That's not too bad, my friend and I were ****in around in his Chevy Aveo rental and we blew the transmission. I felt so scummy returning it, but we didn't beat on it too hard for it to break so easily.

if it breaks that easy its junk (as long as you buy the insurance).

I used to do that every weekend in my 94 Pathfinder... it was solid believe it or not, I had the thing airborne many times in dunes!

I spent a month wandering arround in Arizona on vacation about 20 years ago and found a brochure in a ranger station on desert survival. My favorite quote from it was;
"all 4 wheel drive means is that you can get stuck in worse places"

And it had a cartoon drawing of a tow truck wired to another tow truck that was wiring a jeep up out of a gulley.

$hit....that looks like my work truck, only 15 years newer. Get a degree in Forestry and you can do that almost every day. When you get that far in you unload the quad (ATV), call someone to pull you out at the end of the day, and get back to work.

Only problem is, it gets old ;)

Looks like you had fun,

ahhhh momentum once you stop your ****ed, that's why i didn't get a 4wd theres no way id be able to leave it alone and just drive the damn thing, it'd start with front and rear winches and end with it being some weird articulating swiss army truck. last time i went wheeling it was in a 4cyl tj that the douche bag took all of the tow hooks off of the front to mount the wimpyest brush guard you ever saw, wound wrapping the strap around the frame to get it outta the ditch
