Looks dangerous and I want one. Move the props head high for CoG and give it 2 thumb sticks to drive. Lol. Looks like the Wright Bros 1st couple of flights.

This one looks a bit more dangerous. And he test flies it without the body armour.

As is usually the case, the images fail to capture the intensity of the terrain, but I was pretty proud of this one so here's a pic. The obstacle is Cake Walk at Wolf Caves offroad park about 100 miles from Austin. I followed a friend's buggy and didn't expect to make it, but managed to crest the top after about 2 attempts. This is the only pic someone took:


But a friend did get a little video. Unfortunately, the video stopped before I made it up, but it shows the Jeep balancing pretty well on 2 tires. LOL! What you can't see is that just to the left is a big hole that would've resulted in a really nasty rollover(s). I was very thankful for beadlocks!

Obstacles like those make my a$$ pucker so hard, it inhales my seat cushion.

Oh, it was! Just don't know if the true "sketchiness"tm is clear through the pic. LOL A little to the left or right and there would've definitely been damage to the new soft top if you know what I mean!

I totally understand how photographs can make sketchy look easy. This is definitely sketchyer than it looks.

My Yoder got that. You Heep guys are so funny.

















Just kidding. Rocks and hard stuff always make me a little nervous. Mainly because I don't want any body damage.

Motor is cool ^^^^^

But I just don't get Australian trend of taking the worst 4 door car, biggest ugliest wheels, cheap rear tires and slapping a huge overpowered motor and just doing donuts until the tires pop. This might be worse than swamp buggy racing.
And then the crowd goes crazy over it.
Sorry but just don't get it.

I'm sure they can look at some of our Motorsports and question it too.
