Anyone tried this going down a sand dune? Heading to the dunes this weekend lol
I wouldn't. The thought of doing that simply makes me nervous AF.

I've heard that engaging your rear lockers is supposed to help to keep you straight during that descent. It normally requires 4lo, which isn't an option unless you have something like a Tazer. I haven't experimented with that though.

Didn’t know what this button was first time wheeling but when I went on my second excursion I was impressed. I practically crawled down a steep incline. Also if you have paddles you can adjust the speed with those.

It is fantastic when you need to go down a steep, slick incline. My driveway is treacherous in good conditions, and when it is icy, this is the only way I can make it down sometimes.

For reference, my "driveway" is a 3/4 mile dirt lane that cuts diagonally up the side of a small mountain (big hill), with a sheer drop on 1 side that at the top is all of 100 feet straight down to the decommissioned railroad bed below.
I’ve had dreams of a driveway like this. I always wanted to have a house only accessible by 4x4. Needless to say living in the city has worn me out.

I do not need 4x4 in the summer, however in the winter it can be a lot of "fun". Yes, that's my plow truck, stuck and essentially useless - thus the footprints :facepalm:
