Bootie's backyard fun! (Gratuitous Portal shots)

So after the Tractor Pull I wanted to see carnage and Sam decided to show us what his weak ass excuse for portals could do. :P I see so many broken portals compared to Toyotas that its not funny.

You can see him in the creek bed there and some nice foliage adding to natural feel of the pic.

the first pobstacle is a little tiny bridge. The tyres are 42" High, so you can see and the side of the bridge is vertical cement. The terrain in the creek is flowing water, silt and mud bog.

Nothing like a bit of urban wheeling. Only other rig to drive the bridge sideways is POS but that was a long time ago and the holes are a lot bigger. Ruff had a go once and fried his rear tail shaft - not sure if he made it or not.

I think he was lucky the portal box didn't blow apart, from what i have seen just recently on pirate there seems to be a lot busting them, in fact a lot of the guys are going back to hilux diffs! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :finger: :finger: :finger:

Give me your PORTALS and you can have mine :shock: :shock: :shock:

Yup - I think you will tear the pinion out of that rear diff of yours with your hydraulic tube tail shaft. :twisted:
