Just driving to suit and recover from a stall will fix...
I’d rather it locked than cooking the oil..
Here’s a vid: old school RR stalls....

Stalling ANY 4WD in that situation wouldn't have been "Pretty" regardless of make or model.

Tombie, what are your thoughts on what little you can see in my video that I should have done, especially the first rocky bit. I get the too much throttle / abrupt stop / rock crawl / lock-up is the cause. But it's difficult to judge how much to back off I sometimes find.

Compared to seat of the pants which is impossible to sometimes judge (I’ve seen old video of me offroad and it doesn’t look anything like it felt).
Hindsight is a big thing, easy to critique from a screen.
In the case you were driving I likely wouldn’t have been in Rock Crawl. It’s a little too aggressive for the surface.
I’ll watch it a few more times...![]()
Ok... lots of back and forth on the video.
I’d be in Mud and Ruts personally, I find it plays nicer when on a scrambling surface (rock crawl is more rock, where you can hook up)..
Looks like you started feeling it slow progress and gave it a bit of Right Welly just before the progress stopped.
Likely in this instance it was at full boost, Tc Locked up, a couple of wheels under full grip and the others have braked hard just as you buttoned off.
The Tc has been unable to unlock in time, idle speed has dropped below threshold and its stalled.
Can you (if it’s close by) try that hill again in Mud and Ruts?
Thinking back as best I can and as you say it all happens fast with poor recall ....
But everything you've said here lines up and makes sense.
I do generally use Mud/Ruts majority of the time but thought Rock Crawl for this rock to reduce wheel spin.
However, once on the slope, it felt looser in parts. And steeper than I remembered from one year prior (when I did get up there in Mud/Ruts I think).
I think over reaction with right foot almost coincided with button off.
Cheers,
Scott
PS .... worth noting the stall is a rare situation and perhaps seems like a more common scenario to the non-D3/D4 reader due to it being discussed at length in this thread.
And yes, I can get back there it's about 2 hours away so a good place for a day trip. Just for scientific research of course![]()
