Last June I took an off road excursion course and the instructor had us go through various courses with his vehicles. He explicity said that you must maintain an even speed (uphill, going through a trench, etc.) and do so while preventing wheel spin. The minute you spin the wheels or one wheel you will loose your traction and once that happens, you are setting yourself up for trouble.

He stressed this all day to us and that is why I think DSC should have been left on. Even though this is all we have, we can still get into trouble with it but I doubt you would have gone on a difficult trail.

His vehicles were true off roaders with over sized underinflated tires and low/high gears. Did you deflate your tires? Anyone else can add to this?
