Re: Today's Caption Contest

Ha! I found out later that the rock is thinking "Wait until this idiot meets my big brother." https://dm2305files.storage.live.com/y4mIuH_9dtvmXwtAx71X8XT8WwtM7YU9eMKyLC28LXWDqSH5Q17MVB1Rlm5s2-Ic0_GxcMrH6Y1-APlGa9K1dgSfnHK6_d6ABpeL7o8-QZ7BXVOV8g_nLSn_7UnYpNRqier84Qjw3TWU9TcVE9SivJ0mfWt13WX...

Re: Latest Crazy Project: PowerTank Octopus

Good suggestion! I thought about that approach but figured a portable system might work better if I wanted to share it with friends on trail runs or build a mount for it in my garage for multiple vehicles to use. Each tank can fill 24 35-inch tires, I think.

Just to see if I could get it to work . . . https://dm2305files.storage.live.com/y4mMIf0Ti7OBLEeE5PAVfWG2jADLTFR3PFK8xV8Zc7luku9Oe-Mt1haxTQf7VR_sbGztTjWoIs2L9ZM6rXsEmAlRajKnueV5_BYjT5BzTUVtVF4yzknS823k8k7QIXEGoyW-nEEkNxtzkFZIg4MFmzuZ0tBgtahRo1mF08Q_7labQmpO2tnJbLZnTljGFzZCoDB?width=660&height=49...

Re: RTT's and Wheeling

Makes sense. That's where I ended up. I learned that when you are off-camber, or dropping off a rock ledge, or crawling up one, every extra pound makes a difference!

Re: RTT's and Wheeling

Ha! Great memories for sure - don't forget my first run in 2017 where the nut on my steering stabilizer came loose and I almost didn't make it home. Got stranded at the State Liquor Store on Route 89, going in little circles in the back of the parking lot because I could only turn left and couldn't ...

Re: RTT's and Wheeling

Hey Axeman – you’ve really thought about all the right topics! There are a lot of great things about RTT. Great privacy, great comfort and you can choose to camp anywhere no matter how muddy, rocky or uneven the ground might be. Plus, kids absolutely LOVE them. A RTT is basically a treehouse on top ...

862hp 664ft-lb 8000rpm 150mph

Here's what all the kids are watching this week! Just dropped, and already 4.5 million views. I figured there might be some Baystate members that would enjoy these 9 minutes as much as I did! An incredible display of horsepower and torque, expertly applied. Just like wheelin', huh? I've watched this...

Re: Happy 245th Birthday

And THANK YOU to each and every one of you! As Veterans Day approaches each year, I always think of this short video I saw on TV before a football game a few years back. It deeply affected me, and made me realize just how much dedication and sacrifice is required from those who choose to serve . . ....

Re: Well, it's not a Jeep . . .

Yeah - I gotta say that video is about the coolest thing I've ever seen on four wheels. I guess spotters will have to invent new hand signals for "crab walk" when you need to move diagonally over a rock obstacle!

Well, it's not a Jeep . . .

But it has 1,000HP, 11,500ft-lb of torque, 0-60 in 3.0s, can take 37" tires and has 18 cameras (including two underbody).

And can drive diagonally . . .
