I wonder how many dentside 4x4 owners will try this same stunt now that you posted this video
This seems to be a built truck. But we all think are rides can do the same or better.
With that being said, I've put my ride (760 F250 4x4 posi front & back) thru some things that would make some cringe. The last one by pulling my brothers stuck (cheby) ride out of a wet valley that thawed while he was deer hunting in OH. No help was available in that desolate part of the country for hunded's and hundred's of.....yards..
I got him over the top and on a dirt road, mud thrown everywhere, but blew my motor in the process
I sure showed him what a old ford can do
PS He coulda paid a farmer $20.00 to pull him out with his tractor who was located just down the road, But I'm a member of FTE, I cant have that.

I bet my old truck Earthquake could do some of that. (that's where I got my name, by the way. People started to call me by my trucks name over the CB)
Maybe someday I'll build Earthquake III and come out to go wheelin' with ya'. (Earthquake I was 10" lift with 40's, Earthquake II was 17" lift with 44's, Earthquake III, ....?)
Great video by the way. It made me miss breakin' my truck on the weekends.

Yeah this truck is strickly for wheeling so she is built pretty stout. I still can't believe it climbs alot of the stuff that it does.
YouTube - Jeep roll Pinball Hill Hogans Off Road Disney Oklahoma
That last hill called pinball is ridiculously steep. The video doesn't do it justice. The trees on the way up have about 5 colors of paint on them from rigs rolling into them. An unfortunate event in the past required a life flight from a rig that rolled down that hill.
If I build another motor I probably won't get to nasty. It has power to pull me up about everything as far as rocks and hill climbs goes. Its a dog in the mud but I don't mud it much. I like the 2 barrell carb, it will run upside down damn near.
And don't worry, I don't beat the hell out of every dentside I have HAHA.

Well if it never see's the mud then you can accomplish everything with gears. Nice 76' there!
Also, I know this is a stupid question, what's an H1 and why was it recentered. For the life of me I can't think what H1 stands for!

H1 is for first generation hummer. The wheels are from a military hummer. The centers are cut out of them and new ones are welded in at a new back space. The wheels are double bead locks but most ppl can't use them beause the have a ridiculous backspace (like 7"). Recentering them takes care of this.
