Here is a video of me testing out a new suspension in my last truck. That was an ATV ramp doing about 35mph :steer:

that noise is the camera doing some sort of auto focus.

Suspension was Donahoe Coilovers with Camburg Upper control arms in the front and deaver springs rear with Bilsten 5100's was about 3" lift on 33's.

Only real damage was putting the driverside Upper control arm uniball bolt through the wheelwell about another inch and it would of smashed all the brake lines :eek:.

Always wanted to get airborn at least once and that has satisfied that hunger :steer:.

The 60 flew once, it was not captured on tape as it was spontanous and only lives in local lore... It flew as though it were Icarus....well I embelished that last part, but it did fly and two jeeps did it afterward and broke sh3t... the LC was none the worse for wear...
 
I once had the south Abu Dhabi distance record for truck flying. Over thirty feet in a clapped out mini-truck. It belonged to a contractor. That Hilux just wouldn't break. I had a K5 454 blazer and it wouldn't fly for sheet. But it broke good. But the best flying was in Saudi on my Suzuki TS400. Gave it up when I realized that if I came off of it with something broken I would probably die out there.
Of course sand is softer than red dirt. When I'd come off the Suki I'd be digging sand out of every orifice for about three days after. No videos.
