Ten Stupid Things
men do to mess up their four wheel drive


1 ignoring wheel cheat
(men know - friends are important -- tires are good friends - treat them well)
2 using too much speed or power
(many times, faster than too slow is too fast)

3 steering at standstill
(power steering is a wonderful tool to break tie rods etc)

4 using the clutch the same way as on pavement
(if you don't know what "starting in gear" means and you still use the clutch to regulate speed - see "A smart thing some men do" below )

5 following one's gut feeling
(most likely it'll be wrong - humans have no genetic imprint for driving cars yet)

6 straddling obstructions
(men should know - they would not take anything high between their legs either)

7 rushing through water
(humans want to rush away from danger and get in trouble during the process)

8 keeping thumbs in steering wheel
(bruised or broken thumbs really hurt)

9 hanging head out of window
(makes you "feel" you are in control - but you'll miss potential danger on the other side)

10 using 4WD after getting stuck
(now that is really stupid!)

I agree except on number 9. I have to admit most off roaders do this...
Especially when you are crossing and or driving over a big or a deep rut.

RIDE ON...

Saan ko nga ba nabasa ito dati. Natawa ako doon sa 'gut feeling' thing, eh. Hehehe. :mrgreen:

otep ano tong "starting in gear" na sinasabi,ito ba yung inost mo na pedeng gawin para makaalis sa obstacle?

[OTEP]

Basta, kung namatayan ka, hindi naka-neutral ang gear mo and nakabitaw ka sa clutch when you start.

Hindi ko pa sinubukan, eh.

4L ka dapat dito diba, para kahit hindi mo apakan ang clutch tutuloy parin ang start ng makina, gas man or diesel?

di ako sure diyan ah, I'm just theorizing, kasi nga pinakita sa akin ni Freeman na 4L, 1st gear and wala kang inaapakan gagapang ang sasakyan...

[jay crew]

para palang automatic transmission yung sinsasabi ni crawdaddy,ano yun pag naka 4l ka ba di mamamatayan ng makina?

jay crew,

para palang automatic transmission yung sinsasabi ni crawdaddy,ano yun pag naka 4l ka ba di mamamatayan ng makina?

nope, hindi ka mamamatayan. Freeman showed me first hand nung pauwi na kami nung Phase01 (diesel) then I tried it sa Vitara nung itest drive ko (gas).

I put it in 4L, 1st gear and released the clutch. tinaas ko pa ang mga paa ko to show my wife na wala akong inaapakan, gumagapang kami on flat land. :D

I did this sa river crossing sa daraitan, yun may mga boulder. nag stalled siya before getting out of the water, then start ko without stepping on the clutch. Without missing a beat tuloy tuloy lang siya.

afrasay,

Hardcore na hardcore ka na talaga. hehehe.
