Tank Trap Part One
This is the event most Top Truck Challenge competitors anxiously await-or dread. The Tank Trap is a quarter-mile-long course designed to force each competitor to fight for every inch of forward progress. The Tank Trap is a standard feature at the Hollister Hills SVRA, but for TTC, it’s modified to our specs using heavy equipment and water. As in previous years, Tank Trap (located in a deep, natural valley) had an approximate 195-foot climb in elevation from start to finish. Due to water restrictions from the 2014 California drought, we had to cut back on the number of water holes, though we used the same numbering system as in previous years. A few yards into the course, competitors had to navigate the 5-foot-deep Water Hole 2. From there, they entered the infamous 100-yard-long “Canyon” that contained steep rock walls in excess of 7 feet in height, slippery steep rock waterfalls, nasty ledges, and generally inhospitable terrain. If they made it through the Canyon, it was onto Water Hole 3 and then a series of deep, slippery, dry climbs and descents. Provided they were still moving, they came fact-to-face with the deep, off-camber “Crevice” before dropping into Water Hole 6 and Water Hole 7.

[@Kactapuss]

You guys did a great job with this series covering in detail all parts of wheeling. The explanation by experts regarding technique, engines, suspension, etc while cars are stuck is well done. Thanks for not just showing a 'highlights reel' actually taking the time to cover the 'boring' stuff!

[@o0bananaman0o]

this series is a hidden gem! accidentally clicked on it now I'm hooked. thoroughly entertaining :)

[@MotorTrendWatch]

o0bananaman0o That's great to hear! Check out our main Motor Trend Channel page; we've got diverse and original content galore.

[@SuperLonewolf25]

+o0bananaman0o I'm the same way. I love this series and love Roadkill series.

[@jayda-santos4721]

+o0bananaman0o ME TO

[@gabebishop9869]

+o0bananaman0o welcome to the club

[@wonderful8293]

Ha me too!

[@ldmcnutt]

And the plot thickens! The only thing remains constant is that Stan Pruett is still high on coke and thinks he's Crocodile Dundee.

[@hadrianwall8621]

fkn hilarious. I was going to post something, but how can I top that perfect description. LMFAO

[@emilymolyneux9975]

Larz ii

[@changinglanes7091]

Can ya blame the guy? This is like watching politics! If it wasn't for his coke addiction, he'd probably drop dead from boredom!

[@changinglanes7091]

Wow. I didn't think you could possibly make any car or truck competition boring...But lo and behold, here we have a truck competition that's more snooze-worthy than golf!

[@revrend2]

Dear Even Coordinator.....If the engine was hydrolocked, it wouldn't even turn over. Thank You, Sincerely, anyone with automotive experience.

[@barneybongo1212]

That's exactly what I was thinking, trying to start it wouldn't get you far

[@kevinmccluskey4311]

My thoughts too lol

[@l337pwnage]

I guess, technically, by definition, you are correct. If its turns over, it's not "locked". But "hydrolocked" is easier to say than "the engine appears to be suffering from excess water intrusion into the combustion chamber".

[@TheAirforce14]

he would have to pull all 8 spart plugs and manually roll the crank over so you dont spit that water in the cyclinders all over the elctrical ....once 95 precent empty roll over with the starter for about 10 seconds then reinstall the plugs and and try and start it altho befor trying to start it id pull the dipstick for the oil and see if any water managed to push past the rings and leak in to the crank case becuse even if you could start it being most guys have 10gs or more in to motor it wouldnt be to smart to run that engine or any engine with any kinda water in crank case

[@Djumpps]

Call me old fashion but seems like the trucks are only doing about half the work. Seems like its more a race of who can run a cable to the wench point first.

[@stlchucko]

Seriously, lose the inflatable pool toys. Only Roadkill could get away with stuff like that... And this certainly isn't Roadkill.

