Finally did one of the hardest trails in Colorado!

[73bronco]

Finally four-wheeled Independence in Penrose Colorado. That is one hell-u-va trail!! Harder than I expected. Dropping in I watched a full tube buggy blow apart a 35 spline 60. That was when I started second guessing my decision to drop in! I still dropped in though. All was going well dropping in, took on a little body damage but not bad at all. Going up patriot(the hard side) I found a rock that I couldn't see and about flipped it backward on the Bronco Hut full tube bronco buggy!! You can see it in the pics with my left front tire about 6 and a half feet in the air! Then all was well until the A-hole(appropriately named!) Walking through nicely until a loud bang. Everyone said whoa rear driveshaft and front axle shaft!! Turns out it was a rear axle blowing up bad. Backing down from that I almost tipped it on its side due to control issues(i.e. no right rear axle). Long and the short of it I couldn't dig the axle out so I went on with only 3 wheel drive. Only had to winch the exit due to 3 wheel drive. Overall I am very happy with the bronco, the trail and the trip! Link to a video dropping in... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb61ABjHUDE

If you check the videos from the same user you can see the Sami I dropped in with.

And pics....
