I have the Pirates of the Rubicon Video. They are all on the designated trails. No where in that video are they every off the trail. The part of them roasting the tires on the slab is just for show, nothing more. He could have made it up that hill no problem. He was just showing off, no harm no foul. Also flpping ones truck over is just part of the fun. We build our trucks to take the extream abuse. We do it because we can. We push our creations to very edge and then push it over. We go until we can't go no more. Then we bring it home and rebuild it, make it better. Then go out and flop it again. In the video they were treading lighly. They did not blaze new trails nor did they disrupt anything other than some dirt. The eco-nazies can't point out anything in that video execpt that they are loud and abit scary.. but hey thats the American way!
People who build their trucks from the gound up have a little diffrent mentality than people like here on this board. I am not saying one is better than the other just diffrent (ok complety opposite).
We as an off-road community are one in the same. We all suffer or we all benifit from one another. We all have to remember that what we do can affect the whole community. Maybe POR video there was some questionable stuff. I personally enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one!
