I really hate what youtube does to video quality. :( There's a standard and high def button but both show uploaded and I don't know how to pick high def. 🤔

There won't be many of these if I can't figure it out because this isn't acceptable IMO.

When viewing the video, click the gear on the lower right corner and you can choose the playback quality. In this case 720p is the highest quality choice.

YAY, Thank You, Mr. Steve. I was about to abandon youtube, I was watching in 240. :oops: I record in 720 so that's where that limit is coming from, good enough for the 24" puter monitor I use. I should probably rethink that, someday I'll want to watch 'em on the TV and 720 will suck then.

The Colorado High Country - steepest and loosest starts at 8:28 but video makes it look flat. :(

I’m guessing those are old mining roads?
Looks like it would be much smoother off the road?

Yes, there are thousands of miles of mining roads here. Leaving tire tracks off the road could get you shot by the Ranger Snipers :oops: (J/K for those without a sense of humor), an absolute NO NO here. It's my understanding that most of Alaska is public land and you're allowed to go anywhere the machine can get to. With your population density, that isn't a problem but we have too many people in the lower 48 and everything gets torn to s*** without rules.

That's some vast and impressive landscape. 👍 And whoa, slow down cowboy, you hit 146 mph on that first K turn. :eek:

It really is stunning and unavailable to me until YOU talked me in to the Talon. The Sand Hollow Rally was a spectacular introduction to the hobby. :) #ridin' I was glad I was able to get out of the Talon to pee without passing out at 13,262 feet. :eek:

I was late fer lunch. 😎

It's werkin' onnit. Hope I'm not part of that pruning, being north of 70. :oops:

I ordered a new crossbar thingy to mount the S&B on, instead of using the Factory UTV spare bar, @aprils_fool found it.

Link or photo, what are you using now? 🤔 Spill, Dude, inquiring minds want to know.

Heres what I'm using to mount the S&B now, it's a Factory UTV spare carrier. I'll post a pic with the prefilter mounted when I get home. The new bar I ordered will mount higher on the ROPS, closer to the roof.
