There's more to come. He still has 2 rotating beacons to go. I think Ken was afraid of the dark when he was a wee child.

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a HEMTT in the mud!

Linking this stuff over from the TX Rally thread, thanks Mike! Overall the HEMTT was great on power, handling, and traction. A little rough of a ride on those potholes but what MV isn't, right? The only thing that stopped me from leveling everything was the fear of bottoming out the fuel tank on the crest of those hills and finding the limit of the vehicle..which was me. The loud banging in the video was the crane wiggling a little, I should tighten the cable down more next time.

Lock in that interaxle lock. That mud hole wouldn't even have been a hindrance that way!
Unfortunately it's either 8x8 or the interaxle lock and since I was bigger than the hole it didn't matter much either way, I'm sure I could have made it through with regular drive. I just needed a little momentum to flatten the opposing wall (literally a vertical wall) of the mud pit, which was mostly clay, with the front guard haha!
