Chestnut Mountain Road Runs

Haha, no worries

 

I got stuck a few times and had to rock it or get some speed up. Gotta carry that momentum.
Also took a strap from Jimbo trying to get up that steep ass hill coming back.
I was going a pretty good clip, had my speed up coming up the hill but the auto switched from 2nd to 1st and when it did, it just spun and dug a hole in that loose gravel.

I went from going about 20mph to 0 in about 15 ft once the tire spun.

 

a couple pics of @PvilleJohn

 

That large loose gravel isn't fun it doesn't pack as well as road bed or crush and run so it easily can come out from underneath you. If they had not put any gravel I think you wouldn't of had any issues.

 

Here are the pics I got. Apparently I had the motion option on my phone selected for some don't know how I did that.

 

I am disappointed none of us got a pic of @BravesTaco95 making it under that downed tree. That was a pretty tight clearance for those of us who had some sort of rack/stuff on the roof.

 

I thought I had it but I only got a partial of it. I'll have to check my other cameras.

I'm more surprised no one got him sending it up that mud rutted slope.

 

Which one? I got a few of his climbs that I posted a few posts ago. Some of the other ones he was up before I had a chance to run back and watch.

 

The same one he posted of me going up it a page or so back.

YYEEEESSS!!!

 

Yeah that was easy peasy with 4wd.

Looked much more violent from behind. I thought the RTT was going to come off there was some loud clang when he slid sideways into the rut.

 

You can see the antennae whipping around, I think it almost touched the ground!

Everything looks so much smoother on video.

 

That antenna is a hazard I almost got popped by it a couple times. The spring is working though to take the stress off the antenna.

 

One thing is for certain. I will air down to 20psi on the next trip.
Not just for traction....but to keep from beating my steering components to death. Such a smoother
and predictable ride. Even at HPR, reducing air pressure and improving the footprint, makes for a much
more comfortable ride.

 

Definitely

 

Yeah I would’ve liked to see just how close I was to hitting it.

Yeah it didn’t feel smooth at all from inside. I was worried I would slam into the bank and dent a fender or two. But all I was thinking send it and I’ll worry about the rest after I get over.

Yeah it works. It’s always slapping the side of the tent with even small bumps.

 

Not related, I think it was @ovrlndkull who asked about the Scat Pack.
