I took the advise of those around me...stay off the brake and turn into a slide if it happens. I did the turn into the slide but probably touch the brake once too much. Much to learn!
Congrats on your 1st ride! That JK U Rubi is extremely capable. Throw on a budget lift and some 35's and you've got a very capable wheeling machine. I have a set of 4 door Xenon flares for sale that you need!
Glad it worked out. Those that know me know I would have had a major portion of padding ripped out of the center of the drivers seat! HUGE pucker for off camber.
My technique for a slippery decent....
Low gear, ease down, if I start to slide, I ACCELERATE a little getting the wheels up to the slide speed so I regain complete control. No brakes.
Once control is felt, I try to slow down a little.