[@FleetofFords4x44]

yeah whats up with that? where did they find that guy? they couldve done better. lots of canadians this year. guess thats why only a ford could get through the trap

[@BeachJedi101]

Top Truck is my favorite show on youtube.

[@ericheydenreich2846]

Right on, the tank trap lives up to it's name! Thanks again for sharing this video!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

[@D3thM3tal]

That early Bronco straight up works - NP435 FTW!

[@TheNunez40]

That lil tire helped lmao!

[@matthewtroop555]

I loved that Dodge. I was really hoping that it would win.

[@bluej360]

What's up with the metal mulisha decal on the guy with the 91 ford's helmet?

[@perception-reception]

I loved the first guys idea to use a wheel on the roof to keep his rig off that canyon wall although should've been a little bigger

[@iant720]

Beats me why you wouldn't have upswept exhaust, granted all is fine if it's submerged under WOT, but... Soon as you stall like number 2... Then you get a water logged engine!

[@MrThunderMonky]

This should just be called "Top Wench Challenge"

[@kleinbottled79]

Sausage party. No wenches.

[@AnontheGOAT]

You mean "Top Winch"

[@MrThunderMonky]

onishchuk4 ha yeah LOL winch. Thx!

[@tyroane6281]

If u wanna be the fastest I have seen anything pull faster than a warn 8274 with dual motors like Tracker.

[@K3NnY_G]

Why do you keep cutting over someone getting out of something? 14:50

[@keihirosan3486]

The bronco is awesome!

[@AntonSander]

Sucks the Kelowna guys didn't make it all the way! I've seen that truck a few times IRL before, beast of a Ford!

[@biro24]

This is brilliant to watch 😃😃😃

[@SupremeDiggie]

Awesome video!!

[@fellowship_of_the_goat]

Man I feel bad for Electric Lettuce. Possibly the worst place that you could lose rear steer

[@alexiron1778]

They should utilize their beadlockers by lowering their psi

[@MrAlonz48]

great announcer i really enjoyed him

[@calladutyplayerson2174]

This was just a winching contest.

[@theclagaryboy]

you gotta love the canadians with the biggest trucks and the led feet. when in mud give her the beens

[@OGHATERSINC]

After watching the 2014 event I now know why they ended TTC.

[@neurotoksin]

"If you are dumb you gotta be tough" LOL he flipped TWO time.....

[@bergerone3]

Because his rear steering was working against him. Not his fault, total bad luck.

[@MrBlurberries]

Shit luck. The Ram was one of the best rigs there.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

MrBlurberries It was a shame, given how well he'd done throughout the competition. Surely would've placed strong had it not been for this event.

[@neurotoksin]

bergerone3 Yeah I agree, he was a favorite contender of mine.....

[@romanroadsb]

He either controls the rear steer or figures out whats wrong, you dont just gun it right in to the same situation. His fault not bad luck.

[@keltingr2612]

These people are Rookies!! Water in their exhaust lmbo!

[@JerOutlaw]

I take it there was no mud pit this year due to the drought?

[@lotteclaes3321]

Hello There, Sweet! effect exchange What's your opinion about it, guys

[@joshnevins7861]

Hey anyone have any toturials or anything to help a guy like me water proof his car because im turning an old chevy blazer into a pond crawler any ideas for anyone here?

[@wkeil1981]

Canadian TTC

[@chapofreshcobar]

Nice videos

[@whoatemytoast8602]

I don’t know if this show has gotten better or worse since 2000

[@Winimidia]

What do they do to get the cars out of the canyon?

[@AmericanThunder]

4:40 kind of a scabby looking weld on that cage! Camera is zoomed right in on it, too. lol

[@JessicaTG2008]

Its not hydrolocked know it all, if it were, it wouldn't crank at all, it would be, well... locked.

[@snackpup]

disgusting when the host said wenching was the best part of the show just no

[@user-wt4qt9rj9n]

สุดยอด

[@indiangiver1120]

They need to make the hole less deep and the departures less steep... I could winch my couch through this corse

[@FireFiveStar]

i just realized trap and part are the same word spelled backwards.

