  • 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.

    @bogginbrandon 9 місяців тому +2

    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!
