Appealing to fellow P/Hers in Kent who could help me out. (I will pay you)

In an act of gross incompetancy I have managed put my Cherokee into a ditch in my garden.

It requires a 4x4 with a winch and possibly the loan of some high lift jacks and expertise.
Please see photos below... I have had a recovery company out but their winch wasn't long enough.

We're in Tunbridge Wells.

Hard to tell but looks like the chassis is resting on the ground? If so you're going nowhere. It is has a towbar it's worth trying to jack it up and get something under the back wheels. Even the factory jack might be enough.

If not, are you somewhere rural with a friendly farmer nearby? A tractor would have that out in seconds.

That’s going nowhere under its own power with that soil, tyres and level of sinkage already!

A friend of mine got his Range Rover stuck in his garden in Rotherfield. Other half suggested he should go down to drag out the horse trailer, he said its too wet. She says but you have a RR. So a few minutes later its stuck. Quickly followed by a friend Land Rover who attempted to tow it out. Friend with tractor was the answer.

I appreciate my post's not particularly helpful, but I'm local to you and I'm sure I've seen your Jeep out and about.

Anyway, I have an old Peugeot and a tow rope. Drop me a message if you want another car stuck in your garden.
