Man must be nice to have a truck like that and just blow it up.

OK, so I just finished the whole video and I really am not one to talk about people, especially if I don't know them personally. With that said sometimes I will make the exception and call it like I see it.


That guy was a ***censored*** idiot. What was he thinking? Trying to impress his friends? WOW....

Well I do have to say the driver was not the only one messing up out there. From what I saw the ONLY person who knew what they were doing was the buggy yota towards the end.

this is what happens when you mix beer, macho and stupidity. Lets go drink a 30 pack and blow up my truck, "Geterdone!"

So the point here is that this 4x4 should not have been taken in the mud? To heavy, to big, just not designed for this. I'd admit I might be this same stupid person, especially this was my first 4x4.

I used to take my 1983 truck in the mud. I guess I'm one of these dumb people, without the beer. What am I missing?

There were many dumb things at play in that video. First off that truck is way to heavy to be mudding with. Next you are never supposed to rock back and forth with the auto tranny behind that diesel. Next after you know your stuck quit spinning the damn tires, it aint doing no good. Next when someone is trying to pull you out, you dont just floor it and let the tires spin like crazy, you give it barely enough gas to spin the tires the least amount. Like I said the only one there who knew how to pull it out was that yota buggy. When he first got stuck they should have put the snatch strap on the rear bumper and Yanked him out.

Ahhh ok. Most of that I knew but the one thing that is new, is the rocking back and forth. Is it because of the torque of the diesel?

Well you really should't do it much with any transmission. But those auto's behind the ford powerstroke are notorious for burning up if you rock em.

That is right, there were a number of things there that fall short of rocket science. But the "dumbest" of all if I can use that work now is the drinking involved. That is just bad anytime you get behind the wheel on or off road.

I don't drink on or off road, so I come by my stupidity honestly!
