Wow, did all seven of them do Hell's Gate, or where they just watching the fun? Nice to see the two doors well represented!
All 7 climbed it. This is how we stacked up afterwards. As far as I can remember, none of the 2drs got winched up.. but a couple of 4drs did.

If you have IFS and short wheel base use this line
I did Hells Gate last year for the first time and Mandy and her brother Steve from Warhorse spot me and it exactly the same line I took without spotter

This year without spotter


Last year with Mandy and Steve spotting me
The one tip I saw from someone is to try to keep your hood level as much as you can. You did a great job at that.

Pretty interesting when you compare it to a stock Bronco on the same obstacles. Finesse makes it up slick rock a lot more than the kamikaze method, as evident by OP's video and this one.

No question that Vaughn drives unbelievably smoothly. To take a stock 4dr Bronco through there with very almost no damage (outside of the taillight) speaks highly of his driving skills. Tyler in his defense, does not have the extensive background of Vaughn and it shows in Tyler's approach to the trail. Sad to see his Bronco turtle though.

Another tip via @goatman2 is stay right even when left feels better.

Wish I would have had that tip on Tuesday last week when I lost site of my spotter.

I've heard that from several different sources, but this kind of looks like you went too far right though?

got a link? I gotta see that....

found it...so funny BB is now running ICON tie rods... 🤣🤣🤣 I guess he realized they were a better deal than his own bandaids.
honestly was not impressed with BB or his driving skills. being on 40s, he should have been leading the pack instead of holding up the show, but nope.

my take from moab this year was this....body lifts do NOT belong here folks. the lower center of gravity rigs did the best BY FAR. lower CG equals less weight transfer and that means MORE equalized traction on all 4 tires. following a pack of 6gs this became obvious the first day.
Yeah, Ive always kinda followed the Low CG thing, but it showed me for sure last Year at Trail Hero in Sand Hollow, by Basesquatch on 37s stock suspension on the trails I did. How well the Bronco climbed impressed the Jeep guys for sure.

Nice job fellas. We had a couple Broncos in our group end up sideways on the wall otw up Hells Gate. As for the body lift piece, I had mine (3") taken off a few weeks before this meet so I could run some new bumpers. I will say my Bronco felt much more planted with everything I did from not sitting up so high. Can't wait to get out there again and try all the things I missed this last go around.

Pretty sure this is where BroncBuster put it on his top in a video I saw yesterday posted up by Bleepin Jeepin. His Bronco was doing a pretty good job of handling most of the obstacles the other Jeeps that hade way more suspension then he did. Go team 2dr.👍🏼
Nah. An almost stock Xj on 33s kicked every other vehicles ass in that video, let’s not pretend the Broncbuster is some lowly stock vehicle
