Hey, TFL, I appreciate the chance to bring my truck out there. I had an awesome time despite getting stuck in the mud. Cheers 🍻
Looks like you had a blast
Bodyguard bumper, had one on my 05 slightly custom designed as a wedding gift from my wife
👏👏👏👏👏✌️
You're a legend🍻
That mega beast did an amazing job. Awsome to watch, I cringed when she kissed the tree. Great driving and Awsome truck!!!
I'm not a big offroad guy but these are TFL's best IMO. Nice job guys, great entertainment.
Not a pick up truck guy at all so i wasn’t expecting to enjoy this. But it put a smile on my face more than once. Watching it idle up the incline was pretty impressive.
Looks like the three of you had a blast. I hope Roman goes easy on you 😅
Glad you enjoyed the video, we did indeed have a blast out there.
So... Did ya get in trouble.? I guess it depends on how many views it gets. Haha
He deserves an award for that! For an offroafing/ overloading style rig that is amazing especially how big that truck is!
Was really cool seeing this. I've got a 96 F350 dually 7.3L that my dad can't drive anymore. I'm considering turning it into a overlanding rig, so it was nice to see someone bring a similar heavy duty truck on such a challenging course. Definitely crazy but the best kind of crazy. I love these vids!
A lot to this video. Camera work was top notch. Tommy's demise, never seen that angle from the top before. That puts it in 100% perspective imo. You are not just driving up a slope, that is drive into a wall, get your nose up and hope to be able to roll up it. Which means, this vehicle was at a great dis-advantage with the length. Tires be damned here. It starts with the right vehicle length. Approach and rear departure angles are 100% the deciding factor. You have had a few get through the whole course now w/out a winch or tow, but not many.(finally lost count, 3-5)I was going to comment that you gave too much preview away and the actual video would not seem as exciting, but I think the amount of drama in the preview almost matched what really took place. Good editing. 👍 Glad you don't let Roman decide how much the driver is going to take on. lol Also am glad you let the drivers drive their own vehicles. This guy was dialed into what his rig could and could not do. And what he was willing to put it through. Makes for great content right here. 👍
My favorite ranch video so far. This truck did awesome considering its size and tires, very impressive!. Also love the owners attitude, definitely seems like a cool guy. It was also great seeing the GMT 400 come to the rescue!
Holy cow! Here in the Midwest flat 3ft deep mud bog land we use 800hp gas engine, fiberglass body and boggers at least 42" for mud! Light weight and high wheel speed. Mud is the great equilizer! Kudos for bringing this heavy beast through that mess!
What's crazy is we haven't had much moisture in the area and that Mud is just getting deeper and deeper. Great attempts and love seeing a fellow manual offroader do the course! Even got more than just a sticker for a Tumbleweed badge ;)
It is getting run off from the pond I think is what explanation was given. Bad drainage. Has nothing to do with rain or lack there of.
@@WW-wf8tu When taking to Roman he says he thinks the irrigation ditch above them is leaking a bit as well. Would make sense that it's feeding that pond with water via a little spring.
Well done. Not all the worrying we usually get. That's an ultimate truck. Those Michelins are arguably the best all-around tire ever. Perfect Saturday am video.
THIS is the best TFL video evvvvvva!!! Screw Roman, I'm glad yall did it. Made for a helluva video!!!!!!!
Great truck! Have to love the sound of a manual transmission Cummins..
Good Job. 3500 Mega Cab and owner. Power braking and spinning the rear wheels to make the turn on Davis's Folly portion, TRAIL TURN ASSIST from the skill of the driver..Totally Impressive. Was impressive. One note. Know what, where the front tires are place and direction at all times. Overall. Best run I have seen so far.
Good point made there bud! “Being familiar with this truck you ought to know where the wheels are!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard when he said that!! LOL 😂
Nice! That truck did really well for its size and weight! I want one now lol
"the nice thing about these Michelins" BWHAHAAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
SEND IT!!
I offroad in my 2011 silverado and its definitely a diffand fun experience being in a truck than a jeep or 4 runner. My silverado is hella tough and I enjoyed this video so much because my trucks kind of like his just a gas
That ship did beautiful.
I have a MegaCab and a Samurai. The MegaCab tows the Suzuki to the trail then the Sammy goes up and drives around $50,000 rigs.
These Michelin tires are same ones that were on the previous generation Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Yes they struggled in the mud, but they didn't get stuck to the point of being stopped. Toyota had a video series of a couple of their sponsored off road racers take a stock TRD Pro Tundra to South America. I know they drove up and down a volcano. Some of what they drove on/thru was legitimately impressive.
I like how David came back there with armor all'ed tires. 😂
The best part of this was watching David winch him out with that said both of those trucks are my favorite. Not a Dodge just the mega a cab.
Yeah sure 😊
How does one get invited to run the course?
Thuren/Daystar Cradles/hub conversion/6 speed. Bonus points. That front bumper tho, are you free ranging cattle? I don't understand why Texan's luv those bumpers. I guess I could see it if it is a full time ranch truck? Otherwise it is just a shitload of weight up front. Cool truck overall dude!
