Here is the second video of the day. First off the ENORMOUS guy driving Dave’s Max was one of the quad guys we were playing in that bad mudhole with. I came up to his nipples…he made his Honda with 7” lift and 31’s look like a normal size quad. I called him Grape Ape (in my head), really cool guy, showed us around the park and just wanted to play. Like all superheroes, he had a sidekick who carried the beer on his quad. The funny thing was, when he stuck Dave’s Max he got out and basically lifted one side by himself…easily. When he sticks his quad, I quit filming because I helped tow him out.
There is a part in this video where Dave has a hard time in a really nasty mud pit…there is another big quad that went through this really easy. That was the ONLY time that happened. My thinking is that he entered where Dave exited….his momentum carried him past all of the pushed up mud, and he had ITP Mudlites, which seem to do really well in the muck.
I did not get on film the last part of the day..we went to a mud pit that the trucks use as a “Crazy 8” track. Everybody got stuck and we were doing vehicle recovery. The Grape Ape’s quad got so stuck it took Dave and Noel at the same time to pull him out! Mudbug got out in the middle of this crazy circle 8 track, but through perserverance, rocking and pushing the Max he made it out without assistance…..really good amphib marketing. Overall, these guys were really nice and complimentary about the 6x6’s capability.
Oh yeah, we saw tons of chicks in bikinis.
