Default crazy wheel hop in mud/snow

We still have an *** load of snow here at ft. drum and me and my buddies were doin some four wheelin in the tundra and it started gettin pretty deep anyway I stood on it and got the most violent wheel hop ever I mean I thought the dash was gonna break it was terrible I was in four high and it was thick wet snow. Just wonderin if anybody else had that happen oh ya then I got stuck and had to dig it out

We have some nasty clay trails here in Tallahassee and I have experienced similar situations to where it was bouncing so bad I thought the whole inside of the truck was going to break. I think this would happen with any truck though...maybe a little more so on the Tundra but idk. Here's a vid I took of my truck and you can actually see and hear the violent bouncing situation...

Had it happen to me in similiar snow conditions. I think it is the tires biting and then loosing traction as the snow packs under the tire. I don't think its the truck.

Sequoia2003 has little shameless behaviour in the past.

ok... all my trucks have done this and it's normal. When you have 3,300lbs on the front tires and just 2,200lbs on the rear tires and you spin the tires the rear will hop when the tires navigate over the rough terrain.
