Well it was a little touch and go at first. I got hung up on a dandelion and thought I was going to have to winch it, but then it powered through.
The increased suspension travel is good for height but is a little firm. It's almost as if the axles are bolted directly to the frame. The new TTV6 is quiet. I couldn't even hear it running. There where a couple bare patches and I tried out the Baja Mode. Whoa mamma. This thing get sketchy at high speed on the ruff stuff. I rolled it a couple times and not even a ding. This new aluminum body is strong.

:crazy:
Laughing so hard my eyes are watering. Co-workers are going to think I'm crying...

Tried out rock crawl mode, weather mode, mud/sand mode, and got some air in baja mode. It got pretty muddy, so I hit it with the foam cannon.

You sir, are my hero!!!


Lets face it, with all the frustration people are feeling with the slow rollout process, humor like this is a much needed change of pace.
