That would be epic! Drive directly from the trail to the beach.

Surely Island redneck Cruiserheads would become legends and the story of titanic would be retold around campfires by generation after generation forever.

You're already a legend Joe!

BRING IT ROCKSTAR !!!

P.S. To the nay sayers, non-believers, and web wheelers, I say

 

[JoeCanadian]

if you watch the vid you will see more flashing of another cam. that is the cam with all the good pics, and i cant get ahold of the dude

 

[JoeCanadian]

about the name? i was rethinking it. my rebuilt frame didnt brake in 2, so i think titanic is not quight right, but "the screeming green submarine" would be more sutable. what do you guys think??? and anyone know how well the super swamper ltb R15 34" X 11.5" would run on a bj60 rig?

Names.

Deep six; Sinker; Under water exploration vehicle; Fish; Bubbles (um maybe not);Titanic is good.
Good luck getting it going again.

The only name for this truck is . . .

"Alvin," which went to the depths accidentally and returned to the surface for decades of useful duty.

 

[OGBeno]

Amazing.

Did this really happen?

Crazy stuff in this world indeed.

Congrats on the recovery (though how you got your truck there in the first place is completely beyond me).

What about

LEVIATHAN
Isn't that something about an ancient beast that someday will return from the dephts of the ocean to once again wreak havoc on earth?
on the recovery!

[calphi27]

where are the action vids???

 

[Dazza]

I think those 34x11.50 swampers would rock your 60, as long as you have a lift, probably 3"-4" or so for 34's... Traction like you wouldn't believe

so the Beast runs fine, just something going on with the fuel cut solinoid relay. But i think i'll just run a cable to it, that would be more my style. not many with a 100% manual fuel cut off. and as for the new tires, i'll just run the ones i have till they blow then do the SOA and tires, mabe new spring, might just run them till they brake though.

thats incredible. Are there other vehicles out there you could do that to and have it running again a few days later?

Is The Beast the new name? I think it has earned it.

Nice work man, lookin forward to the photo essay.
