Neat vid...

Was that a custom buggy at 2:32-2:37? Looked interesting.

I tried watching it last night but it was loading so slow.  I got a little past the dude hand cranking the gas pump, which is kinda neat to see!  I'm heading out and it's loading now, hopefully it'll be fully loaded before I get home!

 I liked watching the two guys in cowboy hats launching their little jeep. Not exactly treading lightly. I wish there were more vintage videos like this. It's cool to see the trail and how people drove it in the past.

I had to watch it a few more times also, can't quite figure out what's going on with that rig. It does seem to be a little ahead of it's time as far as suspension goes.

I've never been through yet, but from the current pics I've seen, it looks like they cleared the rocks out of the way back then and mostly just had a rough road  :dunno:
