<strong>So how do you get down something like that?

It was very comforting to have the Isuzu Tug Team (ITT) hanging on to the strap to prevent an endo...even though you probably aren't all that close to flipping anyway.

As far as how, on a ledge like that it is usually some of both. Depends how dusty it is, bare rock will grip pretty well, but if you get some loose stuff on there you will slide (which is a lot more exciting for the driver <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" /> ). The key is to have the right line before you start to slide. Brake pedal control is a very important skill in an automatic Trooper... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
