Long Travel BS Thread

Better yet SPEED El Jeffe

 

For the low low cost of 60k, you can be broke every weekend! Quality time with the bros fixing your trash!

 

Hot take incoming about razors and side-by-sides. I’m all for people getting out and exploring and learning off road, but the amount of idiots I’ve seen driving them recently seems to have surged. Been in groups before where we’re taking turns going up obstacles and then a whole pack shows up and gets dangerously close running by our vehicles or starts jumping crap without spotters or any clue of who’s on the other side. And for whatever reason, there’s always someone who doesn’t have their cargo strapped down lol. So shits flying everywhere.

Edit: again, nothing against the people taking their families off-road and enjoying nature and that side of performance. Just be responsible, safe, and make sure to leave no trace. Too many trails getting shut down recently.

 

Four seat BK bouncer

 

Razr that drove through the green ooze coming out of a nuclear power plant.

 

Dude

 

The razr people are so bad around here. Just a different breed of individual and they don’t fit in with the crawlers, jeepers, bouncers yotas or anyone.

that being said the BK bouncers are top notch and fully built. Hefty price tag to match though.

 

Rzr is for taking my trash out when I live on 20 acre
Not for driving fast
I’m 6’3-6’4 depending on how recently I’ve been to the chiropractor

 

Around here they buy them to drink beer and cruise like they are the only ones on the trail. Had close calls numerous times a year with them. Seemingly always acting like there couldn’t possibly be others on the trail.

Too many people with too much money and not enough talent buy these things thinking they take zero experience to handle.

Plus side, I’ve got the better survivability.

 

I've ridden in Paul's obs ford 4seater both in the front and the back. The back is surprisingly spacious. Truck works great no doubt about that. Nothing beats the middle third seat as far as the view and feeling more a part of the group, but the 4 seater was pretty fun too not gunna lie.

He's the @allamericansender on Instagram. We did a subreddit of his truck as well.

 

Pretty rad truck. Original build was at Dirt King and Christian completed the rest of the fab work on it in his shop

Now this, is a boaty truck
When they took that thing out on the wings channel I was like…. Well… family cruiser, that thing did not translate into my brain as fast or agile

But again, opinions are what I needed and this has all been valuable input

 

I’m convinced this truck is always looking for penny's… I love it, but it also loves kissing dirt lol.

 

Long wheelbase trucks will potentially do that - I think you remember Josh Graff's (sp?) truck kiss the ground off of the ramp a few years ago. The ramp was shorter than his wheelbase.

Most jumps that work for other trucks might be a little short for this one. Not to say taking some compression out of the back wouldn't possiblly hurt things, but I know he's got real shock tuners, so it may not be as much that as wheelbase and geometry though.

 

The original owner / purchaser of the American Sender sadly passed from cancer and I'm pretty sure it was just being built as a luxury family hauler. The guy that bought it likes to jump it and that's cool, but I doubt that's what it was built to do as a main point.

 

This is my biggest hesitation with 4 seater
I want to maximize occupancy
But not at the risk of potentially finding a penny and messing a disabled person up MORE.
Now
Risk is risk with off-road
But I don’t want to be pre disposing myself to the risk, especially like prior mentioned
Will anyone actually wanna sit in seat 4?
Or is that top gun fighter jet feel of a 3 seat the crème of the crop?

 

Yeah, jumping is not high up on my list as the actual impact could be rough on some guys
But a handling monster would be my dream for getting guys in the dirt


And I value your input a lot, you’ve seen a metric ton of trucks

 

One word as far as SxS over crowding......"Glamis"

 

All of those crew cabs are absolute monsters - Hollander and Danny are shop owners building them for themselves.

 

If you want max experience 3 seat it. Everyone that has ever been in my 3rd seat always compliments on how it was one of the coolest experiences they’ve ever had. They love being able to watch me drive and see everything coming. I would 100% be focusing on the overall experience if you’re doing this for people that have never been in something as such.

Not only that, but the 3rd seat offers plenty of comfort and leg room. 4 seats won’t be doing that nearly as well. Disabled folks would probably appreciate not being cramped into a seat.
