I want to get in more trail time, but being a senior(in highschool, not an old guy), and having work, whenever want to go my friends are busy. I dont want to go by myself and have no way to get out. Some of my friends said to go as far as you can i 4x2, then engage 4x4 and get out. But i do need momentum. And getting stuck in the middle of a hole makes it pretty hard to get out.
Man i wish i had a winch.

there is a reason why not to go till your stuck in 2wd..
I was stuck here in 2wd, then locked them in, and didn't budge, and had to be yanked out..
after that, a F-150 on bald 31's and a chevy on 33's went right though.. Allthough after that.. they both had to pulled out going back through it.. My truck made a it though a few times after that though
Just incase.. here's some videos
My buddies F-150, on my old 31's
chevy getting buried, running 33" buckshots
My f-150 showing how it's done..
My return run.. it's tough to clean BFG's...
