Jeremy and his friends get together and take their off road vehicles to a place in the mountains and see who can climb up the grade and over the boulders without flipping backwards and tumbling off the cliff. Beer fuels them and their trucks. They climb some serious terrain and have fun doing it.
Why do they do this? Why not? It seems like it is good clean fun. These photos were taken before the roll-bar was fabricated and before the crawling season started. This crawler will not look the same when the season is over.
I will be filming some of the action and will post the stills of this vehicle at the end of the season. I am thinking it will be thrashed...

I don't know what to say really.
On the one hand I admire the desire to do something and then actually doing it; the desire to drive off road and building a vehicle to do it yourself.
On the other hand it is appalingly redneck and not something I would ever do. I've always been more of a stone than a sponge though.
I dunno. Maybe one time I should just ride in that ridiculous orange buggy around a quarry, blow something up with some dynamite, fire a machine gun at some cardboard cutouts and beer bottles, then kill a living pig with a 12 inch blade for a pigroast. Perhaps later, when we are drunk on protein and adrenalin, we shall have an orgy and I shall feel untold liberation at getting my dick out in public...

Waste of money, if you ask me although I'm sure it's mighty fun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my opinion, the pursuit of good clean fun is worth the money. Life is short.

I have a couple of friends, and an aunt, who love doing things like that. I go for the ride but am invariably white knuckling anything I can grab onto.
Beer might be good afterward, but def not during.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are very brave Ducky! Filming them is one thing, riding along is another. Like a roller coaster on steriods methinks, with no track to guide you along.
*squeek and eek*

that's what oh shit bars are for. don't you have them?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is not my truck, this is a photodoc I am doing for the owner of the truck and his friends who are in these photos.
Oh you bet he has "oh shit" bars. He has fabricated not just a roll bar but a roll CAGE around this vehicle and has taken it crawling since I took these photos.I am not a crawler and not in this collage. I just show up with cameras and do the photography for these people and many others...

Auto "taking a perfectly good vehicle and modifying the hell out of it to make it ridiculously expensive and dangerously overpowered in order to perform in ways it was never designed to do, solely for entertainment purposes" +2. It is a credo by which I live.
Also: If it does look the same after the season is over, he's not doing it right.
