This 1968 Ford Truck Commercial Is Crazy And Had To Have Been Fun To Make! Full On Beat-Downs!

In any sort of job, there are highs and lows. There are things that are fun to do, things that are not so fun, stuff you love, and stuff you hate, right? This actually has to apply to stunt or precision drivers as well. These are the guys you see in commercials driving cars, trucks, and performing the stunts therein. We’re going to guess that when this group drivers got called to participate in a 1968 Ford truck commercial about big rigs, dump trucks, and other yeoman-like vehicles they were not thinking that it would be all that much fun. Boy were they wrong.

This sports themed commercial shows all kinds of winter sports like Bobsled, skiing, luge, and that type of junk. Somehow we’re guessing the performance of the trucks is supposed to mimic or relate to the athlete’s strength, skill, and prowess? Either way, we don’t really give a crap about that as much as we do the absolutely awesome beat job that gets laid on these trucks.

The little Transit thing is OK, it looks kind of neat with under flares chucking rocks at the camera, but the big rig which is being driven by someone who wants to flip it over and the straight trucks…ohh the straight trucks. You will see a loaded dump truck (or “tipper” as they are called in Jolly Ol’ England) get air and just get hammered on. Lastly there is a flatbed truck that is driven over what are basically parking space curbs at speed and the things that the otherwise pretty rigid suspension system on the truck does basically defies description. The dude driving that truck could not have been able to walk to days after this, especially if there were multiple takes involved!

No one does stuff like this anymore. Why?!

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
