This is a long video. Feel free to skip around. Not having a spotter made this take way longer.
I find it interesting that I did not get the "4x4 overheat message" this entire trip like I did on my last outing. Even though I was way harder on the 4wd this time. Maybe there is break in period with the transfer case clutch...? Like bedding in new brake pads. I'm still waiting on the workaround for that to be shipped out to me.
Gas tank skid plate should be arriving today. I had to be careful to protect the transmission and the trans lines a few times on these rocks. A skid plate solution really needs to come out for that. Rock rails performed great as did the other skid plates.
The break over angle is actually my biggest weakness and that's why I'm piling up rocks in the vid. Approach and departure is actually not bad; all things considered.