[@seanb112209]

personally it dosnt look like they deflate their tires enough

[@agoodyz]

i wonder why noone has ever tried using the tatoe tracks

[@ewewerwe4342]

Some people have all the fun.

[@TheHouseOfMasks]

what is the small wheel for on the top of the dodge? the only thing i can think is for "moving ability" when it hits a tipping point...like it would help the side ways truck roll...but wouldnt they want one on each side?

[@trancetm13]

im assuming to keep the drivers side from falling flat, so he doesnt get squeeshed too bad

[@shawnmcnew3390]

It says it in the video. F

[@yerwrng]

Trance Me It was explained in the video ...but for the hearing impared here's a ferebie ...That tire is there for the tank trap so when the truck goes into the wedge that tire rolls along side the wall instead of the truck just digging in and not moving that's why it's only on the driver side ...watch the video again you will see it kind of work as it hits the wall .

[@TheHouseOfMasks]

not everyone watches this with volume enabled....im at work, means no volume, douche.

[@yerwrng]

You Douche at work ?

[@samrolfe2224]

No spare Spark plugs?

[@danielrogel4623]

Where is this at and when does it come around I wanna take my son there?

[@Marple18]

Are there many volunteers for ttc? is it hard to get on as one?

[@mitchellhalvorson9719]

These guys have some of the most built trucks and they winch up freakin everything and somehow manage to break on every run. Its rediculous

[@NavySeals555]

anyone else think tim cameron should try this?

[@charlesbeans2398]

He should bring his rock bouncer and show all these guys up

[@AscendingBliss]

That Branco was a fucking beast.

[@Scribles]

awsome

[@christianramos3689]

GO Bronco!

[@shadowfolfy]

My bro loves dis vid

[@mfrippin2]

Don't you mean Top Winch challenge?

[@stinkbandit]

Right now, some little girl is staring at her pool with tears in her eyes wondering what happened to Sammy The Swan.

[@scottclark2505]

what happens if the time limit is met and the rig is say half way up? obviously they get a dnf for that event but how does the truck get out of the tank trap to let the others keep going? love these videos and this channel. keep up the good work everyone....more roadkill

[@stephenbarba8860]

Scott Clark

[@charleshung8519]

ive never seen so many rigs break down for completely odd ball reasons

[@datguy807]

i would put the raditor behind the cab !! ??

[@RaptorDude64]

I live near myrtle creek!

[@bismillahmashallah]

That ram was my favorite :(

[@semipopper237]

Why were inflatable toys on the track?

[@dancellana6002]

I want to see King sling do this

[@4wheelonline]

"Waterproof is essential."

[@FLSTF87]

Damn. Ford C6 is a great auto trans. Too bad it let go in the tank trap.

[@Arthurzeiro]

Man that international Scout, after drowning sounded just like a VW beetle.

[@ramairgto72]

Prob had the power of one as well.

[@christianfitzgerald1435]

lol really though XD

[@user-hq2py7gc3h]

على وبأي 🚫

[@troopin]

5:31 check out that welding!

[@bootlip11]

Haha. Looks like bird shit

[@jmendoza328]

That announcer has quite the demanding job with all that running and stuff.

[@steveskouson9620]

OK, the "dodge" has a Chevy big block, and a TH 350? What part of "Not dodge" does that equal? 100% maybe? Would you be so kind, as to peel off the green Mopar sticker, and install a "bowtie" please? steve

[@tannerross6015]

Calm down "Steve" the axles under the Chevy aren't Chevy made, so put a Rockwell sticker on the hood please.

[@steveskouson9620]

Badlands RC Axles? Who is running "stock" axles? A "dodge" with a chevy engine and transmission? A 440, 426, or a 413 Wedge aren't good enough? A 727 isn't bulletproof enough? Really? steve

[@casada70]

Steve Skouson They wouldnt be running a chevy engine and tranny setup if they werent superior to ford/dodge.

