If you’ve seen that obstacle in person you’d understand how things get broken trying it. Typically full bodied vehicles don’t try it, it’s definitely more buggy build types. It’s wet, muddy, big and steep and even if it’s dry traction is minimal.
Badass build! I might borrow some of your ideas for my rig, when I eventually get around to working on it.
Had fun this weekend just blasting around locally. I found this cool pic in my google drive from a few years ago. Truck is all back together, Dutchman stubs and threw in my drive slugs until the yukon warranty parts for the hubs gets here.
Who are the jackass’s in the background ruining the photo?
I don't have @mrk5 skills to photoshop it. Lol.
Speaking of wheeling though, we need to do another night run once he gets his rig finished.
Circus clowns that roll around in a chopped up suburban.
That sounds awesome! Mine hasn’t been out since November.
Blasting around the Ouray and Telluride area this past weekend. Did some camping. Overlanding mode loaded down for all 4 of us.

Out for a quick blast today with @rderosier before the torrential downpours set it, which seems to be our standard afternoon affair.
Slick muddy mess up there, makes for a whole different feel on the trail.
Different kind of fun!

I was gonna machine the valve housing for that new seal which is next to the old one but the Series 10 and Series 20 spool size is not the same.
Clock is ticking
