Brave Off-Roaders Try to Conquer the Bounty Hole!

Off-road tests don’t come much more difficult to master than the Bounty Hole Challenge. Hosted by Barnyard All Terrain, this epic obstacle course in Livermore, Maine is simply made of a straight line. But that straight line has about three to four feet of sticky and sloppy mud. As you can see in the video below, several off-roaders were hopeful to make it across, but there were just two options: skim over the top of the mud with fat tires and a light body, or dig down in with a big lift, but tall and skinny tires.

Apparently, the way to master this course is to be light and wide. The trucks with the fat tires seem to glide over the top of the bog. While slow and steady might win some races, it won’t win this one. The last clip shows a Jeep TJ with a massive lift trying its hardest to get across the bog. So what do you think? Will the Jeep make it across like the earlier light-trucks? Will it slowly but surely make it out of the bounty hole? Watch and see!
