Gentlemen...
Take a step back... Dismount the moral high horse...
We're here to learn stuff, pass on hard earned knowledge. It looses it's effectiveness when buried in a slinging match.
I was enjoying this thread.
as there is so many different types of 4wd's now
same as so many different people driving them
what works for 1, may or may not work for another
I will apologize to Troutnut, as obviously he has only ever done a particular course run by some famous dude......
I did 2 with the Australian Army in 1970 (in New Guinea)& 1978 (Midland Base Workshops), in Land Rovers - so what was applicable then, is way way way out of date now
especially as we dont have Jungle in West Aust, nore do I drive a Land Rover
I have also learnt that you are NEVER to old to learn something new - with regards to 4wd's, driving situations etal

nah, the old series IIa was / is far better than the later ones........
had to be recovered twice in Patrols - both times sand was like talcum powder
probably 1/2 doz times when I used to drive Cruisers, and always in freaking MUD..............

I have learned one thing from this thread : a patrol accelerator is sponge-worthy. I will try using a sponge under the pedal next time I encounter some rough stuff.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
