Got stuck in mud..NEED HELP
Im a newbie when it comes to offroading. Stupid me, thought it was easy and got myself stuck in mud for about 8 hrs. lol. Anyways, after going to wal mart countless times to buy rope and a winch, my buddies and I finally got my 98 4runner out. My runner is 4X4, but i was wondering when is it a good time to turn on the Rear diff lock? also, how fast should i be going while diff lock is engaged with my 4x4?

unless you ground out the grey wire (search..), it will only work when its in 4lo... (that can be fixed tho) i would turn it on as soon as you start wheelin and need the traction.

be sure when getting straps to get the non-hooked kind and buy some D ring shackles, not clevis hooks. Shackles = safety from what you'll see said on the boards...
