Made a run out at Four Peaks the other day and my buddy let me borrow his Go-Pro......I must have one now. The run is a long road with alot of banked turns and goes downhill the whole way and ending in a wash that you can keep going in for more fun. The banks and ruts in the turns make for an awesome high speed ride, as you can tell from the view rolling at times. Some of the sharper turns got pretty choppy from the wind we've had lately, Deaver springs helped alot there. The thing about this go-pro is you can't really get just how much the suspension was actually working. When it does get choppy, it's bad.......I even caught some air off of a jump at the end of the vid but you can't even tell. Anyway, enjoy. (best seen on full screen)

That is one bad ass truck. Gerat to see that you use the truck for what it was made for unlike the raptors I see in my town (mall crawlers).

Thanks guys!


That is awesome! Looks like sooo much fun. I gotta get to a place like this soon!

I know anyone can enjoy one at anytime but, I do feel bad for those of you who aren't able to take advantage of this type of environment and see what these things can really do.

I think ive seen you around town!! And your truck sounds nice, that 6.2 has a really nice town with your exhaust mods.

Possibly.......Mine has been set-up like this for a while but there's alot of them sporting the Method's/bumper/light bar combo now.

Sweet vids man.

I recommend mounting the Go Pro either on the front fender or driver's door because you can see what's in front of you, but also see the front wheel working and turning. Another good view is on the top driver's side of the windshield because it gives a view of what the driver sees.

Check out the ones I did to get an idea of angles.
