Loose dry dirt in the woods?

This is typical Northern Michigan... lots of trees and sand.

Impressive, the hill just seem to keep going up. Appeared at first you were keeping the front wheels out of rut, then when they slipped in, you got on it to the top!

No hate, just curious. Are you past the break in period or do you live by the “just send it” book?

@Mattwings Which mode was used to ascend this hill?

I saw something somewhere about that not being a good idea for wear and tear with the shift points in the transmission and the lockers and everything. Probably want to get something with sport if you really need it.

That doesn’t make sense to me. Sport mode makes the same changes as Baja but leaves it 2H without locker. Tightens steering and increases shift points for the transmission for a more lively feel. I wonder what would be different..

That was much more controlled than my Ranger Tremor would be. The Ranger Tremor is about the same price with a nice Fox 2.0 setup, so it’s no slouch. Still, the Badlands made it look very controlled.

It’s not past the break in, I didn’t completely put the coals to it and it’s about 500 miles now. No sustained hard throttle. The hill was definitely a bit bigger than Initially thought! The cooling fan did click on briefly at the top of the hill.

4L front and rear lockers engaged.

2.3 or 2.7? If that is the 2.3, that was pretty solid.

2.7. 2.3 would have been completely good to go there. My son was following me through most of it with his Ranger 2.3 (it was to tight at the bottom for him to swing the turn and head up the hill).

It’s rained recently. Just al sand and it drains quickly.

BN couldn't have done it any better - even with a squatting cameraman and drone.

Well, at lest BN would have not shot the video in portrait view. Just saying.

Yes!! You are the 1st to do it dirty.

Some real world off road video. Normal explanation, the hill was way steeper than it looked. I am pretty impressed so far. I need to sort through modes and settings a bit more.

It's that vertical video that makes it look less steep.
