Don't be fooled by this old thing.  I have pulled Jeeps out of holes with it.  It even has decent articulation.  Deep water is fine, but water comes into the cabin everywhere.  The thing is crazy loud on the highway and max speed is 110km/h but that would likely cause engine damage if prolonged.
Broke my front yoke on a hill climb in Finger Lakes last summer.  Got a beefier one in there now, plus some more slip capability.  It over articulated and didn't have enough overlap on the splines.  Never made the hill. 
 It was still fun!

Mods

Mild lift, custom frame, electronic ignition and fuel delivery. I'm on my second engine. Kinda blew up the first one :) I have two spare engines and transmissions, so I should be good for some more stupidity.

Build story

COVID project that turned into an obsession.
