So here I am, in the middle of snow storm, on my way back from the video store to return some movies...and i deciede to venture into a field to play a little in the snow...as i'm about to go over the curb, i get stuck?!!?! I'm like what the hell, i my fenders are at 36" even, that's pretty high, so after 1.5hrs, a useless tow truck drive and some help from some pretty cools guys, would found out that the little iron stake type thing (1/2" wide)that hold curbs down, had gotten stock/caught on the right rear stock mount...couldn't freakin belive it...what are the odds on a 6ft curb... I ended up digging my self into a ft deep mud hole, which, after simply jacking up the rear, the truck drive right out of....

Needless to say, i'm inpressed with the capabilities of my X, love 4lo, think bigger tires might of helped and REALLY want a locker, and will probally inspect curbs a lot closer before i decide to venture over them....

If you got stuck on something like a stake I think you were just screwed regardless of equipment.
 






but after jacking up one side, he was able to drive out... if he had a locker... he may have been able to just drive off it in the first place....
 






oh i know i would of been stuck regardless, but what are the chances of actully catching the stake? Anyways, it was fun getting unstuck, my GF may never let me drive off the paved path with her again, but it was fun
 






Explorers are so tough
