Default TLT Rigs + Water= FUN!!! (56K beware)
Wasnt sure where to put this so I figured Id post it up here. I got together with a couple of guys on here today to run our rigs. Most of the pics are of theirs because I was taking pictures. We also got alot of video so that will be edited and posted in a few days.

Ryan: I had alot more of your truck but alot turned out blurry. I think it was the fact that you were driving faster than Jay(and in and out of water more) My camera couldnt keep up.......

NONE of the shots were staged. They were taken while the vehicle was being drivin. Can you tell I liked the Land Cruiser alot, LOL!

The Land Cruiser and the red/silver truck were both waterproof. My black Dodge...well, wasnt! Thats why there are only a few pics of it. I ran my new(thanks Ryan!) SW2 in the water but no where near to the degree they did. You will see it in the video.

Thanks again guys for a fun time! We definitly have to do it again soon

All you need are some pontoons and paddle tires.

Looks like you had fun. Just get the trucks dry quickly so that they don't rust.

So thats you Jay!!!!! I bet those tires look sick

Im ordering an LRP AI Quantum Runner waterproof esc and the Bushwacker bodies(3) as we speak! The "plus" is backordered till January. I figure it will be good for the snow too.

Heres a few more that I forgot:
