That is why I have a full banger roll cage in my motor, and full race 5 point belts, but not wanting to do what matey did in the vid, just as well he dropped the young lad off beforehand, it is as I said before, comes down to think about it first, evaluate the situation and only act on what you have established as a safe operation, I am not saying that a presumed safe operation cannot go wrong, it can but you need to be able to evaluate what may go wrong and have a get out strategy if needed, this sounds easy, it is not, suffice to say I have survived so far, makitfit great respect, Rick

The way i was taught years ago if you fail/stall a steep hill, foot brake on handbrake on.select reverse, engine off, then release the handbrake then slowley the foot brake,the motor should hold itself in gear, then turn the starter to a nice control decent.

Mine will go up that relatively slowly and so managable, but then I've got about 170 BHP and 35" mud tyres |

I think a standard Paj/shogun comes in at under a hundred horse power so even a standard T2 TDI has a lot more grunt that that, especially when you consider that a T2 is also lighter
could this also be a case of just selecting the wrong gear for the climb |
