Had a great time, and thanks for leading all day. If you want to get some more practice CLIMBING and squeezing between trees you should bring it up to Interlake

Here is 2.5 hours of video cut down to 2 videos under 10 minutes.

And the 1/4" wall tube that received a dent, and the broken flange.

Both were done while showing awesomeness. The hill climb that you broke the shaft on looked so bad ass until it actually gave way. 3 tires just slinging rocks and dirt from a ranger is awesome

y dont you put a 3in body lift on so your tires have more room

 

[kris97ranger]

or cut another 3" outta the fenders.

i think his whole plan has been to keep it low. thats why its so low

I don't need to do either...there is plenty of room for the tires

and yes my plan was to keep it as low as possible......still managed to rub my roof last weekend
