- It’s time to see if Louis ViTen can tackle the Ultimate Adventure 2023. I built this 2008 ford f-250 Super Duty with a handful of friends. Time to head to her East Coast and see if it can take on the trails of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky

Your red truck sticks out so much, because you kept it looking like a truck instead of a rock crawler. Love it.
Thanks. Got to love using the wrong tool for the job
@@thedirtheadshedbrute force and ignorance will usually overcome that!
Could use a work flat rack in place of the truck box and have a look but solve many problems
Let’s just talk about how Dave just rapped like a freaking boss
That one was pretty solid
Super nice build! BUT Mom's spaghetti will always be cooler. Great vid, thanks Dave!
Agreed

I'm just now realizing how big the v10 Ford actually is when you get it on a jeep size trail holy moly it's huge !
Yeah. It’s kinda ridiculous
Welcome to PA! We don't have much but, we do have rocks.
Indeed you do
Love how everyone shits on the ford v10 engine and the ford superduty gassers in genral but now one of the best off road builders builds a truck in a hurry and changes people perspective real quickk!! Im glad someone is really sheding light on these great trucks
They definitely get overshadowed by the diesel. Unfortunately
Louis out there proving that the "bigger hammer" strategy is completely valid.
It’s definitely a good option
There's something about squeezing a full size truck down Jeep trails, it's glorious.
It’s fun to make it happen
So glad to see Clifford the big red V10 in action! Don't very often get in-cab POVs on UA so that's interesting to see.
It’s fun putting these videos together. But it’s hard to remember to film on the fly
@@thedirtheadshed Totally get it! Keep doing what you're doing. 💝
That long wheelbase didn't seem to hurt that much, can't wait to see this rig tackle the tough stuff. Thanks Dave.
It’s not a bad thing !
Honestly the production crew and all the cameras is kind of taking away from the fun off ultimate adventure. Not so cool anymore 😒
Things I learned wheeling a full-size rig for years:
No matter what line you pick the truck is just gonna go where gravity takes it.
People generally look at you like you’re insane when you put a full-size truck on Jeep size trails and obstacles.
Momentum is you’re friend.
Drivetrain beef is a major priority.
It’s a dang good time!
All those are accurate!
That ford is gettin it done…great stuff as always Dave 👍🏻
It works pretty well!
Arrrgh! You guys started in Greensburg! That's like 10 minutes from me! I wish I could have come to check it out! Truck came out good!
What a cool area!
@@thedirtheadshed Those rock /boulder formations are super common in this area. I've been trying to make it out to where you guys were. Now I really need to get out there!
Also, I never really considered a trailing arm set up for rocks, but there was a few times it looked like they were acting at rock sliders and helping that tire up onto obstacles Looked like it did a good job protecting the driveshaft too!
What a fantastic job on the V10 250!
Thanks!
13:08 “my granola bars 😢😢😢😢” 😂😂
Sacrifices
Honestly your red ford single cab in the neatest thing to see out there. Mainly because if you see one on the trails normally you know its just some kids about to break the work truck. (Probably me back in the day)
It’s totally true
Raddest rock rangling red rig ever
Thanks!
Thanks for undoubtedly proving why i dont own fords.
Glad you had fun anyway.
What did the ford do wrong??
Rig works really well for its size! Love the video keep them up!! Great content.
Glad you’re liking the videos
Nice job. Truck works well.
That rig is super solid..cant wait ti see how it fares over time..im saying its gonna prove to be stout
It should be good. I imagine this trip was the hardest stuff it’ll face
Wow that looked really like a lots of fun
I should really come check this awesome place out.
Great trails there
Truck looks like it’s puttin in work! Nice:-). Dave you are my spirit animal.
Thanks! It was working for it
Well done! It looks like it's a lot of fun to wheel. I've always been partial to big full-size stuff. I can't wait to see the rest of UA!!!
I hope to take this wheeling a bunch over the next year
If you're on the East Coast anywhere this summer, maybe I'll run into you. I plan to do Badlands and Wind Rock this year if all comes together.
this is the best footage of UA that ive ever seen. keep doing what youre doing dave, we love to see it
I appreciate that. It’s fun capturing bits and pieces of the trip
Hilarious that your truck kind of just looks like a run of the mill mall crawler but was actually crushing it off road. Really good driving by you as well. It was super fun to see this build and then you took it out right away to use it.
I knocked the new right off of it
Good times Offroad in the full size FORD'S. Well done to all the drivers
It was a good group this year
I love the Chris King headset reference. That’s a deep cut from the B-sides.
