A Proper Break in... On the mountain!

[SnowBronco]

Made it up the mountain yesterday!! Had "Drax" for a week now, have about 399 miles on him and we figured what's a better way to vary speeds and loads to break him in than to go to the mountain?! Only had one issue. I mean besides my driving and getting used 4low and Crawl gear ... Hill assist on the way down worked great. But it overheated my parking brake. So I couldn't use that for about an hr... Lol. Anyhow here's some footage!

Wheels look good!

So it appears the tail lights scratched up easily... am I seeing it correctly?

How long did hill decent control last until over heating?

Cool! Thanks for posting so we can live vicariously!

I am surprised you didn’t overheat your cameraman making him walk up the mountain filming! How is he doing after the break-in?

They actually weren't that bad... I ran a finger over some of the "scratches" and they weren't very noticeable. Pretty sure a quick little hand polish with something light would look after all of that. On the paint too.
The hill assist worked the whole time I had it on. I had on for way longer than I probably should have if I'm being honest. Haha. I didn't need it for most sections coming down the mountain but I left it on. After an hr or so it cleared and my parking brake worked again.

He started squeaking and leaking a bit. But let's be honest. He needed the crawl. If he didn't want to have to walk up he shoulda bought one lol
