I have another thread with some photos of my first-ever run. I even linked one of my vids in it.

I got around to exporting the rest of the vids and uploading them to YouTube. Here is the whole boxed set.

Video 1 - Going up a face. It's about an 8-foot tall rise.

Video 2 - Showing off the JK's wheelbase. Its extended length really helped a ton on this run.

Video 3 - Going down a ledge. I think it's around 5 feet judging from the trail guide.

Video 4 - Yet another "up". I didn't think it was very difficult. You may hear my ARB kicking in at inopportune times. Several instances, I would hit the gas and it would kick in - killing the engine. There is a slight leak in the rear line which caused it to keep coming on all day. It eventually helped kill my battery (luckily, we were done with the run and I was almost back to camp).

Video 5 - One of the best examples of the long wheelbase of the JK I have. The clip of the second guy lasted at least 5 minutes. I sped it up 800% so you wouldn't get bored.

Video 6 - With all these "up" videos, we needed to eventually go "down", right? Yep. It was a pretty steep descent. The squeaking is from my brother's handgrip (a handle with a velcro strap around the rollcage).

 

Great videos...Especially liked video #3...How did the undercarriage fair, sounded like a hard drop...

 

I inspected everything after the run and I only got some scratches on the undercarriage. If you'll note in one of the videos, I'm missing the flare on the passenger rear side. I whacked a tree on a slippery part (it started raining). That was about a $20 fix to replace the flare clips.

The biggest damage I took was a dent next to the front antenna and a dead battery.

 

cool vids. i think you need to smile more though

 

great clips and great job!!! the only thing I would comment on is during the last video of the hill decent, we commonly practice not going up or down a hill untill the guy in front clears the top/bottom. can be dangerous if someone loses their brakes or you never know what may happen. always safer to be out of the way just in case!!

 

That's a good point and I'll keep that in mind. It was my first run, so I was just following orders by the trail guides.
