Not a fan of being ran into by other people tho lol.

yea me neither that bummed me out cuz i was still trying to sale the bed too.haha
and exactly true on the horses for courses. i wouldn't try a 300 ft. mud bog with it.

 

wild trucks is the name of the pole, not wild uses. And ya, I've got no problem beating my truck off road, it's also a short and long haul tow rig. 6000-12k+ loads usually. Heck, I've taken trails as crazy as that track just to recover a classic car

 

would you try to haul a 10500 lb load like this 7700 miles round trip?

cause i would without question. hell, throw a car on the back and make it a good load. just cause some of those guys respect their trucks/daily drivers enough to not beat the snot outta them doesnt make yours better then anyone elses.

 

Wow.. I've really got to learn how to infer humor through a keyboard... i think the *lol* thing is over used but perhaps i should place it there. and as far as would i pull a load like that yes, as long as the tires would turn why not, wasnt scared for the last 40 yrs of my life aint gonna get scared now.
it was a statement to maybe try and garner some votes or maybe have some one say yea thats wild i'll vote for him. i dont have 300o friends that will just click ok cuz they know me, it was not meant as an insult. it was attempted humor but a keyboard has no personality like the person that is using it.

 

hard when theres no inflection in typed words. but putting other guys down for their trucks to get votes for your own. and ive gotten 20 or so votes from my forum, the rest are from random people wondering in. why not throw up a posting in the forum you spend your time in directing people here. if they like you, or your truck more the others then they will vote for you. heck, if my truck wasnt in it, my vote would have gone for the yellow truck or the bronco.

 

I don't vote for my truck, I think that's unfair. I voted for the Aussie, he's my buddy.

 

wasnt putting anyone "down". didnt call anyone trailer queens or nothing of the sort. if i coulda done a video i prolly would threw in some billy bob teeth and kinda put out the old used car salesman vibe. lol
i think all ther trucks are pretty cool personally and there's not one i wouldnt want in my driveway. we differ on opion as to what constitutes a wild truck and initially it was called Wild and Crazy trucks not just wild trucks. to me racing a stock truck on a course like that constitues crazy more than wild. if it had been just wild trucks i would not have done it because nothing is wild about my truck.
me ya i like all the work done to the bronco also and how much you did all the mix and match stuff that really turned out good on your truck but for me yep the yellow truck is top shelf looks great and is an impressive machine all the way through.

 

 

Thanks.
The thing i love about these contests is every thing is so different.
I give my truck a hard time but when i look at what you guys do to your trucks, i think not a hope in hell of me doing that.
As i said, horses for courses, and my course ain't a muddy one, or a wet one, or with a big a$$ trailer either for that matter.

 

Wild is wild, my friends!

It means many things to many different people...


Personally, what is wild if not a sixty to ZERO "SPLASHDOWN"????



~Ya gotta think about that...

 

lol, just noticed 3 of the people have racing in their names.

 

Go figure -

How many have racing in their blood?

 

Not many. My dad drove, and raced and collected and owned about 11 British Motorcycles through the late '70s and early '80s. He used to race his buddy's all the time.
We just went out and washed and vacuumed out the '76 F-350. Found all kinds of tools and stuff like that!









While on our way, look what I saw.











Made this video too.
