I just got home from a tuff trucks competition with 4th place. 17 Trucks including 1970s Broncos and Trucks, All years of Chevys with a 1955 Chevy pushin 1200 Horse and had nitrous, as well as a couple of yotas and a Jeep. Had a Tug of war(i got 4th), a Drag Race with a controlled stop.(you had to stop with your front tires in a 2ft by 8ft square)(i got 8th), and a Oval Race with Jumps, (I got 5th). I ended up in 4th overall.

My truck was a stock 94 Ranger 4X4 4.0 5spd.:headbang:

Just thought id let you know and ill try to get pics up later!!!

Let me know if they dont work, In the video above both trucks were in 4HI and they were boggin down and dying, lesson learned, i was in 4LO the rest of the pulls.
I won that pull because my truck started faster.

(P.S.- My sound doesnt work on my computer so if there is any inappropriate language could a mod please remove the vid)
Thanks
