Lol. I believe I will just go around.

That’s actually one obstacle that the more accessories and bigger tires you have the harder it is. A stock machine it is low to the ground without a bunch of adding weight like stereos and lights would go over that hill easier.

I didn’t try this year because I drove around Todd and used my winch to get his vehicle back on its wheels. There have been previous attempts that I did not make it look so easy.

I went up the right side and if I’d carried just a little speed I think I could’ve made it but I tried creeping up, it started sliding to the left and well before I got to the @ToddACimer point of rolling over I asked for a winch line.

I don’t think a pioneer will creep or crawl that hill. A pioneer has to commit with a little speed and I’ve learned that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Good news is the Talon R made it easily.

I can confirm it will indeed NOT crawl that slab of rock.

I would agree, it looked a lot easier in the Talon with all 4 wheels spinning. I didn't have much luck breaking all 4 tires loose on the rocks at takeover. The downside of abundance of traction was definitely the ease of lifting the front tires

I had mine yesterday. The trailer came uncoupled while loading.

Good ole idiot mark. Lol i seen those marks for years before I figured out what they were from.. I've gotten lucky the 2 or 3 times my trailer pop up like that. It didn't lunge forward and hit my tailgate. 1 time I was loading a compact tractor in a dump trailer, on a hill and it lifted the rear truck wheels off the ground. That was a fun 3 or 4 second ride. Luckily no damage. Im always learning something. Lol

Broke a few parts this weekend...

Got stuck in muddy gravel, ended up with rocks between the calipers and wheels. Broke both front wheels, 2 calipers, 2 rotors, 2 caliper mounting brackets. Much to my surprise one of the rotors broke off the hub
