Haha no, I rarely tow anything. But I do love to crawl. So yes, I'm adding another gear reduction box in front of the transfer case to have crazy low gearing.

Factory high is 1:1, factory low is 2.57:1. I'll have 1:1, 2.57:1, 4.7:1, and a 254:1 double low range that'll do just over 2,000 ft-lbs of torque at idle.

 

Roger that. Right there with you!

 

DANG Misread the quotes again, and though @Bigdaddy4760 was going crawl - now THAT confused me. So, I made another drink...

 

@Oldie2007 here's a factory 2.57:1 with the driver frequently riding the brakes.

Here's 4.7:1 with no brakes (much slower, more torque, more control)

And here's 254:1 with no driver. Double-plus-good.

The grass is currently the equivalent on what is needed to complete Van Morrisons "Brown Eyed Girl". And, thank you, that is some damn fine grass!

 

you are going to have to give me some time to go through these. I knew what you were doing, sort of, but I though Maner was doing in and my brain imploded. It all makes sense now.

 

This was in colorado, I think somewhere between Rocky mountain NP and Leadville, CO. SOme of the days kind of blur together. But I'm pretty sure that's where it was. We ended up in some other mountains not far away and out of the rain for the night. Was nice and level and very secluded there as well. Way better camping spot. Even had some ok cell service.

It was pretty fun. Vid doesn't do it justice for sure. Was pretty steep in some places with some nice whoops n top of the steepness. That is the main reason we left, we didn't want to come sliding down with the trailer the next morning if the rain kept up all night. With no trailer it wouldn't have been as much of an issue. But we had it, and the camp spot wasn't very ideal, so we left.

 

Heck of a trip sir, and great photos too! I will get to the video, and probably scare myself, because I dislike heights!

 

See why I can't handle multiple threads?

 

Video never truly captures it all. Maybe a drone would be able to?

 

The true trick in that would be getting one programmed to follow you, which I bet isn't that hard anymore! The guy that droned the house for the solar almost convinced me I should do that for my retirement job. Still might. Said he made most of his money at weddings!

 

Nah, it's not bad.. at least in the vid it doesn't look very bad at all.

I do have an OK drone, but I elected not to bring it. Besides, I'd have to fly it and my wife would have had all the fun while I filmed. Can't have that! lol

 

They make some now that will automatically follow the remote or your phone or whatever and continuously orbit around and follow you at whatever altitude you set. I imagine that would get some great angles to really put climb and decent angles into perspective.

 

THAT is pretty cool. I think I will look into these things a little!

tech changes so fast, what you can do with those damn things is amazing. But rules are very slow, and doing a lot of things that WERE legal, are getting restricted. Still, SO COOL

 

They've loosened up quite a bit. Just don't fly within 4 miles of an airport, above 400 feet, or outside your line of sight and you're fine.

 

Dang, I will be watching VIDS all day instead of cleaning the garage!

 

Here's the amazing thing..... The guy that did the house told us he gets a couple hundred to map a house, and pays for his travel, so he works on a map and a schedule. He does a wedding? $1k and up! Cool beans

 

OH, crap, it's @hoverlover late! Even the oldie needs to go to bed! Thanks guys for the vids, because I will check them out tomorrow.
Hover, remember your invite on the PM.