A staple in the bicycle world
I love the Real Truck part. Lol
One more thing for me to agitate my Denali driving friend. Hahaha
Hey. A Denali could be cool…. With a solid axle swap
the inspection was the best part
Always a good time
Day 1 it killed it! Always enjoy seeing Fullsize rigs on UA, can’t wait to see some more videos coming out of you wheeling it!
Thanks. It is a good rig. Will be fun to fine tune it
Guess I didn't finish it. But the pos s-10 won onyx over the 80? There are too many rookies that don't know what wheeling is about. Glad to see you still there dave.
Colt and the s10 did great on the onX challenge as well as UA. He’s a great driver
Great video great point of view looks like it performed well. thanks for sharing. I was amazed by your walk through the parking lot of the hotel, it looked like everybody was working on their rigs.
Oh yeah. It’s a game of survival to wheel hard and show up every day
That thing is so sick.
Thanks!
Killing it Dave! Thanks for the content!
Thanks for the support
Big ol ford is killin the game !!!
It does pretty dang well
go get it, Dave! ...love what you do!
Thanks! Getting it
I loved the "dropping bars" part and Moms Spaghetti reference. Hilarious. Big Ford doing well. That first trail was tough. Gonna be fun following the Adventure this year. Louie gettin it done
Cheers. I was having a good time
Thanks Dave, love this truck!
Thanks for watching!
I got to see you guys at Rock Run when we were out with my buddies for a bachelor party. I was in an old red Teryx waving at everyone. Seeing all you guys was a lifelong dream come true!
That is awesome. What a great place to party with your friends
Love the videos. Keep them coming.
I’ve got em stacked up
Excellent@@thedirtheadshed
Hell yeah brother!
Cheers
Looking fwd to the rest of this trip.. Great build soo far..
Thanks. I need to start cutting together the rest of it
Loved the build series now seeing it in action! Looks like it performs as good as it looks, nice work!
Thank you. It’s pretty darn good
Just awesome 😎 truck came out great .. crawls real well 👌🏻
Thank you
Can't wait for more!
Hopefully I can piece together another good episode
Awesome job on Louis can't wait to see what the rest of the week held for you.
Thanks, it’s a fun rig
You were in my neck of the woods! That’s amazing! How you had a nice drive through Greensburg!
Such a cool area
The hole truck look's great, having said that the cage is so good. You really got it perfect. It blends in so well it almost disappears. Full size fun. 🤟😎
Thanks! I am stoked on the cage too. Especially that it’s almost unnoticeable from the outside
Awesome!!
Thanks
Just a cool dude driving a cool truck doing cool shit.
I appreciate that
That truck is sick!! All those trucks are amazing!!
It’s always a cool group to run with
Watching this video locked down in Maine. Nice do have something to keep my mind off of the mass shooting and man hunt going down around me. Thanks for being here for us. Hard explaining to my 13 year old daughter why this happened.
That is wild. I just looked it up. Stay safe!
Truck looks good man!
Thank you!
Everyone sure seems to like the milestars! Is it a affordability thing, sponsorship thing or are they just a kick ass tire?!?
I think it’s a good tire for the money. I was surprised how well they did on the wet East coast rocks
I think they hand out a lot of free tires to the popular influencers. Good marketing because they are seen on lots of famous rigs
Another great video!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I’m glad I got enough footage to make this one flow
Love the 'behind the scenes' action in your video, Dave! Can't wait for the next installment, especially since it's at one of my favorite spots, Good Evening Ranch!
Ooh yeah. That place is gnarly
Great video for the first day. Can’t wait for more. Thought that long bed may have hurt you on these trails. Let’s see what is to come!!
Yeah. It’s not the most convenient, but it gets it done
Love watching guys smash full-size rigs on tight trails. You guys were in my area too. 🤙🏻
It was a good time for sure
Love the wheelin content! U.A. is a dream of mine.
Got to apply!
Awesome! I really want to do ultimate adventure one day too. Such fun.
It’s a good week for sure
I’ve been a UA follower since the beginning years w/ DVD copies as proof. So glad that you guys are keeping on keep’n it going with great content & awesome rigs. 🔧🙌🏽
I appreciate that! It’s been a great event for a long time now
Man that thing works great! That rear suspension is really great man. Awesome job. I look forward to seeing the rest of this! My home state definitely has some rock and mud! Awesome vid.
Thanks! It was a good time all around
Wow that was way more capable than I was expecting. Goes to show how well you can build+drive
Thanks! It is a good working rig. I dig
Dave, that truck is really cool. I’m excited to see how it does over the course of UA.
