great if ur doing a 4x4 mish by urself. being able to crank the trottle on in low range when u get bogged then get out and push is great. though this can be done with cruize controll aswell. witch is probs a better/ more available option

also, pretty sure cruise control won't operate at the low speeds that would be useful for an off road situation.

please don't post stupid shit as the next dumb fuck on the net will read it & try it.

you should climb under the car and dig the mud out at the same time you get your mate to push

clearly would not require the handle throttle if there were two of you

some gq's had em as well

WTF, that HAS to be the dumbest thing I've read on here for a while...

picture this situation. your driving along in your early model lets say MQ short wheelbase turbo diesel pootroll.

this particular place that you are driving happens to be a beach with soft sand (not the car park of the hair sallon) you are again completing a trip that you have done hundreds of times before. probably about a 100km round trip its night time and your on your way home. lets say 10 oclock its a high tide supposed to peak at 12 and you are forced to drive in the soft sand near the small dunes.

as your traveling along the car begins to bog down hard and fast your only option is to drive into the water (the littel bit that the tide only just reaches) normaly this bit is harder than the rest of the beach. you drop back to lowrange and gradual begin to make your way along inch by inch you creep forwards but the hard sand is getting softer and softer. the water is begining to rush around ur tyres itself about an inch deep.

all of a sudden u find u have no way forwards and no way backwards. normaly your only options would be to get towed out, pushed or dig the sand away. theres no other people or cars around and every time u dig some sand out the water quickly washes it back in. you have to push. but no point in trying to push a bogged car in neutral is there especialy by yourself.

NOT SO STUPID NOW

a lot of guys here run a bike shifter on the sierra's shifter. They use it as a thumb throttle. The cable hooks to the upper part of the pedal, after the pivot, where pulling on it will rev the engine.

Some guys use the type you can screw down and hold in place, others use the type that "click" and release. Other guys use the kind that automatically return to idle, but I do not have enough coordination to use one that doesn't hold the position I put it in.

They are really great for taking off on a hill so you don't have to use the brake, clutch and gas all at the same time. if you do a lot of starting and stopping o hills, they are a great asset.

I think they would be worth doing if a guy wheeled much at all, but I have so much stuff yet to do finish on my rig, it is low down the list

its funny to think you guys are soo worried about starting your car in low range while your outside...
yes its not ideal but no means bad or dangerous...
maybe is for the cars not setup that have 31s and STD gearing that will do 120 km/h in low range but for most with gearing its not a problem...
first gear, 6.5 transfer, and 2000rpm, how fast is the car going, what 5km/h... hardly something to get all grimbo about to sssiera..

just farken relax hey
