Excellent move on the photographers part to get some trees in the background. I'd never have bought it otherwise.

Ditto: Did he make the climb? As soon as that front tire comes forward & loses support from the side by that rock, you'd have to already be hard on the throttle with the wheels cut downhill. Definitely possible, but did he...?

That is the point that I realized that my rear locker would not lock up. I tried the turning brakes and the skinny pedal but I couldn't climb it. I had to back up and put the drivers tire inside the rock. I'll get it next time or put it on it's lid.

I took the pic and yes he did make the line with the rear locker not working. He pretty much dragged the rear diff over the rock that in the picture his front drivers tire is next to. Dragged the turning brakes and went with it.

I am trying to wheel as much as I can these days we are running out of summer. The rig must be bent in all of the right places because it is working better than ever before. Or maybe I am just learning how to drive it. I guess I might as well rub it in I have also been in a rock race and to Moonrocks since the Hammers.
