Stock IFS with all four in the air.

Nothing too extreme, about 6-8inches off the ground. It was nice and sandy so the landing was pretty soft. The first jump wasn't filmed (They never are) and I was told that it was the best. This one was close.

This was also my first time getting stuck in the mud. It was semi-intentional. I knew I probably wouldn't make it, but I figured I'd try any way.








And the best part. The lady at the gas station first asking for directions to Las Vegas. Yes, as in the hole in the desert with casinos. Then she asked me if I could give her a ride there. It was weird...

So the doughnut was with 4wd. What can I say...

The mud was probably under water last week, so it's fresh.

DNuts work best in 2wd with a locked rear end and high RPMs to keep the tires spinning. i put mine in 4L, select 2 on my auto tranny, and leave the hubs unlocked......it gets it

The landing? No idea. Maybe the IFS stretching out. I dunno.

During the doughnut? Some one yelling.

Using reverse to recover a vehicle is a very bad idea. It's really easy to destroy a front diff that way.. Cool pics though.

Nice pics... Nasty mud.

Wasn't my truck. As long as he got me out, that's all I really cared about.

My 31's don't do so well in the uber deep. Especially when I'm riding the skid as soon as I get in.

That's why I only did it a couple times. Your pic is killer. I like it.

You didn't care what happened to his truck as long as you got out?

Are you kidding?

This kid has beat, destroyed and re-welded it enough times that if something broke, it would be of no surprise to me.

Sure, I didn't want him to break, but I was indifferent to the idea.
