Czech Truck Trials

I always recommend that people travel and enjoy it. People in different parts of the world face unique challenges and have their own way of thinking and problem solving. The result is that they come up with ways of making themselves happy that you haven’t even thought of. If you can learn from them and add their happiness to your own, you’ll be better for it. This even applies to gearheads like us. Check out this footage of some Czech truck trials competition. Their need to haul heavy cargo through wilderness areas has bred these diesel powered monsters. There’s 4×4’s, 6×6’s and even some 8×8’s. They look like they’d be at home hauling military cargo in a sci-fi movie. It’s awesome.

Crawl Magazine Reader’s Rides South 2012

Holley Performance put together this video documenting the Crawl Magazine Reader’s Rides South event that took place at the Wishbone Ranch in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Wishbone offered a little something for everybody from stock vehicles to the Unlimited class boys trying to be the first up the bounty hill. They also feature one of the regulars at the ranch who has an interesting buggy that has a front wheel drive drivetrain turned sideways in his buggy which allows him to have four wheel drive without a transfer case.

Top Truck Challenge 2012 Highlights

The Top Truck Challenge is an annual event put on by Four Wheeler magazine that pits some of the best machines and drivers on the planet against some of the gnarliest terrain you can imagine. It’s so crazy that Mickey Thompson makes a humongous 54 inch version of their Baja Claw tire named after the TTC. This year’s event was special because they invited the champions of previous years to come back and compete with each other. Most of this footage will make your jaw drop. To be on the safe side, I’m going to give these a **NSFW** warning for the couple of bad words from the cameraman running for his life. They’re not prominent or loud, but they are there.
