My ol Jimmy 4x4 WITHOUT that ABS junk would whoa just as quickly as it would go. Just locked up with the left foot and hold, shift to reverse, floor it, then let off the brake. STOPS!!! unnervingly quickly on snow, ice, icey snow. Not recommended at all for dry or even merely wet pavement due to the transition from locked up to spinning tires in reverse to direction of travel.

DO NOT attempt in ABS equipped 4x4 as the ABS will not allow you to bring and/or hold the drivetrain at a full stop with the vehicle in motion. This does not allow the ability to shift the trainmission from D forward to R reverse with vehicle in motion.

I have not tried disabling the ABS in any of my ABS equipped 4x4 vehicles to attempt this adverse traction stopping technique in said vehicles.
