It gets even simpler than that. Use some common sense and drive forward onto the grass, this way you eliminate the possibility of a rear wheel slip and trashing your friend's grass.
Or recognize the fact that your light rear end would have a tough time pulling that heavy front end over a curb when your grabbing grass instead of pavement and putting it in 4WD in advance. Of course there is something wrong here, but there are better ways to get this done. Or maybe I'm just crabby from lack of sleep...
I agree with the majority here, it sounds like one or both hubs weren't engaging. Did you try manually locking them?

i hate to say, but, if you purchase the most accurate rifle in the world, and cannot hit the target, it is not the rifle fault. you really need to know how your equipment works and as said above, common sense goes a long way.

Ever since the ESOF left me my dad and brother and sister in the middle of white mountain lakes to be pulled out by a cummins 2 wd flatbed (did lift the dodge 3 to 4 inches of the ground in the front end till my dad slammed it). Well anyways that was without the hubs locked in esof then I locked it but that was to late. I lock the hubs before I leave our lot then when we hit the cattle gaurd I unlock it. I did get it fixed but I still don't trust it. On our last 02 we had esof and I never used it.
