    Yeah, sounds like he has a Detriot TrueTrac, which is an auto LSD, which acts just like Posi-Trac, so you were on the right... track. :p

    And the solution is? I don't have a whole lot of experience around truetrac, so I'd like to know. The only thing I'm thinking is jacking up a tire and sticking something under, but the quickest and safest plan is a simple slow pull with a snatch strap, and if you don't have that, a winch - so I say you guys did the right thing.

    It ain't stupid if everyone's safe, you did things safe, and nothing's busted! ;)

    4b is right at the top of #10. You cross the road and get onto a dirt road which leads to Happy Meal (4b)

    Any plans for the rear bumper? Planning on getting sliders? I'm liking the black on white trim, especially with the rugged trail fenders

    He had enough momentum to jockey himself around to a more downhill angle...I think with a few short rolls we could have done it. Wouldn't take much once he was angled downhill. As for the true track.... it wouldn't lock up...period. idk

    I think if he tried harder he could have just rocked out of that spot, or he could have stacked rocks, but i don't get many chances to use my winch, and i stopped being lazy so here is the last vid
