Somtimes a little more wheelbase makes all the difference.:drink:

True. Phil's Landcruiser wheels up things I can't all the time. This was one time though that my long wheel base helped. You shuld have heard Phil's son after the guy told us he was going to post it up on their website "dad you can't let them put that up Uncle Ronnie's truck walked up it and your truck had trouble". It was funny.

Those videos are cool, but it's stupid that they play music instead of the actual sound. It helps the experience when you hear the motor rev and the tires grip.

It's okay, you didn't really miss anything. Phil just lets out the clutch and idles up things like this.

That's different, that hill was loose dirt with a step that needed some throttle. In the canyon we were climbing rocks that give lots of traction and we were trying to keep his top from hitting the wall.

The longer wheel base helped on this obstacle for sure. I could have crawled up it at any time, I was just trying to avoid damage to my top. I already have a patch on the top from that same spot. It was a nice wheel air though!

I spend just as much time crawling, as I do going banzai. I do tend to favor the skinny pedal when things get tough. Look at chapter seven in the rocks.
