Seriously someone should tell him to get his road queen back on some pavement before someone gets hurt!
Pathetic, then after I "skipped to 5:00 to see it conquer the hill" I was thoroughly disappointed by the 50 foot run up to the hill LMAO

So the guy just floors it and bounces around hoping to get traction?

Actually, going up a steep hill climb on dirt the consistency of fine sand is really difficult for heavy trucks. Honestly, they don't belong there. Just like the beach. Lockers wouldn't have helped that guy a but.

Pretty good for a Super Duty, but an F150 would have walked up that hill.

1) Yes!

B) It's called the "Showtime Buggy." He's putting on a show. If he were treating these hills as a competition he wouldn't attack a lot of them the way he does. Then again, flooring it is the only way to get up some of these hills.

3) If you have a rig more capable, I'd love to see it.

Oh and...

D) It's 700HP of American awesomeness with independent front and rear hydraulic steering, 14 bolt axles and detroit lockers. I thought some of you might want to know.

Here's a pretty good little write up on it:
