Most Fun I've Ever had...on Four Wheels

My buddy from AEM hooked me up with chance to drive these guys out in the desert outside of Vegas when I was at Sema. I have NEVER been in something that handled so well in such an enviroment. Hitting whoops at 80mph + and barely feeling them.

Sorry about the pic quality...they are from my Treo. On a side note, we went out in the desert at 5am and it was 42 degrees...by the time the sun came out it was 75. CRAZY temp swing.

They strap you in, and then the owner of the truck says "keep the shiny side up, you roll it....you own it." LOL

4.0 Ford V6 with some extra crunk juice.

Thats awesome man! There is nothing like doing 100+ mph over 3-4 ft whoops. The feeling is awesome and its amazing how smooth and in control a dialed in truck is.

My buddy has one of those. It's a 92 or so Ranger with an Explorer front clip on it. 5.0L V8, 18" of travel on all 4 wheels. Bad ***!

I remember going over the whoops with him at Glamis at 90+ and not feeling a thing in the cab.

Yeah, each lap was an 8.5 mile loop. You ride around twice with someone, then you get to hit it yourself, with a navigator of course.
