Finally had a real reason to use 4-Lo

Damn nuns are so stingy with parking space in their hospital parking garage. Look at the length of that yellow line! Who TF is suppose to park there? A Mini Cooper? I'm not even a LB, but my Taco stuck out precipitously when parked against the parking stop. So I 4Lo-ed it OVER the stop. Knew I'd need a 4-wheel drive one day...it's a jungle out there!



And before you flame me, that's a red handicapped parking placard hanging from the rearview mirror.

 

You should winch that white truck out, then repark halfway into the handi spot on that side.

 

You could’ve squeezed a few inches forward before kissing whatever is in front of you with your bumper.

 

Pic should have been with it flexed on the parking stop.

And not sure why it took any 4wd to get up and over. Just easier?

 

Was also wondering why any 4wd was needed, lol.

 

I use 4lo over parking blocks as well, just so revs are lower and its less noticeable lol.

 

I can see how it will be easier on a manual, but on an auto?

 

Adapt and overcome

 

nuns never give it up.

 

The real crime is putting the park stop 5 feet from the fence wall. There'd be so much more room for activities.

 

Lol I have that same problem on my college campus. My hitch is like 1 inch from the concrete wall

 

Might have fit better if you backed into the spot ???

 

lmao we aren't that smart

 

Yeah man, show them nuns who's the boss when it comes to parking!

 

Some things are just not meant to be shared on the internet.

 

Based on the sign it looks like elevators are behind the stairs in the background. Given the handicap parking placement I'm wondering if the intention was to leave a wheelchair accessible path to the elevators between the parking space(s) and the fence.

 

Actually, this is the end handicapped spot. The last spot in a corner of the parking garage. Each handicapped space has a similar diagonal yellow line "stand-off" space to give wheelchair access for each space. If you didn't park over the curb I'd have partially blocked the SUV in the last space that was on the end of the adjacent row, perpendicular and 90-degrees to me. Why 4-Lo? Because high humidity and warming temperatures this day made the concrete decking sweat, so no traction. I needed the slow application of torque that I could manage better with 4-Lo. I didn't want 4-Hi to catch traction after spinning and then vault me into the wall. Perfect place to use clutch-start override in a MT: pull the coil wires so it won't start and use the starter's torque multiplied by 4-LO to crawl it over.

Maybe, but what's the fun in that?

 

nice seat covers

 

Did you air down, too?

 

LMAO!! Now THAT is funny!

Thanks for noticing. Yeah, Clazzio's. I stretched them with seats out of the truck when installing, then restretched them the next August when they were very pliable. Makes all the difference being out of the truck and in the heat. They were very compliant the second time, much more so than the first. Not a pucker or wrinkle anywhere. DAMN GOOD product! People think they are factory.
