TezAZ, Im wondering at the extra strain that 35s put on a lifted cruiser with a big V8 donkey under the hood. You're obviously using your cruiser as God intended but have you considered a diff drop and/or lockers?

In the second video, at the end, my controller fell off of my seat and pushed the sticks into the up and spin position. Need less to say the drone shot up and kept climbing.

Billfish, I have a diff drop kit installed. The angles of the drive shafts are not extreme, as I am running tundra arms/axles which is increasing the length of the arm 1 1/2 inches per side.
The axle failure was 100% my fault. The part was potentially weakened a few weeks earlier when the inner joint failed. At the golden crack obstacle, I had all the torque on the one wheel. I was on the gas (too much) and applied the brake to help the Atrac start doing its thing. as soon as the brake pedal got firm from traction control kicking in and all the torque went to the one wheel, the shaft snapped.

It was a combination of adrenaline, fatigue and compromised parts.
we all hit hard obtacles, ledges, drops, and off camber climbs that really tested the trucks. Mine was just a bad culmination of circumstances.

This was the view from up on top of Golden Spike. Have only started looking at pics, I shot this panorama on a small Canon G7X, can't wait to see what the stuff from the 5D MkIII looks like up there.

Wow! Great pics and stories! No one needs to check out the 200 cruiser damage thread anymore, just check out this thread! Well done by all. I imagine there are going to be some additions to mod threads coming up. I foresee at least a rear bumper replacement!

Hells gate: @Markuson came out scratch free, still don't know how

 

[TexAZ]

I'll have to figure out how to post videos. Got good ones of the gate!
This picture came out all weird. Makes the trucks look like toys.

@Markuson getting a bad spot on hells gate.




Ok, stop and breathe again. Somehow Mark came out of that without a scratch.

Those land cruiser guys will do anything for a free car wash

So what was wrong with the spot for Markuson on Hell's Gate? Should he have stayed higher on the right? Also, what did he do to climb out of it?
