    Thanks man, but there are some very nice trucks in here that can hold that banner very well. I've seen quite a few that I'm impressed with here.

    Build thread in sig... 4-link long travel
    You said there were two ways up that... I'm still not seeing the second option. Is it just out of frame in all of the pictures/videos?

    We do not have a rear swing out bumper right now. We were working on one but interest kinda died off. It's on our back burner but still on the stove.

    I'll get a picture of the second way up for you. the only thing I've seen make it up the second way is a rock buggy. It's just plain nasty.

    DAmn that is a huge/beastly ass rig. Awsum crawling vids, too. I like that older yota.

    Not sure if your longer wheelbase is an advantage or disadvantage in that scenario. Looks like you just crawled up where the other guys had to punch it. If the falls were a little closer together though you would have had to crawl up both simultaniously which could have been tough.

    Such a crazy rig man. Would love to drive it.

    Longer wheelbase is almost always an advantage to a hill climb... Though sometimes it can really be a shit storm with it too.

    Many people try to shorten their wheel base but for me I love my long wheel base. It provides a ton of stability, it climbs like a mountain goat, and it rides nice on the freeway. There hasn't been a trail yet that I haven't been able to go on merely because my wheel base is too long. And I've never needed a winch before either. In fact I've never had one until a couple months ago.
