The Pilot did really well in Uwharrie! Everyone who saw it action was blown away at the obstacles that it overcame in 1 shot! I owe my success to several factors
1) My custom front skidplate mod held up great! I hit it really hard at least 10 times
2) I had enough clearance... Barely LOL (I am actually working on a lift that is over 2.5" )
3) My 32" "skinny" Yokohama Geolandar G003 MT 235-85-16s put on a traction clinic on the wet clay! I truly believe they where the perfect tire to cut through the clay and find traction.
4) Flex: With my rear swaybar disconnected (cut) I was able to pick lines that kept my wheels down most of the time. I was really surprised how little I felt my tires lift. I run with my front swaybar connected now due to axle wear.
5) I was able to keep my transmission temps low thanks to my dual external tans coolers and watching my temp gauge.
6) We learned really quick to scout the line and then spot carefully.