[@kjorepo]

Guys, The Dodge had a 512 stroker Mopar fuel injected. It was not a chevy. Here is a link to the build sheet. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152719923485873&set=pcb.10152719923955873&type=1&theater

[@kjorepo]

Urban Survivors Mopar 512 dyno run

[@Butters69Channel]

So what's stopping me from doing this in a 3" lifted jeep wrangler on 33" tires with lockers and a winch?

[@blakebowen4596]

Nothing, nothing is stopping you

[@jaredwilson3264]

Is everyone in this Canadian?

[@Underpantsniper]

that f-250 looks boss....

[@wahidtrynaheghugh260]

Your bronco had cancer?

[@ZeeBri]

Up until now I woulda said Inglis easily had the best truck.

[@ieatass42069]

That last mud hole looks damn near impossible

[@FJ55ironpig]

Bass ass Great tough truck this year

[@ryanhansen8031]

commentator ruined the video. I want to see and hear the truck.

[@300bhpton]

Do you guys ever consider running a diesel motor? Water always seems to get the V8's, even the water proofed ones.

[@MontyPython12]

That's one thing I keep asking myself, why not a big diesel motor? A straight pipe Cummins would sound awesome

[@Khancen]

MontyPython12 There are plenty of vehicles that have ran diesels in previous years of TTC, none of them did that great. Even one with a Cummins that I have personally wheeled with in east Texas.

[@Chris-sn3sj]

Simple, diesels are big and heavy as well as more expensive to run

[@jogagnon7722]

Diesels are way too heavy and cost too much to get power out of

[@nickconner8428]

dose anyone think that scout got a little screwed over by this course.

[@MrBlurberries]

The Ram got it even worse.

[@FleetofFords4x44]

the scout shouldnt have had a dodge motor..dumb. the dodge guy even knew better than to run a mopar engine. only a ford made it haha.

[@kjorepo]

FleetofFords4x4 Excuse me, the Dodge had a 512 stroker Mopar fuel injected. You guys need to learn your motors.

[@kjorepo]

FleetofFords4x4 But we did have a typical Ford Tranny go out....lol ...joking aside, All the makes and models did well, the competition is extremely tough, the videos don't do it justice and you are only seeing a fraction of the courses. That Challenge can kill any vehicle, it comes down to prep of the vehicle and skill of the drivers.....and some luck. :)

[@benrichard8035]

Urban Survivors and you should learn you engine from motors motor are electric and engine are gas

[@jamezz3536]

If it’s hydrolocked it’s not even going to turn over

[@lanceroark6386]

What happened...dude looks away to answer so no one could hear.

[@TheExtremeCube]

canadians talk so weird haha, its a pretty cool accent. It kinda reminds me of irish in a way, am I the only one?

[@Kremithefrog1]

They talk weird but not f'n irish

[@OverTheTop94]

What did the Bronco guy mean when he said his truck is a cancer survivor?

[@BigMuddyCountry]

Amado Chalhoub means that it was rusted through but they rebuilt it.

[@OverTheTop94]

Damn, nice looking rig! Thanks Dude.

[@enja001]

water is where diesels excel

[@gasperajdnik5627]

Nicee

[@McGoofbalProductions]

They all used winches, seems like the course was a little too hard, why make a course where everybody has to winch, that's no fun to watch.....

[@donnymayesjr.3200]

[@qasimnasir1811]

wouldn't this be much easier with a bike? :p

[@AlexandreHimself]

why you dont buy an helicopter ?

[@gilmarandrebritolopes8672]

fala

[@brownshit1]

Shouldn't contestants get penalised for using a winch? Kinda defeats the whole purpose, right? It's no longer the vehicle doing the work, it's the winch.........

[@kop4321]

Not really, winching slows you down. If you can get through it without resorting to a winch you've got a big advantage in time. No need to penalize.
