hi,
finally starting to figure out how to create movies out of my Sony, and to upload them onto youtube... :pepper: :BANANA: :pepper:

here are the links:

amazing how the KJ is jumping up and down, i had 2.5 Kg in my Duratrac and still the tires seems very soft and bouncing.
The good point is that i managed to climb-up all obstacles, except that big rock that i very smartly decided to place just under the lower arm... :jester:
i will definitely go higher with my next tires, surely 245/75 16 as i am Frankenlifted. and still with Duratrac as I still find they offer an amazing compromise between great off-road and excellent on-road behaviour.
let me know what you think.
cheers

I like those rims a lot... And tiny soap!

Niice rocky trail too, remember, slow and steady wins the race!

And that growl of the diesel is always nice.

Thanks for sharing.

No, no traction aids at all.
Frankly i must say i was amazed how easily the KJ climbed up these rocky trails. The vids don't show it well, but the trails were really steep, but the KJ went up very easily. The Duratracs are certainely contributing a lot.

I must gonna have to tell the wife that the vids are appreciated (she was behind the camera), maybe a new carrier for her. a new Spielberg is born! :D
