Pretty kewl lil video.... just think what that hole would have been like with some water in it! Round here all of ours have standing water in them. Couple that with the Haspin Acres clay and it makes for some tuff going!

Either way that 1st dip over the incline to commit is always a rush!!!

The driver weight is acting as a counter balance. If the driver was sitting on the opposite side of the car or the incline was the other way round your mass would be helping to tip the suzuki over.. the reason i asked about the 4wd drive was , if it was in 2wd the jeep would have stopped going forward as soon as a rear wheel lifted up , unless you've got  a rear locker fitted. I could'nt comment on auto boxes at extreme angles .Never driven one at that sort of tilt I'll leave that to you and it is still an excellent video ....... derkiow

I suspected you were thinking of the driver weight, but wondered if there was something else I hadn't realized, and that you could tell I didn't have a passenger!  The spare tire is offset to the passenger side & and I carry slightly more weight on that side (battery, tools & cooler) so its not an extreme difference but maybe enough!   I am not 100% convinced it is starving fluid instead of a result of change of torque or binding of the front.  It was strange.  I hope I don't conduct any further tests but if I do, hope its in a rut like that not on a hillside where it could roll.  I would still be digging out pieces of seat if that had been the case here!  Does have a rear locker, open front.

  Thanks, I've seen picks of Haspin.  It looks crazy & I'm sure its worse in person!

I like the goo 10X better than those rocks you were climbing..... at least the goo is a lill user friendly against the body / drivetrain.... 

Some great clips for shore..... thnxz for sharing them!

No I'm not a member but I do ride at the park pretty often. I can be up there in about 5 minutes... which is nice.

Good call, & may be correct... but around these here parts, we don't call em j(h)eeps, we call em ZUKES!!   "No, it's not a jeep."

Might be right on the trans losing pressure, though I've not had it happen either on any auto I've run. Can't say I've put my Tracker at that angle 'yet'. One thing to be aware of though, is too much trans fluid can result in the fluid frothing, which will cause more problems than it might solve... so be careful on that. Ditto on the cool vid.

Edit: after watching the vid again, I noticed when your drivers rear tire went air-born, you can hear a ratchet type sound... so I'm guessing you have a lockrite type locker in the rear. And... my guess is that its was in 'going around a corner' mode, which is what the ratchet sound was. maybe just characteristic of your locker, or maybe it needs to be shimmed or adjusted or new springs in locker...?

Naw, that's what happens when the one wheel keeps moving forward
it goes into ratcheting, this sound is pretty normal
