i dont mean to sound like a tosser or anything but most things that look redicuously hard are actually mega easy if you have a decent truck

I sort of agree. (How lame is that, I dont even have a full opinion)
What I did notice is that he had enough traction to sit still anywhere on the face. With that much traction I cant see what is so great. I reckon sliding down a gresey hill and having to drive to steer and slow down would be harder. A big hill at least.

I guess it's just a Sunday drive then. After watching it again I would say your heart beat would increase a bit for sure. That's hard rock & a steep angle but those little ledges make it gettable.

SORRY??????
Only one ya reckon!
Ask Jafa who was one of those who took him on his first rock crawling trip. (and it was a lame one at that)
You'd be amazed at what people will do with some "Kodak Courage"
What that Vid does show though is that with a higher number Anti squat number on your suspension you can't get on it while climbing. Each time he started to get some balls and give it a bit, the whole arse end starts bouncing about and threatens to endo you (and that isn't cool)

Feck that!
I wouldnt do it myself, but I could watch that shite all day. To run those sorts of angles would they run a dry sump of some sort? Wouldnt lubrication on that angle be an issue?
I somehow doubt he was just a joe shmoe off the street and he may have done that sort of thing at least once before.
You rock crawlers are mad! And I admire that in a 4wheeler.

I got the video off a site in the States that deals with the same kind of 4x4 as mine and one of the members posted a few clips of where they might be going next. The choice of the next get-together is a major problem for them because they are all over North America and have so much to pick from. Then there is the other problem of different States different laws, such as towing your 5th wheeler and your off roader on a trailer behind that. What's good for Utah is bad for California. Just see it as grass is greener and enjoy what we have here. That works for about 5 minutes.......if your lucky.

That gave me the sh!ts just watching it
You know that hills never look as steep as they really are on videos...
My vote is for 'Big Balls'
Only way I'd want to try that in my wagon is with SOA rear and SUA front

(oh yeah and a carb that would run on those angles).

Farken hell. I paused this video and got my phone that has a degree angle indicator on it. I measured a 65 degree angle this truck is attempting. WOW!
And only one rating? I just made it 2.
They would of done this track before to attempt this, surely.

I'd like to see a manual do it.

The other rating was mine & I made it a favorite clip. Some of those clips from the Hot Tube in Hells Revenge at Moab are pretty good too.
