All I can say was that was impressive, for a number of reasons. He wasn't afraid to put a little mud on the tires. I mean I myself put the trucks we have for through everything. I can understand if it was a lighting or a srt10.

You kinda can't when you're close to getting stuck. I've been there many times. If you got a good trans it will handle it just fine. Momentum is key for thick mud/snow/...ponds...

Oh...awesome video too. Looked like a ton of fun. I'm surprised that trans wasn't hurting though. I guess the pond probably cooled it off enough.

It would take me one busted tranny to decide to swap out to a 4L80E, especially with the abuse you put that thing through!

(In my best Jeff Foxworthy voice) If you watched that video and liked it, you might be a redneck.

Nice. When you break it, you just put it back together tougher than before and go try to break something else.
