This is so sad ... I went offroading with a friend of mine, he also owns an Xterra. Previously he had a Jeep, and swears he did "tons of offroading in the army, we beat the snot out of those vehicles".

Anyways, we're playing around in a pit, he decides to climb one of the walls, puts it into 4-low (or tries to), gets halfway up the hill, but something's not working right. He keeps trying though, gas is mashed to the floor, nothing's moving ... nothing but that nasty stench of burning clutch and grey smoke everywhere.

I had to climb up the hill, reach across and pull it into 4-low for him. Then he made it up.

Sigh ...
