On Yankee, there is a rock quarry that is extremely difficult to get up. First, a 3rd gen got up it, then Ric tried to get up with his minivan tires but didn't make it so I gave it a whirl. Turns out with my new tires I only got about a foot more than Ric.
Looking back at it today, I got to thinking that I might have left my center diff unlocked. So I kept beating myself up about it and couldn't believe I had done that.
However, driving home tonight, I remembered that I missed the LC crawl right up it with no problems because (heres the clincher) I was too busy getting my damn center diff unlocked. SO in the end, I WAS smart enough to lock it up!

Ill clarify it up a little more, as Doug was first trying to get up the pit, he would hit it "D" I noticed it, and told him to put the gear shifter in 1, PLUS he was hitting alot slower then I, once he had it in 4LO and 1st, he did pretty good, I was hitting it a little faster, lol, so I think momentem got me up as far asw my tires would allow, but ya gotta remember, this is his first year of really wheeling,
IMHO hes doing AWESOME, learning more every trip, learning his rig, following the spotters advise/direction
IMHO if he had just a few more trips under his belt, he would have make it, he was sooooo close, and Im talking within 2" of making it, but was smart enough to know when to stop and not break, major kudos
