Re: Re: YJ front locker?
If I had had the nerve to goose the accelerator a little I know I could have
pulled right out of it. What I did was stay off the brakes and steer with the skid. But it over-corrected three or four times on me. San Juan Mountains are not suitable for four wheeling yet, heh, but the snow pack is pretty light. Look for a good year, but you might have to pack water and there may be camping restrictions like there were five years ago. Earle "L.W.
