Got it...like having a 3rd leg/foot. Thanks!Here is how it works. Let's say you are rock crawling with a spotter and you have to crawl and stop, crawl and stop.... With a stick, normally when stopped on a boulder, you have to use the emergency brake to stop from rolling back while working the clutch in granny gear (1st gear, 4wD low)... With the rock crawl enabled on a quick access cruise button, you stop on top of the rock, foot on brake and clutch, then, press the rock crawl mapped cruise button, and all 4 disc brakes lock, you casually take your foot off the brake, then, start working the clutch in 1st gear, and when it starts grabbing, you let your finger off the rock crawl button and the truck moves forward. No emergency brake to manage to stop from moving backwards.... and the rock crawl is much safer in that it locks all 4 disc brakes, instead of the flimsy emergency brake which only enables the rear brake. Brilliant !!
I used it during two badge of Honor boulder trails at Big Bear - Gold mountain, and Holcomb Creek trail. It was a game changer for me. After working it all day on two trails, you get used to it... It does take a little time to train yourself, so, I recommend practicing before using it on a tough trail.
