    Calling all Toyota aficionados

    You are lucky, when this has happened to me the front wouldn’t pull me out. I or one time my dad dug out the big rock or tree stump. It sucks when one rear wheel doesn’t move, because all the power goes to the spinning wheel. A locker puts power to both wheels and you either get out, dig in...
