Frame Twister and Mud Pit! - Top Truck Challenge 2013

Purchase the Top Truck Challenge DVD here! www.4wheelparts.com/search.asp...
The brutal Frame Twister has evolved through the years, and for 2013 it changed again. In 2012 we cut almost 100 feet of fat from the Frame Twister for Top Truck Champions' Challenge, and this year we hacked off another 100 feet or so, which left us with 201 feet of condensed chaos. The course began just a few yards prior to the infamous Squeeze Rock section with its nasty dogleg that likes to flip vehicles. Once clearing the Squeeze, competitors made a left turn and came face-to-face with the gut-wrenching, suspension-bending log section. This section included six strategically placed logs that are perpendicular to the direction of travel and each was separated by deep, water-filled trenches. The log section may only be a few yards in length, but it's an evil section that has ruined the day of many TTC competitors over the years.
Each team had 10 minutes to complete the course. Cones marked the boundaries and a competitor was considered out of bounds if the inside of any one of their vehicles tires traveled past the outside edge of a cone. Hitting a cone resulted in a 30-second penalty and a two-minute penalty (per occurrence) resulted if the competitor violated the winch safety guidelines.
It would be really boring if we constructed our infamous Mud Pit the same each year. Besides, then competitors would know what to expect, and that's unacceptable. Last year, the course was fast and nearly all of the competitors made it through with no problem. This year, we mixed it up (no pun intended) by combining thousands of gallons of water and our special dirt. With a water quotient higher than last year, our 135-foot pit was a delightful, soupy, tire-swallowing mess. Competitors were allowed to run until they ceased forward momentum or crossed the finish line. Running over a cone netted a 30 second penalty for those who completed the course and a 5-foot penalty for those who did not finish. Traveling out of bounds meant disqualification and a two-minute penalty was assessed for safety violations.

[@M8Y]

"im kinda local, its 250miles away from my house" Waat?

[@brenstitz121]

My childhood right here

[@47MasoN47]

Thanks to all the drivers for being willing to run this. Hearing my truck's body scrape against that rock would have just been too much after all the work I've been dumping into it. Best of luck on the rest of the event!

[@leobetancourt3724]

that black Ford killed itt!!!

[@GPgundude]

FORD POWER !!!

[@BadDFWDrivers]

You are the most upbeat competitor here. I very much enjoyed watching you

[@hudali311]

I can watch a street racing twice.. I can watch this ALL DAY and never get bored!

[@fellowship_of_the_goat]

The air filter at 5:00 always cracks me up. The way it's just flopping around is too good.

[@pajerofan22]

Nowadays this challenge consists of tubes on wheels. Love the full body trucks

[@KurzawaJakub]

Great show, good host and what a fun to watch. A real American show.

[@justinroberts9965]

the Broncos and that f350 are sick

[@EricsBBQAndMORE]

Fords are on top!

[@HackoDis]

I like the supercharged Bronco, the 350 is a beast, i love it. So far this is pretty cool.

[@kirk0respite]

that f350 is the best truck in ttc history!

[@KapenW17]

That F350 is a unstoppable!

[@JonneyTurbo65]

This kind of stuff is what makes america great. Dont matter what is going on in DC the people of the USA is what makes it great

[@fiddle02]

I used to be able to do frame twister and the mud hole and make it half way up tank trap without a scratch in my stock toyota pickup with 33's and a 4" lift. Top truck ruined hollister for me. but the videos are worth it!!

[@BennyBallbreaker]

That F-series is a doomsday machine.

[@TheVancen]

Gotta say, that F-350 is pretty bad ass. nice to see something that doesn't have an LS of some kind takin' names.

[@quasiczarcasm]

That red Chevy was half way done with the logs before the rear tires even got to it!

[@joshjacobus4641]

I got a BUILT k30 1 ton but this video proves if it ain’t a ford it ain’t number 1 can’t wait to build a old ford I like my Chevy but I got my soft spot for them old fords badass rigs they are

[@rhubarbpie2027]

Love that 350 and the Vdub!!!

[@ratattakkustoms]

[@rhubarbpie2027]

[@ratattakkustoms]

James Stevick It's all mine.

[@rhubarbpie2027]

Bitchin' my man Matt Huit​

[@ratattakkustoms]

James Stevick Thanks a lot!

[@PootsGarage]

That squeeze rock put the 1st dent on my Cherokee years ago!

[@natekarr]

That red full size chevy is bad ass.

[@MrGuitarguyadam]

If he woulda gotten some speed and gone BALLS TO THE WALLS!! he woulda made it all the way no problamo!

[@traileaderProduction]

Nate Karr That Chevy is pretty horrible has way to much body lift making it looks just awkward and is also Mid engine ? its probably the most pointless vehicle in this lineup

[@natekarr]

I don't give a fuck what you say. I like it.

[@ra55575]

That F350 knows how to put on a show!

[@charybe]

Whoa... I had never seen this "Top Truck" thing before, but what's sure is that I will see more.

