I sometimes get to wheel the ex for work but with a trailer behind it. Here's when I lost traction and slid back down the mountain while trying my hardest to keep from jack knifing the trailer. 
almost lost the truck and trailer that day.

[quote=Tylus;13845628]what's with the moron (orange jacket) standing right in front of a 8k vehicle on wet rocks while you attempt to turn?

Tylus,
Not a Moron, just the spotter. Those trails in VT are very tight. Most date back to the 1700's and earlier. They lace the entire state and are considered class 4 public roads. That spot doesn't look too bad on video but we were within inches of contact, both underneath and all four corners. He runs the rally so was spotting that section. No one thought the Ex would fit without carnage. That's why the crowd was there.
