Then Phil yells out: "You need to try it in "FOUR WHEEL DRIVE".

Me: "Doh! I thought I was!"

The left hub was not locked. (That happened to me once before, so I double check now when I lock'em. So, I’m not sure what happened there. 31 years of looking at computer screens and I'm having trouble with fine print these days. I obviously can't trust my eyes and from now on, I'll have to put on my glasses to lock my hubs. Do they make Warn hubs in Braille?)

look at Michael's hubs next time - he has stripes painted on there (some PO) that line up when open, and point different directions when locked - easy enough for the nearly blind among us

in my experience, wheel lift in a 40 isn't really optional but part of the game

as far as a rear tire lift on downhill, I can only cite what a wise man told me on my very first wheeling outing in the 40 (from 1.5 miles away over the CB no less more than 7 years ago): "Claudia, this may sound unintuitive, but when in doubt downhill, you have to give it gas" and it still feels every time since then - my last time barreling down was with a 4 foot passenger rear tire lift (as azTony told me later) I almost ran Michael over

BTW, what was it with the hood up at lunch

BTW, what was it with the hood up at lunch

It was running a little hot earlier - the water temp hit 215. Too much lugging and standing still with all the rigs on this run. Nice cool break helped it out quite a bit.
