HO K first things first the arms and legs thing i will give ya def should have been kept inside at ll times. Also was a woman driver. Also the jeep was more then capable of making this obstacle slowly. Hell i did. Def was scary when it happened and was not on purpose. For some reason could not get it to crawl and she spazzed lol. Any ways was definitely scary but really wasn't intentional. And it had a happy ending.

Absolutely, literally just giver light throttle let her spin and the jeep will do all the work. Absolutely amazed at how well it worked. Kinda thinking no lockers for me lol. Only concern is When i get into wet slick stuff it kills damn near all power. And on a wet hill climb it's dangerous.
