It's incredible this is directly below a large lake and it is never dry like this

Went back today and did another run up the river until I hit water

It's a blast

The only issue I'm having is both times I've gone I haven't aired down my tires and when I loose my momentum it's tough to get back up to speed

I also had everything engaged but felt like i still have some limitations as far as tire spin and power when I wanted it

Any input??? Granted the sand is soft and 3 ft deep....

Are you sure you're getting the traction control icon to blink?? ...sometimes you hold it and it doesn't quite get there for whatever reason.

What mount did you use to connect the camera to the headrest in the second vid where we can see your hands? ....I'm all about that angle.

Yea I know what you mean Bo I have had that issue too it seems it's picky about what order you engage everything in

And I actually used the head strap with the GoPro for that one!! Seems to be my favorite view as well

Ya that was my thought behind it!

The first video is cool but the second really shows how much movement is necessary to turn the truck at a high speed in deep sand

This spot is illegal as far as I know and usually it's a raging river

Nevertheless I will continue to go and get more footage up when I can

Thanks for the input fellas
