[QUOTE="AJ-Raptor, post: 1197625, member: 24965"] You are right about keeping momentum. It was not pure sand but a bulldozed earth to make a barricade so it's not soft and I didn't want to hit it hard as well as the other side was pretty short and steep and I didn't want to carry a speed I can't control on decent as this will cause me to face plant the truck. It was a barricade beside a road so no I didn't air down the tires. I was really just goofing around. Nevertheless, a front locker is very useful in many situation whether it was my mistake this time around or not.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] I'm used to driving on sand and I know that you air down tires and keep momentum. This was a little excursion off the highway so I didn't do it properly. The truck would have cleared it if I had gone more diagonally and with more momentum. I also think that it would've cleared it if it had front lockers with the same speed and angle I took. Front lockers just give you more options. Otherwise, even a RWD car can do pretty good on loose sand but will require a lot more driving and you'd be risking it. [/QUOTE]
