    Matt, not sure if you will see this but this is my old TJ that I built up a few years ago. To provide some context why this axle seized up, I threw in a lunchbox locker and some other suspension upgrades to make it more trail worthy, this lunchbox locker had always given me trouble. My guess is that one of the pins broke inside of it and caused issues with the locker. I noticed the axle freed up while going down the hill, from my experience in this TJ, the spartan locker would not disengage unless the you pulled the transmission into reverse (I believe this is due to the transfer case getting stuck in 4WD). Anyways, its good to see the ole' TJ getting some use.

    I can't imagine how awful that must have felt, stuck alone on the side of the steepest hill your vehicle can climb. Every time you shift your weight in your seat, you can feel the entire vehicle slip a little bit more. Leg muscles are burning from holding the brake, and the knowledge that letting up the pressure on the brake pedal, even a little, is a death sentence.
    I bet Stephen King could make that into an entire nail-biting novel. Especially if her cell phone was dead or out of service.

    Here is a suggestion that worked for me when I was in a similar situation...
    I was backing down a sand hill that I couldn't make it up. I lost my ability to steer in the soft sand, and the truck was getting more and more sideways and was about to roll. So I took it out of 4x4, put it in 1st gear (not reverse so it wouldn't roll backwards) and intentionally spun the back tires. As soon as the tires began to spin, gravity pulled the back of the vehicle straight because of the loss of traction in the rear. There was only 2 of us, and we wouldn't have been able to move the back of the truck by hand.

    Matt is a excellent team leader. His primary concern for everyone at that scene was the safety of his team and the customer. You could see the weight of that on his face when he was evaluating the task at hand... While towing is his profession I don't think it would break his heart if that particular trail wasn't there. This crew works well together, and he is lucky to have them...and they are lucky to have him. In my profession I was around and worked with tow companies on a fairly regular basis, and frequently in precarious situations. You can tell the pros from "the not so pro", believe me.
    I love it when Matt asks for input from Rudy. He is weighing Rudy's plan against his own, evaluating it (and him) and watching Rudy grow as a leader. That is how a leader develops the talent that will follow him someday. They work together to find the best plan, and Matt implements it, knowing Rudy is growing into a skilled pro in his own right.

      I’ve hiked a number of steep hillsides with loose rock. Myself rolling down never was a concern of mine, it’s pieces of rock bouncing down the slope, often kicked loose by other people above you is what you have to look out for. Ideally you make sure you are never directly below somebody else. I once had to throw myself to the ground to have a rock bounce over me. Protection against falling rock is what I would wear a helmet more. It’s the reason you wear a helmet when rock climbing, as a protection against pieces of rock or equipment falling down.

    I never see Matt even looking troubled, much less the furrowing of his brow close to the top of this hill. Amazing as always! Thanks for keeping your customers and your employees safe!
