    Those interested in Prinsu, there was a rumor going around that a certain TW Vendor that was at Expo West has bought out Prinsu. But again that's just rumors and I haven't seen anything posted anywhere

    @aero3685 Check out the DJI Spark. Same people that make the Mavic. It has an "ActiveTrack" mode that looks like it will do follow. Drone is tiny, and run $499 for the base package.

    Yeah I compared it to the mavic and the video quality is lower (especially low light) and although it's a smaller body, the arms don't fold in, so for storage it takes up quite a bit of room. And it's actually $699 since the controller is needed for most functions. It's listed as an (optional accessory) that is required haha.

    And it's not available until the 15th of this month, so that could quickly become an issue with any delay and end up with me waiting around for it to be able to leave. Definitely a neat one, surprised it doesn't fold up like the mavic although that would probably put it in the same price range.

    So my 4wd dilemma has been resolved for now. This morning I flipped the switch to 4hi before I started the truck. Rolled out of the garage and it clicked into 4wd. It is now functioning normal. I guess it's true that you should cycle 4wd at least once a month to keep things freed up. I'm still questioning the front actuator since there's tons of similar cases on the web which seem to be faulting the connections inside the actuator.

    Even more common is the physical sticking of the actuator rod galling and sticking in the housings. Though, because yours happened without a mode switch that points to electrical issues. You could try and take it apart and clean the points of contact.

    Trails are simply that, predefined paths for vehicles or people to follow. No number of excuses given make it OK to go off trail. The trails this time of year can easily be damaged and closed by one vehicle going off trail.

    Most Colorado trails do not have "mud pits" for "mudding," where someone drives their truck into the mud up to the doors, while they use as much throttle as possible. In Colorado this is how trails are destroyed and closed. Cross through mud with as little wheel spin as possible, or turn around. Do not drive off trail to go "mudding."

    Yep.
