I did enter one of me pulling a stuck Jeep Rubicon up that same hill. I thought that was for a vid of actually USING your warn winch. Although my Tracker does have the big red W of Warn prominently featured right up the front  ;D

The Turbo Tracker does make it look easy, mostly because the 4.25 xfer case gears and front and rear lockers allow it to go slow and easy up just about anything. Driver is just along for the ride  :laugh:  The Rubicon tried to follow me up, lack of ground clearance stopped him dead. That'll teach that jeeper to follow a ZUK  :laugh:

The ability to go slow does make the climbs over rutted sections easier.  I did notice that you have a LOT of ground clearance too??  It is easier to do if you know how to drive your rig, lockers on both ends do improve your odds.
Your Zuk sounds as good as it looks too.  Nice vid.
Thanks BRD HNTR, it does sound good doesn't it. That's that elcheapo turbo muffler.  :laugh: The Rubicon had lockers in both ends too, but good ground clearance is a must. I think I've squeezed about as much ground clearance from the IFS as I safely can without breaking stuff regularly. The thing sure does surprise me with it's abilities even still. And yeah, ok, I'm not quite a newb at it anymore.

Yes, it is amazing where these things can go locked up. 
My turbo mufflers don't sound bad until I step on it, then the whole area knows.  I suspect that the Turbo might help with keeping your sounds muted?

Ya, Turbo mufflers were designed for turbocharged engines, low
back pressure and yes, the turbo knocks lots of sound out of the
exhaust tone, I ran for years with no muffler and it sounds like
a regular engine with a turbo muffler on it

Best thing about the muffler was it was CHEAP!  :laugh:  Now I gotta another issue to deal with, after only about 50k miles I got a valve guide seal starting to go, again. Just a wisp of smoke on startup, but I know it's gonna get worse eventually. I remember what a P I T A it was to do them before, I just may sell this thing before doing them again ! :laugh: I guess it would be a good time to pull and inspect the head after all the turbo use. I suppose. Or just let the damn thing smoke.  ::)

Just drive it, or keep the boost on, blows the oil back into the valve cover, LOL
