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 8 ай бұрын

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!

That says a lot about your skills and quality of choices for modification and execution, to me it does anyway. Great job and I hope to have a life like yours someday soon. Just waiting till I win the lottery haha. I'm actually having a shop install my new 4.7l stroker in my 2000xj coz me being mobile and living in an apartment I have nowhere to be able to do it without getting evicted and that's not worth the risk to my family.
