Lol, yes chethro, I made it through that hole. The tricky thing about Rocks and Valleys is it's up and down like a rollercoaster for the most part, lots of puddles with just high points in between. I got high-centered just enough times that the other Jeepers left the tow strap tied to my hitch receiver and tied the other end to the roof rails. Then I learned to keep up speed through the mud holes. Left a temp sensor in one of 'em, but it got fixed about a month ago.

Possibllyyyyy :/ Captinrobb was stuck so I tried to get around to the front to pull him out and loss traction on the tire that is in the water. And couldn't reverse because there was a wall of dirt behind the tire lmao. Stupid mistake.
I find it hard to believe that you could be stuck... You have a newer model year so you should have BLDs. Was ESP full off? Or was the back right down in a hole?
 
Yup was stuck that front tire was spinning with no traction and I couldn't get the power to reverse over the dirt mount. Didnt take much to pull me out was just a pain in the ass. Wish I would of gotten a shot another angle.
 
What's with the reverse gear being higher than first!? Isn't it usually the other way around so you can have the power to back out of something? Silly Jeep/Jatco engineers:doh:

I've been stuck in snow where I could spin the tires in drive but there's a 2 foot wall of snow keeping me from moving and reverse just moos at me:mad:

I too have noticed the reverse gear not being as powerful in my vehicle as well.
