  • We had alot of fun and managed to sample a variety of surfaces and terrain but not being offroad pros we made some mistakes and got stuck quite a few times. We took turns driving and on my turn I went through some gravel near a construction site and next thing I know I'm stuck! Talk about surprised. Luckily we had shovels along and had the help of some other off roaders!
  • I have 4 wheel drive which has gotten me out of every possible mess I could get into. However 2 wheel, is not the same. You would handle it as if you would a rear wheel drive car..
  • dont go off roading unless u have the proper equipment a 4x4
  • 1- If you just get to a point where your tires are spinning in bottomless snow, stop and dig the tires and underside of the truck out. Put some sticks or something down and drive on them. That should get you back on top of the snow. 2- If you're just on a flat surface or a slight hill, put some sand or cat litter down. Sand seems to work better. Also, you can just keep a couple or more 25 lb bags of sand in the bed of the truck to aid in getting traction more, and to use when on ice or something. 3- Basically the same as snow, dig out and put something down that you can drive on top of to get out of it. Put down sticks, rocks, boards, whatever you have. Sand or cat litter won't help here. 4- Basically the same as snow or clay, but you'll have to keep momentum going through the mud or else you'll just keep getting stuck if there's no bottom to the mud. 5- Same as mud and snow. Try to keep momentum as it helps carry the truck through the hole, or across the sand. Getting going from a stop is the hardest thing to do, so try not to stop. Also, if you don't stop, then you're not stuck are you? 6- In gravel, if it's somewhat solid, just dig out and try to keep traction on the rear wheels. You should be able to just drive out, unless you're on a steep hill or something like that, where you might just spin the tires until you get stuck again. Some very important things for offroading is to carry momentum though everything that you can. Momentum makes it so that your truck will move through the mud/snow/whatever on it's own and that you only have to provide some power to keep going, not to start and keep moving. Also, keeping traction is extremely important. This is even more important in a 2WD vehicle. If you start spinning, you will more than likely get stuck. Putting weight over the rear axle helps, and putting a posi or locker will help keep both wheels getting power, instead of just the one that's spinning. As long as you keep traction, you will not get stuck. Better tires can also be used to get more traction.
