hell my ex gets stuck on a slight incline in the snow when not in 4wd without the limited slip axle.....funny my Ram in comparison with street tires could make it up twice the incline without 4x4.....its amazing that this thing can get stuck so easy.....im planning on adding the limited slip, but that is after tax returns if the return is good this year.

That translator is messed up!! Let me see if I can explain simply: What is the configuration of your Ex? Lift size? Tires? Modifications? Engine? Thanks for trying!

not sure what sound you were asking about, but I'll try to help
some when throttled up was the tires spinning on the ice
some when he chopped the throttle when under power is sometimes called "turbo fart" I.e. lot's of boost and chopping the throttle, the pressure goes backwards out the intake...
some was just the bad (good !) sounding 6 liter diesel !!!!
At first I thought why so much trouble going up that hill, then realized on the small video I didn't see the tow rope at first
looks COLD there ! I would let others trek thru the forest while I stayed in the ex

The 'raptor' sound is the turbo fart. I had never heard it like that before and have yet to do that to my Ex!
Thanks for the insight.

The excursion is no good off-road. As a matter of fact, you might die if you take your excursion off the pavement. It's only good for going to the grocery store and hauling toilet paper around. Plus, if you accidentally found yourself off the pavement, and lived, your paint might get dirty. And no one likes a dirty excursion. Please save yourself and never take your excursion off-road.
I once took my truck off-road and almost didn't make it. I had to defib myself with the jumper cables. I saw the light but it just wasn't my time. I'll never take my truck off-road again.
