Hand brake in 4wd

<< < (4/6) > >>

257Bob:
For what it's worth I never trust my handbrakes when on a steep slope, whether a ramp or out bush getting through a gate.  I always put the manual box in 1st and turn the engine off.  I've seen a couple of vehicles roll back when in neutral with handbrake on.  Not worth it.

So it seems your vehicle slipped on something which wasn't there and slid into the water. In 4wd might help with that!

Not quite correct
1. No crocs so didn't check for them
2. Not my vehicle, many other trailers in carpark, some cars, I'd say we were in deeper than most due to trailer height.
3. Slime was there 8 hours prior so
no need to check for slime or crocs, as far as im aware crocs dont reside south of Brisvegas
4. Now you're getting closer to topic at hand, would it have slipped into croc infested water if it was in 4wd, in park, handbrake on ?

 ;D

mydmax2:
I mentioned if in 4wd it would provide more traction and hold the vehicle, if slippery. You placed it in 4WD and then had more traction and drove it out. You answered your own question.

tess:
Thank you kind sir.
