  • Опубликовано: 23 июн 2021
  • Nicole Johnson drives more than just big rocks off-road when she explores Lasertown, Cody Waggoner's 40-acre mystical desert playground. Rear-steer, single-seat, turbo 2.2L Ecotec-powered complete with Atlas transfer case and outfitted with copper-plated beadlock wheels, Cody's "Pretty Penny" is arguably the world's most capable extreme 4x4 rock crawler.
    MORE ABOUT CODY WAGGONER AND LASERNUT:
    Cody is the 2020 W.E. Rock World Rockcrawling Champion and 2020 East Coast and West Coast US National Champion. His competition career spans more than two decades and boasts a long list of accomplishments. His Southern California company, Lasernut, specializes in laser cutting. Cody's impact on the off-road community is substantial and his involvement has benefited a wide range of other racers, competitors and fabricators.

    I really enjoy this format. You're knowledgeable and therefore ask the right questions. The types of vehicles vary so much to keep things interesting. And best of all, you get to showcase your talent by driving and experiencing each one of them. It's almost like Jay Leno's garage except from an enthusiast standpoint rather than a collectors. I love it. Thanks for the content.

    Nicole........ This is by far my favorite "Detour Episode." (Next to the first four episodes) You rocked Cody's buggy. I know your driving history, what your capable of doing from the driver seat. Its so cool to see you drive everything from Ultra4 cars, Monster Trucks, Jeeps, Mini Coopers, Gassers, etc !! I give this "Detour" ten thumbs up !!

    And for all of you soft off-roaders out there, one piece of advice: go rock crawling, it seriously amps your off-roading skills. The next time you'll be negotiating that river bed, that too in the dead of the night, you'll be thanking me!
