BangShift PSA: Don’t Catch A Bumper To The Face When Off-Roading – Be Smarter Than This

We know that loads of you have free-time on your hands these days and that time can be filled doing lots of different stuff. Those of you with off-road vehicles have likely or will soon likely find yourself off in the woods having some fun with your buddies. That fun might result in you getting stuck (all the good fun does, right?) and when that happens PLEASE BE SMARTER THAN THE GUYS IN THIS VIDEO. That’s a double demand when it comes to being smarter by the guy who catches a bumper in the body during this operation of getting truck unstuck.

Winch cables, snatch straps, (God forbid) chains, or whatever method you are using to un-stuck a rig all have more energy stored in them than you can imagine and when they fail, disaster is at your doorstep.

The guy that gets hurt is legit doing everything wrong. He is not paying attention, he is way too close, he has no clue what’s happening around him and then WHAMO the guy catches a freaking bumper with his body. You see the dude in kind of a crumpled pile on the ground. He’s jacked up pretty good.

Normally we don’t show stuff with people overtly getting hurt but this is a lesson. When you are out having fun, there’s still risk that you could be in a situation like this. Please keep your head about you and if you see someone about to do something dumb stop them. Winter sucks bad enough when you aren’t spitting out teeth or having to get bones mended, right?

Hit play below to see a guy catch a bumper to the body while off-roading –

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
