the U.S. women drive vehicles like that. We call them SUV's (Sport Utility Vehicles) Mothers take their little kids to soccer practice in them.
Leo Hortillosa They drive offroaders?
Why are they killing off such an iconic 4x4? The world needs a proper Defender, Not another new fangled Chelsea cruiser. 1948-2015 RIP old school LR
Yeah, we agree! So do a load of other people ... JLR have had to increase production of the Defender by 120 extra a week to keep up with demand. Surely, that would be a good enough reason to keep this model??
Tours and Tales.com adrian skipper there killing the defender because of new european fuel emission laws. It such a shame.
Quite right - but If the Def uses a Transit engine then the Transit should be killed off for the same reason? (along with every other van...?)
vcs deveriam conhecer o jeep troller brasileiro!!!!!ai vc ia ver oq é boiar ok
sto lat
lowering your tire pressues to15psi i think will help alot...
what? for a very specific falling over in water reason?
that was fucking deep
dopes!
and that's why I love my deuce and a half its much more forgiving until you actually get stuck stuck then your boned only thing that can help you then is another M35a2 recovery truck or a tractor with a nice chain
"Motor kapput!" :D
whoops. good old landys can't beat them in the rough stuff
єто клас
حلو الشهر مش عارفه وش سياره علاج لوفر ماكينه تنظيف هاي
There's an idea.....Land Rover to make submarines!!
