dont feel bad, got an 05 4x4 colorado stuck IN 4wd in a snowbank while on a job. I think 4low is out friend, he did the same thing, hit 4hi, hit the bank at about 20, nice wave of snow came up the front and all 4 tires were off the ground. So dont feel bad, We were banked for 4 hours and it was around 10 degrees outside in the middle of farmland with knee deep snow.

One quick question...When you guys go mudding do you go onto the trail in 4wd..or do you have it in 2wd then flip it to 4wd when needed??

I use 4hi when just driving the trails, when its gets messy I switch to 4lo if its needed. The trick with mud is to keep the tires spinning so they dont get stuck in the suction of the mud.
