THAT rock was loose,, put a wheel on it and it just rolled under

When he tried to take off the right rear wheel off weighted and was just spinning which was weird, i dont think he was using the vehicle properly, with some guidance from someone who know what they were doing he got it off.

yep,, didnt have a clue

seems a big deal over nothing realy if you couldent put a falcon or a como thou there then theres something wrong

Half right. I deliberately put the vehicle up on the rocks for pix taking the wrong line. Then I got 'marshalled' of the rocks and into trouble. Eventually I ignored the marshals and drove out. Really I should have reversed further back for the right line but didn't think the car would have any trouble over that section.

That said the vehicle's traction control definitely did not work as effectively as others I have driven. Almost like it was open-diffed. It didn't go into extended mode either which it should have done as it was hung up.

My apologies Robert,,
maybe it was the car that didnt have a clue--

No need to apologise Pedro. The mistake I made was not backing up far enough to realign to take the proper line after I'd put a wheel up on the rocks for the photo. If I'd have done that all would have been good, instead I got into trouble as happens when you don't do that.

I actually switched it out of Rock Crawl and that improved the traction control, which shouldn't be the case in that situation.

Foot in Mouth desease again mate

I saw THAT rock (in the photo) attack a couple of cars,, first wheel would roll it backwards,, the sill would roll it forwards, the rear would roll it back into the same hole!!!

evil rock.
