Well, we are just going to have to go back and shoot some more video I think ford should hire us for marketing their trucks. These video's would probably sell more trucks than any of their commercials.

Those videos are pretty decent. Wish I coulda seen some more of that in person !

And I really wish I coulda nabbed some vid of the Zuk, I never got to see it in action, I was always behind the wheel ! Oh well, I think it did pretty good.

I think Big nailed it.... we will just have to go back to catch more video !!

So, any of you guys think your going to be able to make it to any of the more Northern trips comin up ?

I just talked to my buddy. There was a burnt jeep at the base of the hill where Tornadom almost rolled. Well he says the part where we got off our wheels, is what the jeep was going up when he had to turn around. That was where the couple rolled their jeep down the ravine. Although the burnt jeep at the base of the ravine was someone elses.

i cant come memorial day weekend (houseboating on shasta) but should be able to june 6th-8th we'll see.

Also, im heading to pismo the last weekend of july, there is a big fair, tons of people are gonna be there, Alan Jackson and Toby Keith are performing, it should be a blast. It would be cool to get some others to go.

EDIT: holy crap that is some crazy footage of Tornadom! Your left rear was off the ground a solid 4 ft or so, i woulda been scared ****less.

My friend David with the Jeep said the left rear was about 6 feet off the ground, but I don't think so. It wasn't that bad people.

Oh, and Jeremiah I am glad that you didn't have a heart attack... that would have sucked. Thanks for caring though.

Guys, i started a thread with video and pix over in the 04-present. I have links to all the video's. I have my album and madmax's up. If you guys have any pix to add go over and post it. Tornadom, i know you still got some good pix. Hopefully this will encourage more to head out next time. Oh, and make them jealous

Here's a link to the thread:
