Looks like a lot of fun. Next time you'll have to call a friend that's got a truck with better offroad tires.

Or call a friend with a Chevy haha jk doesnt matter the make as long as they will help..

But have you checked into an earth anchor? Similar idea to the stakes but it looks like a normal anchor that digs deeper and deeper the harder its pulled. Ive seen a few of them but dont know where to get them.

lockers dont affect gas mileage, but they can add some fun into your handling. sharp turns might create a hopping feel. (only with limited slip lockers). selectable lockers are the same as open diffs until you activate them, in which case both tires move at the same rate with no exceptions until you deactivate them.

Is this the same as a "pull pal"? I've heard of those before?

Ive seen a similar anchor at 4 Wheel Parts. Might have one someday but for now I'm just gonna get me 3 0r 4 6ft stakes to use. Can accomplish the same thing for a lot less money. The one I saw was $150.
