Hi Everyone,
Getting to our property is about 2.5 miles up a twisty turny "mountain road" where 4x4 is needed in some areas especially if it has rained. It used to be gravel when the gas drills worked but the wells dried up and the gravel has washed away to leave a rocky, rut filled road.
When it was gravel it wasn't to bad on the way back down because the gravel helped slow you down. Without it some areas might get you moving real fast and some of those small rocks are sharp or you might hit a turn to fast and go off the edge which would be a bad day.
Would 4wd-low be a better choice on they way back. 4wd-low and keeping it in 1st gear instead of using just the brakes on the way down?
Thanks!
