True enough...
Usually the terrain we're in there are no rocks at all

And with his truck it is more of a lob effect than coming straight at you

That would make me just mad enough to leave him stuck all day! He may have a bad truck, but eventually he will end up stuck. Happens to all of us. Making friends that way, deserves to get left there, stuck for the remainder of the day.
Might even let it get dark before I broke out a strap or the winch.

I had an 85 bronco that ate rear drivelines any tome I took it on the highway, my fix was just drop the rear driveline & only install it for off roading! I drov that front wheel drive Bronco for 61/2 years sold it to a guy who still runs it "front wheel drive" I never even missed the axel hop, think abought how many front drive japasaki's are running out there daily with little or no problems.
