Default Offroading Video...

Ya'll might recall the video that I posted a couple weeks ago of my Chevy and Dodge gasser buddies doing a tug-o-war in the street in front of my house?! Well, THIS weekend, my Chevy buddy wanted to go offroading with his 2x4...I was actually quite surprised, it did decent in some areas that I would think 4x4 would have just done the trick a little more sufficiently...anyway, it got down to a couple places where he just couldn't get that truck in 2 wheel drive and he was ready to call it quits and go home...but me, being the outstanding sportsman that I am, brought a tow strap and offered up my services so that he could continue the journey...here are the videos

Here is one where he tried to park the truck for a few so that he and his friend could ride with me to get me a good uphill video

Here is one where the terrain was too steep and rocky for 2x4 front view

Here is the same pull from the back from another camera...

REALLY good time! Enjoy ya'll...the Dodge really surprised me...might not look like a very steep or rocky terrain, but it's worse than it looks...I LOVE this truck!

So will my DMax. It pulls my 12k trailer just putting it in drive.
Server that knucklehead right for trying to offroad with a 1/2ton 2X4 gasser.

Some real tires and and locker 2wd gassers will go through a lot. I bet more then any 4wd diesel with street tires.

Cool vids. I see you have a VA tag. Where did you move from? I grew up in VA, only reason I asked.

I agree, I had a 2000 GMC 3500 crewcab longbed with a 454 and it was a 2wd and went anywhere I tried to go. Never got stuck with the BFG ATs. Even had it in 14" of snow with no weight in the back and no problems.
