Actually mine is a daily driver too but I still take it muddin. I've broken both front axles at different times and snapped the tranny yoke and front u-joint in half once too. Had to drive it home in 4wd on the fronts. I built the engine for muddin but I'm not opposed to sucking the headlights out of a rice burner if need be.

Re: You gotta drive it all out!!

I like it! Thanks for posting!

Should have a title like " Look how ridiculously tough chevy trucks are!" Or maybe "Bet you ford would have blown up!" or, "Chevy F'ing tough!"

Nice video Travis! Not something I would do in my truck, but defintely fun to watch. I especially liked the comment in the beginning. "Yeah I'm videoing it." I think they thought he was done in that first hole. Guess he got the last laugh.

Your welcome and actually the title read "balls out" but someone felt that was inappropriate I guess.

Thx for the clarification brother. I thought sucking out headlights was universal terminology in the Chevy world.

Actually the first time I watched the video, I was pretty sure he was done in the first hole too! That's why I brought it here. Dude freakin made it out.

Re: You gotta drive it all out!!

I can kinda understand the shock of some, but they've obviously never owned or driven a mudder. That's not abuse. Engines and trannies and driveshafts and axles can be rebuilt and I've busted all the above and more in a mudhole, except an engine. The thing about mudholes is someone else will always try it in his Dodge or Jeep or Ford and be danged if you want to let up and get stuck somewhere one of those guys drove through. Once you commit to a hill or hole, you have to flog the heck out of it and do your best to make it. You don't build one of these ($$$$) to have everyone tell you that you got stuck where they drove through, and the ribbing will be even worse if they pulled you out.

The 73-87 is a great mudder platform, and thanks to inherent rust problems in earlier models, it's an EXCELLENT mudder platform.

I gave it up because I couldn't afford parts anymore. But in a mudder crowd that ain't abuse, it's normal.

Now hold on a minute. The buzzkill came from the posts directly after mine. I wasn't even referring to you. However, I get the impression that you're accusing "me" of not posting in a "positive manner" is that right? Basically you're saying I had no right to be upset that people called the video I posted "F@#$@n STUPID"? You mean THEY were posting in a positive manner?

Yeah, I need to scoot on out of this bar and get back to people who think like I do. Get in where ya fit in right?

Furthermore, You dont think if you were that truck, You wouldn't as hyped as all get out once you made it out of those holes? If a truck could talk it would probably say, "Hell Ya! Did you guys see what i just did?!? Cause that sh!t was insane! I'd like to see you pansys do that! "

Hmm? Let me think, I was President of the largest 4wd club in Houston back in the early 80's. I'm pretty sure I have a good idea about what wheelin is.


Now, once again let me make my point clear to EVERYONE. Play nice, or get infractions....OK!

I'm not sure why you singled me out in this reprimand. You were not one of those who appeared shocked or otherwise appalled that someone out there does that to trucks that my post was directed at. My only point was that what was in the video is pretty common. I did not intend to stir the pot and if it was taken that way I apologize to everyone.

Big difference between driving smart and being an Idiot, that guy crossed the line. Abusing your vehicle is like masturbating in public, Just cause you can doesn't mean you should. He didn't tear anything up cause his ass got lucky.

I appologized i probally should of rephrased what i said. Pansys? Sure okay Read the signature. I choose not to go that extreme though. Again sorry for my earlier choice of bad words.
