Ram TRX jumping

So is this a different TRX than the one he totaled? Seems like a reasonable sequence would be to do the tires, go back to stock, wreck it on the jump, and then set it on fire. He doesn't appear nearly smart enough for that, but looks can be deceiving.

I don't like the "let's destroy everything" Youtube stuff. I've worked too hard for the things I've aquired. This isn't a race car breaking because of failure or being pushed to hard. This is an ******* destroying a new, expensive truck for public approval. All it does is encourage people without deep pockets to try the same ********.

I don't see what someone else destroying what they have has anything to do with the stuff you've worked hard to acquire.

I hate to defend a youtube dude but all he was trying to do originally is see how the TRX compared to the raptor on the same jump. He just sent it too hard lol. Then once he realized it was totaled and beyond reasonable repair, he said **** it.

Honestly if you watch the raptor jumps Im surprised they faired so well. The landings weren't exactly smooth. Gave me a lot more confidence in what these trucks can do.

You are absolutely correct. However, I still don't have to like it.

Rumor is Bilstein wants their shocks back.

I guess Bilstein didn't test these dampers on the TRX as thoroughly as RAM wants us to believe. Surprised they can't huck something heavy on their own in the name of "research"

And he mounted the 44s...by putting 8 wheel spacers on each wheel. Can't believe that worked. Now he promises if this video gets 50k likes he will set the TRX on fire.

It's sad that apparently this operation put on by these...people...is profitable.

Which is kind of ridiculous. My girlfriend is a 3rd grade teacher and what do all her students want to be when they grow up? You guessed it! “Youtubers”. Kids think that this is how you should make it in life. Destroying stuff for likes. Or just film yourself doing whatever. I’m still too young to start rambling about “this generation” but wtf is going on with this generation??

i dunno man I think if you can’t beat em join em- ironically this guy hails from the same part of PA that produced the whole ******* squad, & guess what? If those guys had the ability to instantly post all their crazy shit on the web whenever they wanted they’d be even richer & more well know now & MTV would’ve been in the grave a long time ago lol

I literally been in the business of destroying vehicles my whole life- scrap biz, when you’ve put millions of cars through a shedder (including brand new bmw’s & benz’s w/ minor damage @ times) you start to get desensitized to destruction of expensive stuff hhahaha

def not made for that, but cool to see the abuse it’s taking lol

You have a problem with what third graders want to do with their life? What is that like 8 years old? I dont remember what I wanted to be at that age but it was probably a superhero or motocross something.