Thank you
Nice work Dave, your rigs working real good.
Thank you
Dude!!! Monster truck is looking great!!!✌️
Thanks! It’s a big one
Knockin the clean off the V10. Fun! Thanks
Smashed it right off of there
Loved seeing your first stop be Callie's Campground. Thats my home away from home
That’s a cool place to stay
Best channel intro anywhere!!
Thanks! I still dig it too
Awesome content! I didn’t think the off roading would be nearly as good as the fabrication, but it was. You’re just as good a wheelman as you are a builder!
Glad you’re digging all the variety
Ball busting with the techs! 😂
Keep em on their toes
So badass! LV is handling it like the catwalk in Milan
…through the magic of editing
I'm really diggin this truck. And I loved the rap! That park is only about 3-1/2 hours from me. Might have to check it out.
That park is well worth the drive
That truck kicks butt Dave
Thank you
Awesome Dave! Thing looked like it had some droop in the rear end!
It flexes pretty well
Rad truck Dave!
Thank you
Well, yesterday I finished the last build vid, commented to not to scratch it and low and behold you drop a vid and...not bad!!! The more i see your rig at work the more i dig it!! Awesome looking and crawling like a champ! Thanks Dave for another great vid!! Love yer truck!
It did surprisingly well, but it gets banged up by the end of the week
@@thedirtheadshed Can't wait to check it out!
Starting off right....iv never wheeled a fullsize before either bet its comfy... watching that rear suspension setup doing work!
It is comfy. Kinda difficult not trashing it on the tight trails
Gotta keep "Howl" as your intro! Keep doing what you do! I'm putting air bags on a 99 Dodge 1500, finding. Ford 9" for the back, license plate floorboards, and a Pink Bigfoot air freshener. It smells awful but...👍
Sounds like a cool project!
Eventually...lol... Keep it up Dave!
I was just at Callie's campground this weekend for Overland the Red. Cool campground and awesome area.
It is a neat place. Looks like a blast to camp there
Great job
Thank you
nice to see behind the scenes
That’s the most fun
I was watching this video thinking "man that Hampton Inn looked familiar". you were like 5 min away. wish I wouldve known I wouldve driven over there. love the channel Dave, and love Ultimate Adventure. Keep upthe great videos
Sorry we missed ya. Thanks for watching
Always been impressed by your builds Dave I have followed you since you and Fred did dirt everyday . Motor trend needs to bring that show back .
Thanks for all the support
Like thirty dudes working on cool 4x4’s simultaneously in a hotel parking lot is pretty neat to see
It is a pretty fun scene
'Not the guy who makes BMX Headsets...' You get cooler all the time, Dave.
Glad you caught it
Awesomeness
Thanks for watching
Truck looks like it did great! That orange Dakota is sweet! I've always thought those Dakotas would be a great platform. Factory V8, comfortable interiors, compact, unique, and great styling (my opinion).
They are really a great platform
Nice Truck!!
Thanks! It’s pretty fun
Man I love seeing UA stuff. Hoping by 2030 I’ll have a rig rad enough to get an invite
Get after it!
Man I got say high in west virgina! I wanted get you sign my Jeep but you all was on a mission! Damn one day I pray go on ultimate adventure life time goal ! 😊
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to. It definitely is a hurry up and wait kind of trip
As a Kentuckian, we’d love to have you live here. It’s a diverse state, with 6 different regions. There is a lot to see here.
It is a rad place
Callie’s campground is a great little campground in the middle of awesome country
It sure is
Been following this event since day one when i was a kid reading magazines 😊
Nice! Hope you’re still enjoying it
Love seeing the full-size trucks doing Jeep things. Looks like Louis ViTen is Gucci.
Haha. It’s pretty rad
GOOD JOB DAVE
Thanks !
That looks so cool man
Thank you
Chris King... love that you know of the CK bike parts, but they're not just into BMX
I have a Chris king headset on a mountain bike
This video of National Guard Manuevers is fascinating; just waiting for the gun-mounted Uni-Mog, and the M1A1 Abrams! Getting sensible, if that IH does not put a smile on viewers faces, than don't know what! No pets allowed in Hotel; but knocking Tie-Rods off @ 23:00 hrs, no problem.
We are into hotel parking lot shenanigans
@@thedirtheadshed Good stuff and courageous choice, w/ Big-Cliff; hope your rear-end is worry free for the duration, could see frustration in your eyes. Thanks for taking us along!
That’s a cute little red ford.
Thanks!
