On my first carrier, I put it up on the hoist and painted the underbelly in case someone got a photo of it climbing a ditch, or else in case I ran over someone who was nit-picky for that kind of thing.

Nice photos, thats just about enough to get me working back on mine.

Eeek. I thought I had driven mine hard. That puts it on an entierly different level or is it angle.

Nice pics John. Driven like they were made to. Also your smiles give it all away. Plus most pics show the rear fenders banged up a bit so its even more accurate.

Actualy I think I may have done somthing similiar but it wasn't with my carrier. 3 foot high berm at the high end of second gear. Really made a big bang but the blue sky looked really nice for a split second until I was up close and personal with the grass.

Brad,

Thought you might like to see that I don't just have a trailer queen. Put 10 miles on it last Saturday. Most of it going up and down mounds of dirt. I don't know how to post these on MLU, so help yourself. I did manage to mangle both rear fenders in my hill climbs. I could not believe what the carrier would do. I am very impressed. Had a blast.

John
As they say here in Texas, "Drive it like you stole it!"



CHIMO!

Yeah, Jordan, I was IN that carrier, remember...wasn't so good for us in the back. What, between my holding onto the Bren gun on the AA mount, and the poor kid in the rear who didn't know what he had coming, I'm suprised I didn't go flying. Forgot the cardinal rule, one hand for me, one hand for the carrier