[@satricon]

omf! are going to show all the top truck footage here? thats flippin awesome! i love you guys!"

[@jordan_w]

That f350is one beast of a machine

[@etteiperdnaxela]

that f-350 is completely insane

[@bluesnowfox361]

That Silverado needs to go back to the drawing board and maybe get a few feet closer to the ground. The only thing it could do well is wade deeper than everyone else XD

[@lretxxz]

i would be a little mad if i HAD to damage my truck to get through a competition. that wasn't well planned out and kind of dick.

[@AkronKid330]

Ford!

[@pinkeagle98]

That f-350 is amazing

[@reggie2334able]

the black Ford truck was badass in the mud

[@carmaticfrua5739]

just a thought, are they allowed to change tire pressures? would a lower tire pressure help with the grip especially over the logs?

[@TheKiefmike]

Great interview responses from the drivers.

[@MGnFF224]

The ford f350 was bad ass! Did it without the winch too. Sick

[@mountainxplorer]

Glens Black Ford actually has a 540 big block in it. It was entered with a 460 but he had a bigger motor built before he came there. It definitely had some power!

[@TheJrowns]

That F-350 is giving me a mild chub

[@ognaysayer]

The black F-350 is the coolest truck I have ever seen.

[@qstix9733]

wow!, that 1st challenge, the squeeze threw thing looked tough!! and rough!!

[@tylerdempsey2712]

That f-350 is a beast

[@jorgeaguiar8917]

Grandes maquinass!!!!!!!

[@peralez2383]

That F-350 refuses to be stopped

[@indestructible306]

That f350 ... Love it

[@gerritbomgaars6990]

Gotta say the Ford f150 is a great truck ** Amsoil top choice for sure

[@mrkthmn]

Ha Ha, all those interviews: Q: What's your plan? A: Uhhh..........i dont know.... Just do it.... ha ha! Great video though.

[@Jcates-fm3px]

Fucn sweet rides man

[@TheEndOfTheInternet]

Ford! Ford! Ford!

[@nilsondavis39]

That ford was pretty wicked though!

[@mwinowyll852]

I didn't see any Royal Purple stickers on those trucks. ;)

[@quinnjohn1]

Such a shame dude! You have a really cool truck. It would have been awesome to see it at it's full potential. There's always next year though!

[@mtothem1337]

This looks fun as hell

[@mygrakat]

The F350 is awesome!

[@ericmadden7985]

^ is right. we know how to fast forward. keep up the series.

[@TheGamingPancake95]

great show!

[@16TheGotohell]

If I could own one for function it would be the f350. But that vw is just way too cool.

[@ratattakkustoms]

Thanks man! I had a bad run.

[@firelizard2]

+Matt Huit On the logs maybe, but you made the rocks and mud pit look easy!

[@ratattakkustoms]

+firelizard2 Thanks! My rig was built to do those types of obstacles.

[@PthaloBluez]

Hahaha the guy's voice crack right at that moment. Good one!

[@Drumsetkid23]

Glen Green's F-350 sounds incredible!!!

[@mountainxplorer]

Yeah the fuel pump and electrical issues he faced on the 1st day really affected everything. You'll see how well he maneuvers the large Crew Cab in the next portion with fuel getting to the motor!

[@sebastianjenewein5599]

6:41 that is a cool jeep in the background

[@benjnewberry]

JK 6x6 looks like

[@shoulderbladez44]

No Jeep is cool no matter what it is

[@Mrtruckboy9]

Can't wait to see that big shiny Chevy get all chewed up by the tank trap

[@RIGGARD]

Insanely awesome!

[@jdavis882]

I noticed that too. What a ridiculous time piece.

[@WarpedHorizon]

Note to self- air down for the logs. Glen Green had minimal air in his tires, the grip he had in the logs is amazing.

[@090faller]

I wish I still had my 78 f350. I only had 429 but with a blower and three big carburetor sit made over 1700 ft lbs but wasn't nearly as clean.

[@ps3fanboy1885]

That guy in the f350 gave errrrr romp it buddy

[@47MasoN47]

Stinks that you had some bad luck on this one. Hope the rest of the event went better!

[@alexnelson09]

He doesn't wanna scratch the body, these Volkswagen 4x4's are really rare .... Same guy cut out fenders carelessly and completely haha

[@pegalis]

These are snippets of the event. If you want the full video, you can get it from Four Wheeler Magazine.

[@89brink50]

I want that black F350! Goddamn! lol

[@XXXGrimWolfXXX]

that is one bad ass F350

[@rottencheeseballs2496]

I love watching top truck challenge

[@jeffreyjcisler8714]

The Fords are always going to be number one

[@MTOM75]

I loved when that f350 went flying through the mud it reminded me of mudfreak79's early days

[@AF_PT]

9:44 "it was impressive to watch you guys work" too bad WE couldn't see it... thanks MotorTrend!

[@vihangakeshan1017]

I am loving this event :D

[@marrag1]

that Ford F-350 is using cheat codes lol

[@carytrav4749]

Bring TTC back
