Nice flex in the 1st pic, and how exactly did you manage to get on a beer can exactly? That picture kind of made me laugh.

the beer can is just a trick

Flexed out on those huge *** tires, one guy gently lifts a corner, places beer can under tire, then puts the Zuk back down on it. Its an empty beer can, just sittin there, for chits and giggles.

Definately a fun trip.

Notice in the video "my favorite" (2nd one down) my buddy Mike is frickin ghost riding his whipe ! He put her in 1st, and hopped out. The rig did the whole rock course with no driver !!!!! Thats just BAD.

Not sure if any of yall watch Top Truck Challenge, or read the mags or anything, but if you have seen pics of the Tank Trap, I promise you, the vids and pics do it NO justice. That trail is just insane !!
