i agree with dan.......for once. Looks good now, but once you put her in the air 20 more feet and tractor tires, I will have to give you a thumbs down.

But you already did.


BTW when it DOES go higher, it will look something like this.











Incase your wondering why, this is the kind of mud we have down here, and this is why we build our trucks the way we do. Hate it or not.

Why all the hate for "florida" trucks?

Lower lifted trucks dont work here, there's too much water.
Hydrolocking sucks...ask me how i know.

Every rig has its purpose. Trucks on stilts work good in deep water, bad on side hills. Lol

why all the hate? because youtube has made it pretty apparent to the rest of the u.s. that florida trucks don't wheel in mud. if you can idle through it with no wheelspeed, it ain't that f.ing hard. some of the trucks are pretty cool, but if you want to tell me that the bronco a few posts back serves any purpose, your a damn dirty liar. run a snorkle and find a better place to wheel that isn't completely submerged by 4 ft of water.

Yep. Just idleing through holes.
And BTW, this hole had the water pumped out of it for a good hour or two. This is what is underneath the 3 feet of water your talking about.

ok, so they aren't idling through the holes, they are hitting 6k and still only managing to hit the wheelspeed of something that is idling. :flipoff: maybe if they ran a tire that was a little more manageable of a size on trucks that didn't weigh 10k lbs or more, they would be able to get some wheelspeed and momentum. i will admit that you ,nick, showed some real mud, which i have never seen in a florida truck video. but you yourself said this

if you can run it in 2x, what's the challenge in that?
