Thanks man.The terrain is more steep than you see in the video.In that particular sector , i need to build up some momentum since i cannot afford to get stuck.And it is soo steep in some sectors that with 8 guys,even in 4L-1st gear the jeep won't move.And while you are going over edges,some speed is required to avoid slipping, and if you slip that's it,most of the drops are more than 500ft.(-1000ft).:).Also revving will scare away any wild animals blocking our way.lol:.Watch MM540 making roads in the pine forest.

HI jack33
I have observed your rear leaf springs have sagged or was it you were carrying load. Also they seem to have become soft as the vehicle in the first part of video was rocking one side to another. Have u installed an A/c in your jeep?

You are right Vinod, i was carrying full load and also it's time to add more leaf to get the original height.There were instances of me carrying sand bags or my driver itself on the front bumber to avoid the front lifting.And no ac vinod,and not required in this part of the world!!
Pretty impressive stuff. I ran it again with the music turned off so I would not be unduly influenced by "Nights in White Satin" -Moody Blues. It was still impressive! You got to love the sound of those diesels, too. There is one going over a berm halfway thru the flick and taking it easily. Those old Mahindras give a lot of bang for the buck.
