Well i went up to the range to sight my rifle in and while i was up there i found a nice hole to play in. well things didnt quite go according to plan an i nearly rolled the truck over, lucky for me the truck just tipped up against the bank and stoped, the front tire got to about 20 inches off the ground before it tipped over. the solution? dad stood on the bull bad and tipped it back onto all fours. i have a few videos but i am only going to share two of them for now (as soon as my host is back online) as the other ones arent very good (dad is camera retarded)












these photos were taken just before i tried to drive out and tipped it over

Now how did you drift off the road were you looking for your :beer: or were you trying to miss the :deer: :snake: :lamb: in the road.

LOL, no beer for me at thiat time of the morning, this was 8am today. lol. i can drop my tire right into the hole comming from the other way but this side had a realy steep drop into is and caused some problems. now my mirror is a little bent :P


now i am ordering some superior drop shackles on monday so that i have more flex to drop my tires into holes like these.

I really like those tires, are they available over here? I have never seen them before. How do they do? :headbanger:

I believe there is a american agent for them. they are called Extreme Trekkers and are made by Simex. you should be able to get a set from somewhere. they are bloody great!!!

We here at Trail Hunters not only discourage driving off the trail but like to laugh at people that do it on accident

It was no accident! and i believe that many other people have attempted this hole before (tire marks). I have the whole forest block up there to play in, it comes with a swamp and everything! i am going to try and fix my mirror today.

i was realy impressed with the tires, not once did they looose traction and stop driving, my only problem was that the suspension didnt flex enough to keep me on the ground.

:read: so what about these videos? post 'em up when you get a chance



Do you have any sort of traction aid (LS, Lockers..) in your rig right now? or are the diffs open?



Glad you didn't roll it over already

MY host wont be back up untill wed, remind me then and i will post them up.

Only a LSD in the rear at the moment. im not going to put lockers in for a while because i havent encountered a situation (even in the deep mud) where one tire has stopped! they all just keep driving.

your nissan rocks, need to find some bigger holes though. :headbanger:
