There were a lot of 4x4's out west here back in the '70's-'80's. I did a lot of figuring how to drive one. I got my chance once and jumped in an old Pete with a 318 Detroit and 4x4. It was a 10 wheeler with an end dump not loaded but a load of itself. I set the brownie in 2nd, grabbed 2nd in the main and took off. I went up through all the gears like a pro.
