This past weekend we had a local Ranger5G meetup here at Hungry Valley SVRA in Gorman, CA, which you can find a lot more information (and pictures/videos of) about here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/feb-22nd-hungry-valley-off-road-meet-up.6028/page-10
One of the obstacles was "The Wall" along the Pronghorn trail (one of the few black diamond difficulty trails for vehicles) that we visited as a group. If you're unfamiliar, to really understand the gravity of the wall, height, angle, and difficulty you can get a good idea here:
Well, I happened to be the only guy at the meetup with a nearly stock Ranger, no FX4 package, no lockers, stock height and tires. After much contemplation of whether or not I wanted to test this wall, I opted to go for it. There was a bit of drama, but GLaDOS did just fine once I got some momentum and hit a better line.
Thanks @Urabus for the video!
