That is awesome! Pikes Peak is right outside my window.

Funny, you drive off the trail up there now a days mowing down trees and through brush like that and you will find yourself with a hefty fine or in jail. The bolder fields above timber line can be fun to cross…..slowly.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-10-2008, 06:08 PM

Wow, that was a great video!

You ought to post this over in the 57 subforum as alot of people don't make it to the 4x4 section.

Thanks for posting that!!!

**Thealien** · 04-10-2008, 06:20 PM

Cool video, thanks!!!

HOTFUN · 04-10-2008, 07:56 PM

That is awesome. You know why they used two identical trucks in case they lost one. Thanks.

I know of one factory 4x4 57 here in town that they are gonna hack up to make into a trailer queen

. And take off everything that makes a napco in the first place.

DieselEater · 04-12-2008, 02:50 AM

Wicked Cool!!!!

I'm close to Pikes Peak like dirtylarry.....I wonder what one of those trucks is worth now! I embedded that vid in my Myspace Pulling site....

I agree, this mall cruiser might scratch his pretty rims!

Nice video,

hgs_notes · 04-14-2008, 06:04 PM

Wait, how did those cars get up there? j/k. The one part I thought was a little hokey was the narrator saying at 12000 feet they experienced no loss of power of any kind. My BS-o-meter kind of pegged out there. Very impressive run up the hill though.

BLUE THUNDER · 04-14-2008, 08:49 PM

great video. That was a pretty stout rig. Mario.

jkade · 04-19-2008, 02:32 AM

Very cool video but it makes my back hurt to watch it

I would love to get my hands on one of them too.
