That, like most steep slopes/hills, should be approached straight on so both front tires drop off at the exact same time.

Thanks! That was my approach on the way up and it was all the difference. Last year I drove it like a Jeep and was not successful!VinceAtReal4x4s wrote:That, like most steep slopes/hills, should be approached straight on so both front tires drop off at the exact same time.
Other than the initial gas going over the top, I didn't touch the pedal. That was all idle speed. The sudden drop into the hole seemed to swing it around.TechMOGogy wrote:Wow - that looked scary - it really hopped.
I am no expert (and I want to see what some of the experts say so I know/learn) but I would say: should have been going much slower. I also think you had your thumbs (saw left I think) through steering wheel as you were coming down - with the wheels going all over that is a easy way to break them :?:
I wish I could slow video down!
I can see how with a bit deeper hole and nothing for rear to grab it could swing right around
