Amazing he didn't break something before he ended up on his side.

Whatever happened to "low-speed thrill ride"?

From the looks of it this was some sort of competition. Only way I'd do that in my Jeep is if it was absolutely nescessary, i.e. trying to get someone to medical attention.

This vid is old, not to ruin the fun. It is a competition. He's not going that fast, but he could definitely go slower. What's amazing is how he just glides over the bumps. His suspension hops over everything really easily in that video, probably why he never stops, until the end :roll:

That looked like it would be to much fun. And I can't believe how his rig looked like it could take more.

It's actually a Toyota Land Cruiser, but still the video is nuts.

Man is he lucky he had that gentle of a stop!

I've seen other Toyota's hop around like that. Sick amounts of travel in their suspensions and they take a beating. I always thought these looked like a long lost cousin of the KJ.

I watched the video thinking the same as you Nick...... Still not the best example to follow for any beginner's out there! It did look like fun though.

Someone said above ^ he's "not going that fast"....are you kidding??? That guy was blasting through there.....I'd never go that fast on a trail....built up like that or not because its way to easy to hurt someone else or yourself, or just plain old break your truck or....in his case tip it over.....not my idea of fun at all.....

Crazy video....I was like this ----> :shock:

the whole time watching it.

4 LO and SLO .... :wink:

Thats really a bad idea. Thats a good way to get an injured person killed.
Better to go slow and make it out to civilization than fast and crash halfway.

I think what you saw there was a timed race. Not much different than baja racing, WRC, Paris-Dakar, etc. Lots of fun to watch but definantly no need to go fast like that in the real world.

I'd say he was going fast for the terrain. Looked like tons of fun, but dangerous. That is definitely an amazing suspension system!
