Upper Helldorado - last waterfall vid clips and (big) pics

[TDW]

Last week at EJS a couple of friends attempted the last waterfall in their trail rigs. Not the cleanest of runs that you have seen by the buggies but they both did make it up unassisted in near 4000 lbs. rigs with no water, strap, winch or humans. The Cruiser is Erik D_lux here on the board.

Must have been a research project "101 ways to roll a jeep"

Prop to the few that have made it unassisted. As I wait for the clips to d-load, I remember my buddy talking about how there is "NO WAY" to make it without a winch. Good job.
