Saturday I decided to do a bit of bird hunting out at camp and happened to bring the saw along and found a few blow overs... so i cleaned them up :D tossed them in the back and the tonneau cover on the roof along with the saw gas and oil. Now Sunday kinda had the same plan brought the gun along and the saw and cleaned up by my deer blind and with a half load of wood on the truck on my way out of the woods i barley had 3 tires on the ground the drivers front was a good 3" up and the passenger rear was barley touching and in 4 low really surprised me it was not work at all

Isn't it great, in 4 wheel low they feel like a tank.
 






how does the 4 wheel work on this.. it it limited slip or does it use the brakes? because once one tire slipped the other grabbed... lol my experience has always been with open diffs so the whole hooking up thing with little traction is pretty sweet
 






Not sure if I have a limited slip or not. The traction control is what is giving us the traction, I think it works with light brake use.
 






Great idea putting the toneau on the top of the truck, I usually placed it in the bed along side the load.
 






i noticed that once the tire spun it stopped shortly after and the other grabbed i was pleased

lol it was one of those necessity is the mother of all invention kinda deals... when i seen all wood I had to put it some place and it worked out pretty well.. caught some hell form the neighbors and such cause its pretty goofy looking lol but functional

'07+ Tracs have traction control and no limited-slip. Traction control is disabled automatically in low range.
I'd still rather have limited-slip and drive it myself.

i noticed that the TC was shut off when in 4low so i still wonder while the drivers front was off the ground and the passenger rear was slipping it started to spin then stopped then then front passenger and drivers rear hooked up...
