It's like reading a transcript of conversation at a family reunion somewhere in the middle of Nowhere, Louisiana, and all the commenters are inexplicably 1st degree relatives to each other

I feel like the proper solution to the getting stuck in mud problem probably doesn't lie in the moah powaaah but they've all decided gently caress it, let's go full Clarkson.

Yeah, you just hammer down till you've buried it to the axles 20 feet from where you started, then put it in reverse and do the same thing, back and fill while sawing the wheel until you are either broken 'cause your fab skills suck, or sank in mud. I just don't see where the challenge is. Rock crawling, offroad racing, rally racing, etc there are skills you have to hone, meanwhile that shallow end of the gene pool doofy motherfucker is trundling around in a mudpuddle trying to bury his truck without actually being able to see what he's up against or caring. It's like NASCAR levels of boring but without the cool tech to spend years developing or hair trigger reaction time driving.

On The Grand Tour, they send James to a winching tournament. That was actually interesting because they drive around, get stuck, winch out, and keep going. They aren't just driving into a mud pit shouting "YEEEHAAAAW" until their truck falls apart.

It's big loud trucks going fast and blasting mud everywhere and at the start and end of the night they pull out the massive ones so loud you can hear them through the soles of your feet and you can watch them zip through the bog in 15s when every other truck took three or four times as long if they didn't get stuck. Y'all reading too much into it.

Just remember to clean in between the treads after you go muddin'. Urinary tract infections are no joke.

I think it's less about any skill at the challenge, and more about loud trucks, mud flying everywhere, bikinis, and watching poo poo break.

OK, dumb question: in all this retarded 'mud bogging', those trucks are so high up that I don't see how the motive power gets from the engine to the axles / wheels. Someone clue me in? I don't see (or maybe don't recognize) the usual drivetrain in the video.

No, no. ((Money * Seals) ^ boost) / time boost = ((money + rockauto) * BAC) * internet connection speed Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Feb 17, 2017 |

Fuel:air air:seal? It's not a flaw it's a feature. They automatically lower compression under high boost.

Despite the peril, it would have to be hilarious to see the piston and or rod just firing right out of the cowling. "Fly, be free!"
