I like that. I like the noise, the skill of the build and the big bo11ocks he must have to keep that wheelie going...

God i really need to build one of these truggies.It cant be that hard to build one.

So in the first vid....was the aim to get over the rock and climb the hill or just to wheelie over it.

Like it quite impressive mate. The first vid got loads of crap comments saying how crap a driver he was they didnt read the description lol they all thought it was a fat chick doing a wheelie the second vid just shows how much grunt those things have.

Impressive! How does the rear wheel steer work? It's not just opposite of the front. What I mean is...How is he steering the rear wheels.

Yeah, he could have just crawled over the rocks, but he wanted to see if he could wheelie over them instead, hence the many attempts to line it up right.

Something to do with the amount of lock you give the steering wheel I think.

It could be operated by a hydraulic ram,via a three way switch operated by the driver, incorporating a self centering device.(like they use on the monster trucks)

On the subject of rock crawling this is an awesome vid.Check out the vertical climb about 5 mins in.

Everyone needs to try Rockcrawling, its technical, slow and you will still break your truck easily, and amazingly satisfiying.

I actually couldn't be bothered to go offroading for about 2 years after spending 7 days on the Rubicon with friends.

There really is nothing like it in the UK.

If you're not interested in the Footie today, Google King of the Hammers, its actually Rock Crawling Racing, one of a few in the US. The guys who put us up and lent us a truck to do the 'Con ran a truck this year and had a great time.

Pics and info here if you're interested....
