Them guys at Chevy should have put wings on burbans cause they are built to fly! /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif My old burb, a rusty 89 1/2 ton 4x4 (bone stock) saw a little action in some irrigation ditches. I had been through this one particular ditch twice before but it had rained the night before so there was water in it this time. Not wanting to get stuck with my icky street tires, I hit the ditch going about 35 MPH. The ditch was 8 feet deep. I'm prety sure I never touched the nearside bank until my front bumper plowed into the farside bank and started throwing basketball sized chunks of mud onto my hood and windshield. The impact knocked my t-case out of 4WD and my buddy hit his head on the roof (he WAS buckled up and WAS NOT abnormaly tall...).
Second time, I was in my new burb, 91 3/4 ton 6" lift and 36's boggin at the local place. My friend in a stock jeep had gotten through a mud pit to the other side but skirting the edges and was giving me $hit over the CB so I decided to show him how it was really done. I went straight down the middle. There was a little peninsula hump of dry ground in the middle of the pit and as I was tearing ass through the mud I hit the hill and went airborn. All I know is that I lost the horizon, everyone watchin said I got a good 4 feet of air under the front tires, came down hard on my 10 bolt, but no damage. Again, knocked the t-case out of 4WD (is this just an NP241 thing or what?)
