With an open diff you can ride the brake pedal once you start spinning. This will apply even torque resistance to both sides of the diff resulting in both wheels to spin instead of just one.
Error is between seat and steering wheel :) Joke aside and if you don't mind me sharing how I see this situation that shouldn't have ended like this in the first place (though I know it was really good fun), here's what I think. First, wheels are too large for your lift, from my point of view. They are very likely to grab the samurai and lose traction on that side, while sending traction to the wrong side. Front-left has too much grip, so F-R just spins and digs. Eventually, F-R digs deep enough, and the front axle flex pushes the F-L wheel into the car body, locks it up, and the diffs then start sending all the power on F-R. Bouncing weight on R-L doesn't help since it's so high up and the balance is all on R-R, so that one digs a little, but R-L takes up most of your engine power. Personally I would have tried using the steering wheel to dig around and use the front axle to push back a little, but first of all, I would have totally ignored the trail and would have gone straight through the creek, rather than the tight angle you took. Straight angle, low speed. Now even though I know it's a matter of personal preference to some point, I think the wheels might be a bit too large for that sammy. I think you have a 30-40mm shackle lift, just like I do, and the wheels are 205/95, just like the ones I took off my car. But I took them off and changed to 195s because they used to grab the car's body at high axle flex, and that didn't help me much. Unless you lift SPOA (SPringOverAxle), you're not likely to get much more out of your shackle lift; big wheels will help you, but only if you have a good lift; there are other lift methods, but a bastard leaf (adding a new leaf to the spring) will just break your back, and a full body lift is likely to turn you sunny side down. Well anyway there's also the option of getting a winch, it just makes life so much better :) Just make sure it's rated to 2-3 times the weight of the car :) EDIT: that sounds like a 1.6l lol you have a broken exhaust or something? :))
I found myself rocking in my chair trying to add weight to that dudes rhythm in the back.

fastfordman1965 Dude I thought I knew them all. Will go get myself mudded up and see what you're talking about :) Makes sense :)
Wow never thought of that lol
+Josh Sherer it's called left foot braking
That dont work all the time

el fierro del que sostine el capo del samurai donde ba suquto
Now I want to drink and offroad with those guys. That's real off roadin
Dude when you launched into the hole the second time you completely forgot there was a steering wheel lol
To the driver in the gray samurai Lincoln Locker I have been running one in the rear of my samurai for 19 years and it gets used hard
That was a lot of fun but please get a muffler for that thing lol.
J adore tes videos
Bien cordialement Laurent Bernollin
Nice Sammy! Diff lock would have saved you a lot of trouble.
Nice save
No differential lock or not working properly.
Good example of negative traction.
great team!:))
Man I want my zuk to sound like that lol
Nice sj
Que motor suena bien el cruce
What's your set up in this video. LOoks like a blast to drive
Trop fort
You see he didn't have his def locked. He probably wouldn't have gotten stuck if he had em locked
They don't come with a locker front OR rear and obviously he didn't have one
+Josh Sherer i myself have a 87 samurai and i have a friend with an 88. Both have front lockers.
+David Laxson
Someone put them in,they don't come stock.
Super
Me interesa tengo uno de estos gracias
