That ^ is always frustrating. 200lb bumper bouncer is always a classy move.

 

I've been "hung up" meaning I've had to back out of an obstacle and try a new line. ...and I've been unable to proceed or clear an obstacle. Only times I've been stuck were in deep snow (2' or more) or one time when I tried to go through this very deep mud pit just for the hell of it. I knew I wasn't getting through unless at full throttle and I wouldn't commit to that. ...then again that was a long time ago and I didn't think to turn off DSC. Hmmmm....I wonder if that pit is still there? Anyway, Dusty is right, stuck happens. All this means for me is that I need to wheel more!

 

I would not suggest towing in reverse. The differentials are not designed for that. Think about the design of the gears in them for a moment. Also don't tow with your winch, this is usually where you end up with a hook or a cable through your windshield.

I'm not exactly sure what's going on in that picture though.

 

I was just joking. I think he is stuck and two people are pulling him out.

BUT, on D2 and older land rover just ran a rear diff in the front, so it runs backwards anyway, so in reverse it should be just as strong as in drive: one diff running right and one diff running wrong.

Now of course that doesn't take into account the other parts of the drive line, just the diffs.

 

meh, reverse cut gears for backwards towing.

 

Yup, that's why I said I wasn't sure what was going on in that picture. He looks like he's in a creek bed. Didn't make SCARR this year, it looked like a lot of fun though.
