As far as the m/t for everyday use. I do drive my truck every day from POS to south of sando (Grand Ravine) I do not have any issues with them other than they do tend to hum some. But if I have the radio on at all I don't really hear it. They handle fine on the wet roads actually I find they handle better then my a/t's used to. As far as learning how to get yourself out. We can setup a weekend day to go to scuevus after a rain and I'll teach you how to recover without damage. I can tell you all day but there are so many varables in a recovery that you have to have the hands on in the mud expereince to understand what it is I mean.

It would not have mattered if elle had a locking diff, he was high centered and the driveshaft was in heavy contact with the ground. That is the main reason it took so long to get him out. Not that he was heavy stuck but he was in a bad place and if we had just pulled all sorts of expensive things would have broke. That and because of the trail, we could not get around to any other part of the truck but the rear. Mountian on one side cliff one the other.

As far a 4x4 on the runs. If your 2 wheel who cares. Go as far as you can and hop in with someone else. We parked up several trucks for that vary reason no biggie. Although I do find we should have parked up the 2 wheel trucks sooner. If that trail did not have that wide spot we would have had a time getting them turned around.

It never hurts to keep some gear in your truck even if you are 2 wheel. It is better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Corrected

very tru james, the access to the truck was very limited

I'm glad that nothing major broke - the exhaust rubber is small thing
