No need to worry, we'll tell the owners of that beast to make sure he is chained up on a short leash. We don't want to scare little kids and the faint of heart.
OK, kids it's about that time for the SoCal Spring Rally. I'll start this up now so everyone hopefully has can request time off from work or needs to some how squeeze it in to a conversation with their significant other for a weekend pass. This event will be at the same location that we...

I'm headed up to Azusa OHV for some fun on Sunday if anyone wants to join me. We'll be taking my 5 ton and a couple of quads. I'll try not to get stuck again, but that's what I said last time.
Meet up at 210 and Azusa intersection Shell gas station 9:00 - 9:30.
Here is a video of them winching me out.
We are probably going this Sunday.

I have a winch on mine, but it did me no good. I had to be pulled out from the rear.
The whole thing with not putting it in reverse while in low is that you can break your transfer case. Lots of info here on it.