Impressive for street tires!
Needs a lift and nitto mud grapplers 37s. My little 5 speed tbi Silverado with 33s 13.50 mud grapplers wouldn’t have gotten stuck.
Really great job especially with those tires. If that area never dries out you're probably going to have to backfill it a bit or those ruts are goign to make it impossible for anyone to get through.
I'd love to see matt bring the banana and morvair out
And what does Matt say about big, heavy, low-HP, low-RPM diesels?🤣
That truck is bad ass
This is a GREAT VIDEO! .... but at 38:00 could you guys KEEP the camera out of the way of that strap cuz if it SNAPS, it will take your head off!
SAFETY TIP ON WINCHING:
PLEASE ALSO add a metal plate to the rear of the cab and/or a removable front protective plate so when the tow hook chains, rops or straps SNAP, that the metal hook itself won't smash through the rear windshield of the tow vehicle or go through the front windshield of the stuck vehicle causing massive head injuries! Matt's Off-road Recovery channel has a whole video on a DEAD DRIVER of a 4x4 that was caused by a winch wire/rope SNAPPING and going right through the driver's-side windshield! The amount of force on a taut winch-hookup can be several THOUSANDS to TENS-OF-THOUSANDS of PSI of pressure and all that force WILL go through thin metal, glass and your body like a hot knife in butter!

It wouldn’t have been fun if you didn’t get stuck! Fun video!
Chain saw to that tree would help with preventing damage
Tires would make a huge difference
With any diesel it's one and done deal. Your approach was far to cautious with ht tires. Your first shot is the most important.
What kind of Michelins are those? I'm looking for a nice tire that will see 98% of its life on pavement.
Let’s see a GX470 make this look easy
Tire are digging down but also have no traction in mud . That diesel sinks down bad . If there was traction under the
calls it stock but has a different manifold and even a tuner lol
Stock internals. Perhaps I should've been more specific.
@@ID10Tpig nice rig
I love when people are mediocre drivers and think they’re going to tackle all of this with ease.
Good scars. I waited for my whole adult life to see this video.
thanks , I saw all I wanted in the first couple of minutes...
9300 lbs as a daily driver?...does that mean your pushing around 9300 lbs so your 240 lbs can get from point A to point B?
Camera man standing directly in the line of fire when they started using that kinetic rope. Just waiting to die...
Michelin, all the way man
1:22 Ninety-three hundred pounds… that’s Hummer EV territory.
Just feels like 3 buddies 4 wheeling with a camera. Just a very natural feel which Is super amazing
Such a bad ass truck. No emissions Cummins, mega cab, manual, lockers, what more could you want?
I’m shocked at how well that long, heavy truck did on this course
There's a lot of thought, time, money, and love put into this truck
It's definitely a love-hate relationship lol
@@ID10Tpig lol, I feel you. Nice build though. Looks like the perfect overlanding rig.
First time I heard of going from dually to single. Usually it's the other way around!
That’s a Dodge...... not a fiat “Ram”. A true unicorn being a megacab
I believe his truck performed pretty damn good. If he'd had a waterproof winch with more weight rating he would've gotten himself out. Awesome truck and the modifications he did on it as well.
Well. Now that he killed his wench, he has the excuse to go get a water proof bigger one. It’s obvious he’s not afraid to get his truck dirty and scratch it. He showed just how capable over all a big, heavy 3500 Ram Cummins diesel 4x4 manual truck is. I really enjoyed this video.
Is there going to be a RUclips short# of you guys getting chewed out by Roman? Looking forward to that.
@@americanrambler4972 🤣🤣🤣
Hello TFL, you young men have made one of the best episodes at Tumble Weed Ranch to date keep up the great content.
''As long as it didn't break the glass and door still works I don't give a *beep*''
Love this guy's attitude.
My favorite thing driving a stick shift diesel is letting out the clutch at a standstill without any gas pedal at all. I’ve never stalled a diesel, seems impossible.
My dream truck is a first gen w150 short bed. So I’d be one to do something like this.
Do it.
Try the Hummer EV as a recovery vehicle!! I would kinda love to see how it how it goes with all the weight and the rated power.
As a recovery vehicle I would imagine it would be awesome, but I would never attempt to take it through this course.
I'd love to see a AEV Prospector XL go through the course
With the big 40s itd be a cake walk.
and i love the sound that cummins makes....its just a thing of beauty
If u had it lifted higher would have been no problem that front bumper of yours is just becoming a plow
Awesome video guys !!!!
Absolutely best TFL ranch course off-road video yet.
Love it.
Great job guys.
"Why not? Nothing better to do." Greatest answer all time 🤣🤣👊🏽👊🏽💪🏾💪🏾
Diesels and bottomless mud don’t mix. A few years ago, at a Wilseyville Hare Scramble, dirt bike race in the Gold Country of California. Was a snowy mud fess. All the diesels, stuck! Dozer there to pull them out. 1/2 ton pick ups, smaller SUVs with all/4 wheel drive could motor around without issue. Diesels at Sand Hollow, stuck. Nose heavy, just what it is.
