Also, it's been said that if you pull your E-brake partially on you will
transfer drive to the spinning wheel of your open diff and get some needed
traction.  Haven't tried this yet.     I have been stuck on my lawn on wet
grass, trying to back up on a slight (<1% grade)  with all season tires,
even.  Sucks for traction, the van.  I have done some good with Hakapelitika
(sp) tires and putting about 150lbs right at the tailgate,  I too haul my
carpentry tools around, and I now take care to get stuck turning around
+before+ work, not when I get ready to go home...
  Syncro locker rear end, anyone?
