First offroad experience ever.

First off greetings from the beautiful island of Guam. This was my first off roading of any type and my buddy
was pretty much taking pictures of everyone else so I don't have much.
Little downhill action!

If you look at the middle right hand side you can see everybody that had rushed down the hill to see why I could get it started.

This is the hill that got away. Tried and tried but kept getting stuck then stall and went back down at about 25 mph! scary going
in reverse down a steep hill with no brakes.

If I can get the pictures of the other camera I'll post em if they're any good

If you stall on a hill like that i think the correct procedure is to apply footbrake ,start engine select reverse ,release clutch and let the engine braking take you back down slowly.

Drive on LO. When you get stuck due to wrong angel...pull hand break up to distribute the power and go for it...defflock system...works all the time for me

If you lose power and stall the engine on a hill, let it die with the clutch engaged so the vehicle is kept still by the stalled engine!

When you want to proceed downwards, apply hand brake, depress foot brake, disengage clutch, select reverse gear, engage clutch, remove pressure on both brakes. Crank the engine while not touching anything but the steering wheel and the ignition key. The engine will start and do engine braking immidiately when you go downhill.

Never disengage the clutch if you stall mate. It's very dangerous for both you and people around you. Be careful and enjoy a good time

yea i got a 6 speed manual 2wd so it doesn't have LO gear and yea i did
disengauge the clutch but forgot all about the hand brake. all i could think about
is oh crap i'm going backwards and i don't have any power to my brakes heh.

Props for wheeling the 2wd. Now how about some Island scenery pics? The scenery in the background looks cool.

ok here are some more pictures

Yea the path to Tank Farm was on fire but not for long.

This guy took 2 hours of pedal to the metal to try to get out before my buddy had to pull him out heh.

There are alot more pictures but I just remember my buddy is on leave so i can't get the pictures from his camera.
