And given how nearly all videos/pictures make any feature/obstacle/trail in any off roading discipline look way easier than it is IRL, even more impressive!

I was at UBB too. But didn’t do anything as tough as you did. I think what is most impressive is that you did it with all that stuff on top of your bronco, making it super top heavy. Well done

Yeah that definitely made it a challenge, it’s bad enough that for this, the raptor takes a different line than non raptors. By the way, is this you? I was admiring for a long while

Yes that is me. It was a great time out there in sand hollow. I did the tamer trails. Razzle dazzle, resurrection, and samsonite.

How did you not tip over on this?

How did you not tip over on this?

Geometry. The steepest off camber point was 22°. Rattles the nerves but you won’t tip. The hard part is the chair and seatbelts don’t restrain well during camber, and you don’t want to lean on the door and raise your center gravity because the RTT is already doing that. If I started to get close to 30° I would reset for a new line

Is this the tuck that had the tires farting air because it was so over loaded that I heard about?

I do not. I was asking a? about what I heard & this example you provided seemed to match what I was told.
I run 10-11 PSI without beadlocks all the time. Only lost a bead once at 10 PSI
YMMV

Nice. Did you ride all sidewall on a v notch at 10?

I go off-roading, but not rock climbing (at least not like that). I am not yet to the point of causing damage to my Bronco for fun.

It was an impressive run...
