Default 250 AWD vs Mud Field...

Mud wins...



Did end up rocking it out with another person though, weird seeing all 4 wheels spin with no forward movement

LOL. Never planning on doing that again.

I was actually dropping a friend off to get their car (field was a parking area for an event) and wasn't paying attention when all of a sudden my car stopped moving. I figured "pfff, whatever i have awd" so i cranked it and my back wheel just kept sinking. Turned traction off and still no luck. I was NOT happy .. oh well a few hours of detailing this weekend will get her back to 100% clean.

Do we get toe hooks with our cars? I think i read somewhere that we do but I didn't see it mixed in with the tools we get.

No Lexus besides the LX and the GX should ever touch mud.

Yeah you should have on in your trunk. Mines in my tool kit on the side. Just take out the hook, pop off the cap on the front/back bumper and screw in the hook.
