Default flexxed my dako

i did the first mock, couldn't move forward, so i backed up and gased it to the second pose. Then i couldn't back up, so i gassed it back to the pavement. Stupid Glare....(taken with my phone, forgot my camera..the whole reason for the trip!)

FUN

I wanted to try and move furter right. After seeing the left rear..i decided that would be a bad idea.

Like i said, it's a one legger. The one over the ditch was leggin, and one on pavement was one'in. LSD probably wouldn't have had a problem.

...at least not 2wd's, cause if you do a real flex there should be no weight over one of the back tires, so if you don't have a LSD or locker, you will get stuck.

That second one is not half bad for a 2wd!

True

And it didn't help not having any straps either, if i did get stuck. At least then i could lock up the weightless wheel...

I reached the asymtope of not getting stuck...

my friend and I did that with his ranger. What makes the story good, it was in a creek in the packed parking lot during homecoming. Mud when everywhere....
