Sightings Of The Willy Mammoth

[Rocksurfer]

Looks like it was lots o fun (muddy), how come the Mammoth always seems to be doin tug duty?

[Lady Di]

It was hard not to run for your life while filming, that's for sure!

I wish I had gotten the one of Tim (? the noisy CJ? ) coming up f***that (that was the name of the climb and for good reason and the only route available to take) He was the only one to make it, and no one expected him, of anyone, to make it so when he came launching over the top no one was ready for it (not to mention he came up over the side) and EVERYONE was diving out of the way

I was way back by the Mammoth and saw it all from a distance, it was SO FUNNY!!!

[InstaGator]

I know next time I may be a bit more aggressive now that I know what to expect. I'm not a big fan of exo cages but I am thinking of doing one now. My wife saw the crew cab and likes it so maybe I will get one, I just don't want to bob the bed, even though my rear would plow everytime we went to climb.  I think the next thing that will be done is a place to put the food while it cooks. I gotta figure out how to make rice for the next time

The food was great, I'm going to have to look at doing that What was the recipe instigator? 3000 rpm for 45 miles? He cooked corn on the cob and hot dogs on the engine!!

I won't be as leary as riding the hills next time either, got to be easier then walking them (more like scaling them)  when mrW posts the video you might be able to see some people pulling on roots and grass trying to get up the inclines.

He took over 600 lbs out of the back. There was 318 lbs behind the rear axle!! DOH! No wonder we couldn't keep the front end on the ground!

I got the videos done, It is one long clip that is 21 megs so if you have dial up I am sorry, you will have to be patient as it may take days?  

If you would though, please right click the link and do a save target as so it will help keep the traffic down on my site in the case you want to see it over and over.

Nope, still running stock  60 hp.

[InstaGator]

That was great!! I'm making vhs copies of mine as I post. I got the opposite angle of you trying that climb by the water. I'll be in Altamonte in the morning, I'll give you a call to see if I can get you a copy. Mrs. W don't be stealing all my cooking secrets

Who says all of Florida is Flat, even if it was originally man made.

[Lady Di]

Those pics are great, gator. I'm going to have to email (was it Jimmy? The venezulean in the green shirt?) He's got  more pics. He's got a good pic of us launching over that last one (the one we were supposed to stop at the top of but launched over into the mud on the other side) That was so funny!

[*FFC*]

Awsome pics!!!!!!!

[*FFC*]

Here are some pics that Ricardo (orange crew cab w/exo) took. These are the "Gettin it" pics.




He said he'll send more soon.

We took Nosey and Mrs Nosey out to Ocala for a trail ride on Saturday. Got out early so we had the duty of clearing the trail of spiders. 

[Willy Mammoth]

  We also had to clear the trail of some fallen trees from the hurricanes last year.

[79coyotefrg]

i didnt remember seeing a rear seat in the Mammoth

[Willy Mammoth]

We visited a sinkhole they have a boardwalk down into.

[Willy Mammoth]

 

[Willy Mammoth]

But that isn't the most exciting thing to happen all day. We made a short drive on Hwy 40 from one trail to another and that was all it took to get hit by some

They weren't paying attention to what was in front of them and slammed into us as we were turning off the highway. 

[Willy Mammoth]

Now I know what you are thinking    and I thought the same till after I was done balling her out    Then I looked at the Mammoth and to my amazement there was no damage.    So now I don't feel so bad anymore, all I could do was    at the damage to the other car. 

Just goes to show you, Don't mess with the Mammoth cause you don't have a chance   

[Willy Mammoth]

Seriously though we were very lucky cause we went up on two wheels and if I hadn't been so quick to turn into the skid we would have gone over.

She didn't see us signaling for the turn and paniced at the last second. She tried to miss us by going around on the right, but that was where we were going so she clipped us in the rear tire and pushed us sideways. I jacked it up and spun the wheel, It was fine. Only a gouge on the wheel

Now for the sillyness of the day. Here is a video clip. http://www.mhdfl.com/forum/Videos/Run_over.wmv

If things hadn't worked out so well, I'm sure that would have been worthy of a Darwin Award, or at least a nomination or honorable mention?

[RHG]

Took longer than I was expecting for you to come out the other side. i thought you might have got hung up on a axle or maybe were checking the fluid level of the t-case

[*FFC*]

Time to get high speed
