Outdoing my buddys OME Lifted and Locked FJ on Chinaman Gulch

So my buddy with his OME lifted and locked FJ with arb bumper and winch decided to follow me up Chinaman Gulch here in CO. About almost half way through he had lost his rear left lower control arm along with some other damage. We did a trail fix that worked pretty good. Used a 1/2" break bar and ratchet strapped the axle to the truck.

We turned around and by the end of the trial he had two broken lower control arms, bent sway bar, sway bar links, quarter panel damage, exhaust damage and lost the rear right bumper cover.

Needless to say. After all said and done, I cleared all obstacles, open diff and zero trail damage. Here are some pics and videos of the trip.

Thanks for the compliment on driving. Lol. He knows I can drive. Lol. The one video going up waterfall he is directing me. I get up fine. When he goes he almost puts her on her side. Video don't give justice. Don't look as bad but other side both tires almost off. He got lucky. He has issues with the 5 speed. Love my auto!!!

I thought your boy was going to roll it going up the waterfall. He came really close.
Props getting up the waterfall, it can be a ***** without a locker. And if I remember correct the line you took wasn't the easiest line. I think the easiest line is the far right where you guys came down.

Wow, teach that man to drive! Does he have issues driving on the street? that was hard to watch.

He has issues with the 5 speed. Love my auto!!!

I was thinking that as well. That would be tough with a manual - lots of clutch slipping and that awful smell. Great driving BTW - impressive.

this is why dual cases is my next project. I feel the stock low range is way more limiting than my ifs

That was only time I had to throttle her. He throttled entire way.

Well he works at the biggest Nissan GTR and Mitsubishi performance shop in Rockey Mountain area. His other car is 700hp AWD Galant vr4. He don't know better.

Yes that is correct. Far left going up is scary. Middle is still fun.
