may 7th

[--weezl--]

went out with a bunch of guys on may 7th, here's some video that i did not shoot (of my truck):

me trying to position for a near roll over to be, to the left of my truck


Same as above


me trying to recover the samurai without jerking it into the river, while i'm in a mud hole


same as above


me holding the back end from sliding, while the front gets winched up the hill, by the blue 4 runner directly behind me, through a pulley on a tree @ 90 degrees


me backing up, out of said mud hole, to recover a different 4 runner from hole in video below this one


me getting other 4 runner out of hole


my video of the 6.2L raptor (person who filmed above videos) stuck, i pulled him out right after, but i haven't seen a video of the recovery yet (or any of the other times i pulled him out) along with us playing in a large puddle, cleaning our frames

It looks like you were the official rescue ranger. haha

LOTS of mud haha first raptor I've seen off road, nice videos!

 

[--weezl--]

lol, hell yeah, i believe i was the only one who's vehicle didn't get stuck in an unavoidable area...

i did get stuck once, i dropped into a mud hole, drove through it, raptor got stuck behind me, so i backed through the mud hole hooked up, yanked him out, then when i went back into the hole, a tire sized hole in the ice at the bottom gave way, and my front right tire disappeared, with a foot tall ice shelf all the way around that tire, nothing's going to get out of that hole

"it's under warranty" was his logic, and where are you finding raptors for $40,000? they START at $53,700 up here and from what i saw, that was fully loaded, which runs $65,800 up here

 

[86 slo-vo]

exactly....i dont believe they warranty mud in every nook and cranny and stick scratches.

too much money, not enough sense.

in canada, off road vehicles are warrantied to failures off road, provided they weren't abused, as they were built to be used offroad, and there is no purpose to buy an offroad vehicle to drive only on the road

and a raptor wasnt made to stick in every mud hole you can find in one. they were made to fly through the desert.

obviously there is the point also that its not very smart to spend that much money on a vehicle and put it through that shit. might as well have taken that money and thrown it out the window. just the way i see things.

yeah he was using the driftHD camera, he was talking about how the sound sucks, but i didn't realize it was because there was no sound!

my gopro sounds way better, even in the waterproof case!

this is what he was using
