Sometimes you can get stuck with a wheel spinning uselessly. Apply a tiny bit of emergency brake to allow power to go to a wheel that isn't spinning uselessly.

Sweet. Also, another 4x4 hack for really loose sand is to pull out your floor mats, dig under the stuck wheels, and lay a short track out with them. Much more traction driving over your floor mats than over loose, dry sand!

Ill give you this information and let you do the math lol. The E-brake is a drum brake fitted to the rear output shaft of the transfer case.

Nah, that would send ALL of the power to the now missing front prop shaft. But without a CDL, if both rear wheels are on the ground, this is going to happen regardless of the P brake.
