Thats how ya get it done in the south. Like on the west it is "crawling" here in the southeast its crawling but you need a big motor big tires and a long wheel base. You would actually be amazed there's hardly any "rock crawling" its more like WHEELIN'. Mainly because you'll have rock and big rock, and it will be in a big steep loose hill that you've got your small block chevy stomped to the floor in just tapping the rev limiter.

meh... cant say im too impressed. that whole southeast thing with the huge tires and huge motors and shit doesnt do anything for me. i'd rather have a v6 or a small block v8 and some 37s..

It's really no different than rock racing.

Personally I like slow, methodical, technical wheeling in lieu of the get on it, full throttle, point & shoot, and hope all goes well type of wheeling.

This is more my style of wheeling.....

I have to say that is a little too slow for me. I don't mind technical crawling and all. In fact in encourage it, as it great for land conservation and helps keep our trails open, but man, 511:1 that is low. I mean for Pete's sake, it drove it self.

Good stuff though.

Nothing like being able to be your own spotter!

Good stuff though.
