Perhaps, I just won't be happy until I get it really stuck?

So I seem to have a dream of using pick, shovel, mule, brute force and anything and everything to retrieve my baby, because I just cannot stop getting in mud. I just love the challenge of seeing if I can defeat nature! Today I won. Tomorrow I might not.

I used to live in Louisville with this truck. But since I've graduated from U of L , I'm back in New York... Yeah, I'll keep the videos coming. I originally did this at a much higer bit rate but it just didn't want to upload for anything! I think it is the connection.

The next one will be about 50-90mb I think that will be a nice comprise between clarity and time in uploading.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I just stuck a tripod on the floor of the truck and tried to drive as slowly and carefully as possible.

I still think it needs the air-lockers on all three axles and more hp. But yeah it is was blast getting it out the mud.

I should really reduce the tire pressure but I'm just too lazy to refill ten tires back up to 50psi manually when I want to take him out on the road. I mean that is alot of work. Hence the reason I want to retro-fit 395/85R20's on the truck with Centralized Tire Inflations System. I think that would really make the truck in addition to the airlockers a beast in the wilderness.

nice getting out.

 

[Chevytruck]

man that looks like so much fun!

 

[Rolling_Eudaimonia]

nice getting out.

I was worried that I might be assembling a series of vehicles to pull myself out. But I had some luck I was getting better grip on the left hand side of the pit as I was coming out so Hugged it and kept the RPM's up to maintain traction on the right side as much as possible until I got into something firmer... It worked.

man that looks like so much fun!

It was fun. So what sort of military vehicle are you looking to purchase?

I think my next one will be with less mud and more rock obstacles!

 

[Parker2]

I was pulling for ya! Was that the same mud hole over and over? I thought you had made one trip too many.

Yeah unfortunately it is the same mud pit over and over again. I need to get a new one to tame.

However, I think next video will do more with rocks. I have bunch of rock walls in various states of decay that make for fun obstacles to drive over.
