in lil reds defence....i must say that watching that vid a couple times....the guy in the ford was not a great driver. he was on the trottle way too hard when he should have only spun his tires enough to clean tread....and tried to crawl up the last portion with no speed while flooring the trottle which is a no no,he should have gained speed on the intro to the hole.......all and all i think that truck could have made that mud hole easily with a halfway decent driver.........ive taken my explorer that isnt even lifted through holes that were thicker than that one, and i dont have the horse power to clean tread on tires that big, there is no reason that truck should not have made it through with a better driver.........Marc
this is very true. i am sure i could get that ruck through the mud hole. but i would love to see lilred down in the mud. i bet that thing will throw it 100 feet

Man yall are harsh. Believe me as soon as I get my camcorder figured out and my computer figured out, I'll make some video clips and get them posted. I'll also put some up of the couple of truck pulls I've been in.
ah, duh guys, that wasn't a diesel thats why it didn't make it... lol. I'm gonna have to film some fun in my black truck and post it. Their are 3 vids out there of me now, but not sure who has em, one of them is me and 2 other trucks stuck in a river.. that sucked.

It also appears that he has ground hawgs on it that didn't appear to be very meaty looking. While he sucked at driving it, he probably would have had a lot more luck with a set of swamper boggers....There isn't much those things won't handle!

I fudged it up when the snatch strap broke tryin to pull out the same truck from the front. No big deal. On the other muddin video you can see tape holding the window in that the four wheeler broke. But the window is fixed and the tailgate will be next week.
