Subaru rock climb video

Here's a video from last weekend out behind redbank plains. There's a play area just in from the brentwood estate entrance, The rock was steep enough that there was only one spot to approach it from that the bullbar wouldn't hit and stop me from even trying.

I wouldn't have even bothered attempting it on a carb'd engine as it was way too steep and a carby wouldn't get any fuel. with the EJ18 though it didn't miss a beat.

Listen for the Diff breaking during the second ( was actually fourth, but only recorded last 2 ) climb. At first I thought it was just a stubb-axel but the stubb is still attached but rotates freely, I'd guess I've broken something inside the diff, probably at one of the weld points.

Who was the guy doing the commentary and laughing?

hahaha that's a friend of mine glen, all our 4x4 videos have him laughing in the background, he tends to giggle/laugh a lot ... we don't even hear it anymore

He went from a MY to a patrol with front/rear lockers, crawler gears, 33" mongrels, etc ... so he likes to pay out on the subaru whenever he gets the chance.

I very occasionally take it to work, but more often than not it's in a state of disrepair
