Elephants rob broken down orange truck in South Africa. 😂

...whoever thought of that is a genius 😎

There is a lazy axil on some trucks. The round piece of tree trunk acts like a cog to drive the lazy axil. With both wheels working like a diff-lock, the truck is able to get out of being stuck, because one wheel is spinning.

Brilliant! But I can see both axles are driven, so why not engage the diff locks?

Everyone now carry logs in the box

Others use a differential lock for this.

What a BS fake. If u watch closely u can see how loosely the log sits in there. Power transfer impossible. My guess - the truck has AWD and the driver just activated the differential locks

Need to remember all these tricks.

Look at that 👀
