Also, it's been said that if you pull your E-brake partially on you will transfer drive to the spinning wheel of your open diff and get some needed traction. Haven't tried this yet. I have been stuck on my lawn on wet grass, trying to back up on a slight (<1% grade) with all season tires, even. Sucks for traction, the van. I have done some good with Hakapelitika (sp) tires and putting about 150lbs right at the tailgate, I too haul my carpentry tools around, and I now take care to get stuck turning around +before+ work, not when I get ready to go home... Syncro locker rear end, anyone? Don Hanson
