      Lol they tried that with Lady. I thought it would be an awesome idea until I see what came from it. The first thing she did was rake the camera on the bumper to knock it off. They tried again and got something....it'd be too generous to call it footage though. They shared about 10 seconds of it, I think mostly to show how completely unusable it was. With all the jostling and bouncing around you couldn't really see anything at all.

      What folks dont realize is a handful of these incidents are why areas get closed down. Then nobody, even the responsible folks, can enjoy these public lands. The individual may think, "It's just me, it doesn't matter" but what they don't realize is there are a dozen or dozens of other people that do the same thing. It's not the person, it's the group.

    For the newer 4Runners, you need to shut off TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC) and VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) otherwise the truck fights you in the snow. You can switch the Multi-terrain Selector to mud and sand mode. This is the least invasive and allows the most slippage of the system but the computer still takes control.

    If the twitching from the 4runner is coming from the tires, it's most likely the traction control, specifically VSC and ATRAC. There's a button to turn it off. All +03 4runners and +05 Tacoma will have the button. You should experiment with it in Tucker's 4runner so you know how to use it in your next recovery.

Then assemble and deliver about 500 of them per day with the average workers and deliver top quality. Many things may not make sense in a particular application.

I'd turn the wheel and it'd keep driving straight for the cliff, so I learned to lock the hubs in early. Thirty years and two vehicles later I still have that in my head, partially because the glove box of the FJ40 yelled at me to drive the thing with the hubs locked up for a few kilometers every month to make sure the oil got splashed around properly to lubricate things.

    Quick tip for newer Toyotas that seem “twitchy” Matt!! My girlfriend has a 5th gen 4Runner and I get to wheel it sometimes and doing so have noticed that it is also twitchy! The quick fix is turning off traction control ( typically right above your head near the dome lights in a 4Runner at least) and that turns off that computer that takes away power when it feels loss of traction!! Good luck and hope you see this!

      ​@ethansgarage7627 Winches are used for a slow and steady pull from the winch motor, so tugging on it like that could snap the line or break something, usually you want a rope or tow strap to tug on a vehicle, but they went slow so it's not too bad.

    Tom is right. The use of Roger or Romeo, phonetic code for the letter R, goes back even further to morse code where R meant “I have received your message completely and no repeats are required”. Good research Tom. The international standard phonetic for R is now Romeo, but lots of comms people still say Roger as that’s what they originally learned. The purpose of phonetics is to be unambiguous so none of the phonetics sound similar to any other.

    Watching these are very entertaining...and serve as a reminder of why I switched from using a 4x4 to a dirt bike on the trails each weekend when I was younger. One bad outing with a 4x4 was more expensive than buying a dirt bike. The bike also allowed me and my buddies to go everywhere, quickly. We would cover lots of ground and the bike had plenty of fuel for an entire day's ride. It was always very satisfying to come up on a gaggle of jeeps stuck at some mud hole and all we did was zip around it. Also, no matter how bad a bike got stuck, two guys could always pull it out. There were very few places where a 4x4 had an advantage over a bike. Dirt bike maintenance was cheap, and even serious repairs were peanuts compared to a broken 4x4.

    Just FYI, the “smart” terrain technology in most of the new vehicles is great for normal use. In most recovery situations, mud mode is probably the best setting since it allows all the wheels to spin if there’s little traction. Snow mode is great for normal snow driving, but will actually hinder you in a deep snow recovery situation because it will still hunt for traction.

    The 4Runner was twitchy because he had A-TRAC turned on. It uses the ABS to act as a psuedo-locker, applying the brakes to the wheel that spins to send power to the other side of the axle. It works pretty well for what it is, but it's real twitchy and lurchy when it's on because the ABS is constantly making adjustments.
