Nope, help yourself. Theres vid and pics of my truck scattered all over the place. It was kind of funny, I was browsing the web and checking out some die-hard chevy guy's 4x4 sight, and came across some vid of my truck in a bog. Who knew? The funny thing is you could hear the chevy guy say "thats one badass Ford!" Even the chevy guys have to acknowledge Ford supremecy

thats pretty sick pro, i just played that video clip with audio in my schools computer lab like 3x, lol, nothing beats the sound of a big motor runnin pretty fast. i gotta say though, was that run as hard as it looked? for some reason it looked pretty difficult. it was pretty cool seein the fans kick on at the tail end of the clip.

Yes, yes it was. On my next run through there after it got chewed up some more I ended up buried up to my bumpers. I'm sure glad Ivan was there to jump out and hook up the ****** strap

Nice to finally see some footage of the beast, I guess the lens cap was removed this time? Not that anyone doubted the punisher trucks abilities, it looks SOOOOO cool going through the pit. Sweet. Makes me want to push away from the keyboard and go finish my Bronco.

yea, im definately envious, i wish my truck were done. school and work really take away my motivation to do anything else. i think i had more motivation when i participated in other antimotivational and brain cell destroying activities. i wasnt trying to knock on you earlier, just sayin it looked like you were pushin pretty hard to slide through the stuff.

Heck no, I didn't think you were knocking on me. What you can't tell from the video is that the tank trap runs uphill. Makes for a very tough push with the berms and ruts when your trying to do it uphill like that.


The Northwest chapter can beat the shiznit out of your chapter!

ahhh, i see now. from the clip it just looks like you could have some pretty good momentum and slide on through so long as you kept the tires rolling. i will say that having all that motor blairing in one of the schools computer labs definately got me a few looks. i think im gonna hafta get all my boys to come up to your place and put the jump on you since you think your chapters so great. gotta do the shiznit beating up to date with the times. gotta get all my boys to go after your crew one at a time. lol
