We were having a good time on Helldarado until after the last hard obstacle before the waterfall.I rolled for some weird reason after the obstacle. My bro. then turned around to pull me over when he ripped his knuckle off busting it to pieces. He ended up breakin 3 shafts and a knuckle. My 44 came out unscathed this time. Other then having to go to Colorado to buy another 44axle, it was a good time.Oh and the Dmax is a turd compared to pullin with the 12 valve Cummins. Fuel mileage was way worse as well.Our butts didn't fall asleep though.

Looks like a great time! Have any more pics... of, say the damage? Where in CO did you go for the shaft?

Hey look! There's one of my old wheels and tires! How does he like them? Did you roll all the way from the right, onto your roof, and end up on the driver's side, or did you just tip over from the left? If you rolled from the right, I can totally understand how you did it. Did you make it up the waterfall without the winch? Looks like you gave it a try.

We got the axle out of delta,CO. My bro. loves the wheels and tires when they aren't broken off the axle like in the pic. Makes me wants some. They are so stickythat he sheared off one of his front shafts right before the yoke. When i rolled i had come off the teeter tooter rock facing the wall so i had to take the high road and was past where i had a better chance of rolling and my rear left fell in a hole the same time my right front hit a log and it flipped. I did try the waterfall without a winch but after that hop in the pic it threw me towards the crack and we still hadn't got my bro's rig fixed so i gave in and hooked up the winch.

Yup, they do have more than enough traction to break a 44. Before I sell the next set I'll have to warn people about that.

That is a beast of a harvester.