I work at a Wastewater facility. I’ve stuck our 4x4 16,000 F450 where our F150 can drive in 2 two drive.
Interesting
I love the spirit! Trying, having fun! Would love to have that opportunity one day - to bury my car and have so much fun of it :D
Fantastic, practical, truck built for work and play. And very Texan.
Loved it. Felt like I was reliving my early 20s
Let’s see the morvair from Matt’s off road recovery out there.
He probably didn't want it going through the mud because he knew that thing would tear the ground up to the point where nothing else is going to be able to get through there very easily.
But then again it wouldn't be very nice to invite the guy out and then tell him he's not allowed to play in the mud...
Case and Alex are probably still out there with shovels 😂
@@frh-freerangehuman Roman is sitting in a lawn chair sipping one of those teas in the square bottle he always has. Lol
@@deejayimm hahahahaha
@@frh-freerangehuman "Kase" and he said, Roman would not see it since he does not have time to watch everything they produce. ;)
I don’t get people not wanting to winch. Like you will buy all this other stuff to make it off-road capable but don’t want to use the winch. The reason the tires keep getting bigger and bigger.
Que all the people that say the Power Wagon needs a Cummins. The PW is a purpose built 3/4 ton offroader. All the extra weight from the Cummins is a huge hindrance offroad. The difference between the PW that ran the course before and this truck is night and day.
Video had big “don’t tell dad” vibes which made it fun to watch 😅
Great content-this is why I watch 👍
I have those tires on my Dodge sprinter 3500 dually RV great tires also get a tension tow rope instead of that chain that will hurt or kill someone some day
Love seeing someone on the TFL team with a great taste in sports. Great hat Alex!
This is why the Power Wagon is not a diesel. Too Heavy in mud.
Only 9300 pounds, it’s similar in weight to the new Hummer.
Actually, the Hummer weighs more. 🤣
That’s a real nice rig and the young man sure ain’t got no quit in him, I learned a long time ago 9 times out of 10 that red hair is sign of pretty hard wood in there, I was cringing, still a great show and that’s a monster of truck.
👏👏👏GREAT VIDEO GUYS👏👏👏 ALEX THE CAMERA NINJA 👏👏👏 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️
Size and weight off road. Especially on TFL's ranch course. Still the big heavy truck was pretty impressive for a big heavy truck on that tight course.
You guys are going to be in so much trouble when Roman gets back 😆
I wouldn't stand where the cameraman was standing during that kinetic rope recovery. Dangerous.
This one was awesome actually love how the owner of that truck took every challenge, it's nice to see someone having fun & what not. Hopefully the views on this one can get him some bucks to help him fix that little dent on the roof by the door for him!
Weight and width sucks offroading but if you need an HD truck cost of having front and rear lockers will save you money in towing
I willfully pass the "fattest truck champion belt" over to this Justin! LOL!!
Many thanks.
@@ID10Tpig great driving!!
@@JustinKingOffroad Thanks, man. We should go wheeling sometime.
Honestly, the best part was how much fun you guys were obviously having. That’s how you know you were doing it right!
Boss says not to do the muddy stuff.
Does the muddy stuff.
Cajones, boys. I love it.
No other long wheel base diesel could get through half that then go pull 10k pounds worth of travel trailer down the highway. This video shows that outside of a true trail like they're on, that truck can do it all, multi-functional, not one dimensional.
Damn right
That truck wouldn’t even care about a 10k trailer. That’s within the capability of most half tons now, much less a 3500.
Truck can be great but those tires. C'mon man! Highway tires really!? Put on a set of KM3's and do this again!
I feel sorry for the next rig that has to go through that mud. 😂
I'm supposed to be up there in a few weeks. This just got a lot tougher.
I'm hoping @ID10Tpig can come back ad do an adventure with you guys! Probably a long trail run
I own a truck for daily and tow vehicle. I also own a lifted Jeep on 37s. Big heavy diesel trucks are no comparison to a Jeep or Toyota off-road. In the same way, Jeep owners stop pulling too-heavy trailers. Both are wrong - LOL. Love that he tried though. That’s better than being a capable mall crawler.
Good setup. I agree with him. Dual lockers . . Tires become a little moot...
Best On X off-road course adventure/recovery video! Balls to the wall! Fearless and tenacious!
That's a killer truck and this is one of my favorite videos from you!
In that mud, you see the real reason a Cummins isn't that great off road!!! Big heavy anchor!!!
Look at Matt's Off Road Recovery - it's a litany of 3/4 ton trucks getting hung up. All that weight = bad off road. One of the worst stuck situations I was involved with was of a 3/4 ton diesel GMC. Still and all, an impressive run and entertaining segment.
the part where he was going back and forth brings back so many memories, ( i can get out my self), thanks guys.
Former XJ owner? Good man!
Go Phillies!
Heavy lumbering beasts and mud do not go well.
