Off Roading So What Exactly Is "Truck Trial"?

Found this, YouTube - Truck Trial ChříÄ, Vránov

and not too sure. I assume it is to be along the lines of rock climbing/off road competition on a much larger scale. Very Very Cool though. Especially since they are all diesels.

And I thought I had a big heavy rig.

Are you sure? Check out the clip called frame twister. At 1:11 of that that clip there is a shot that clearly says 24 valve Cummins on the side of the hood. I know its just a sticker but,,,,,Maybe?

Actually it is when a Dodge/cummins kills a powerjoke or a duramin, gets caught & they have a trial. Usually there is an acquital & it is called a mercy killing

that is a diesel, 24 valves at there best, the truck is from texas, and was sold on e-bay about 2 mos ago, if i remember correctly it went for around 17K.
there is story that goes with the truck, about being rear ended and bought back from the insurance company and turned into one bad A!! wheeling machine

After close inspection: it may have a Cummins, though on the hood it says Cumming ??? I did see a puff of black at 2:31 into it. I would have rather listened to the motors and the cround than that "background music".

I just got the 2006 Top Truck Challenge video today and just finished watching it. That "Cumming's" Dodge is pretty cool. It only has 30 or 40k miles on it and leather seat's, it's loaded. It did'nt do as well in the competition as I hoped it would, but it did get 2nd in the 40k lb cement truck tow up hill. It also has Rockwell axle's. The owner is from Texas and as someone mentioned, was a totaled truck. I'm sure it was hard for the driver and spotter to communicate over the 24v,sure was noisey on the video:-laf!

Yep, that's Brad Pellet's Dodge 2500 24 Valve Diesel from Longview, TX. Brad used to own Pellet Performance & Off-Road, also in Longview - but sold it to a guy named Sean a couple years ago. Sean was Brad's Co-Driver at the TTC. I've wheeled with Brad and Sean at least twice, that I can think of, in Gilmer, TX at the Barnwell Mountain off-road park.



Had no idea Brad sold his truck on eBay, as someone else mentioned. He had hinted about it ever since he got back from the TTC, and I guess he just finally gave in. If it did indeed sell for around $17k then somebody got an absolute steal of a deal!
