I know it's been a while, but we've been doing some fine tuning of the cooling system, working on the steering column, wiring among many other things. We did however take the time to test out how well the Pit Bull tires hold up in the snow and test the revamped cooling system... Enjoy!!!

I hate to be the doucehbag here, but did you have permission to be in the fields? looks like just corn fields so a little less important but in my town there is a big organically raised sheep farm, and a couple times guys have headed in to the fields and ended up getting taken to court for it cops actually investigated it until they found out who it was, because once the fields get torn up they cant let the sheep graze there again until after the fields are re-planted etc because of the polution from the tires etc in the fields. I know...I know...really dumb, but just wanted to check because if not you might wnat to think about taking the videos down

Even if they had appoval ... No industry supporting company should be producing videos of Jeeps tearing up corn fields. TreadLightly works its a@@ off to try and dispel the notion that all we do is destroy the land and this video gives the tree hugers one more example to use against us!

I am disapointed to see this posted by a company in the offroad comunity, obviously a company that does not get it...

I love it its badass! Its probably there's and if so i don't care what they do to there property.. If not there problem not mine...the field will likely be plowed and fertilized yet anyway.... But anyway back on topic. This thing is still one of my favorites, cant wait to see more!

Get it out of the corn field and onto the pavement and do a nice smokey burnout! Looks like it'll be a rocket ship with that diesel!

So here is the scoop.

Those fields are a buddy of our's....they are being plowed in spring and with all the frost RattleTrap didn't even leave ruts, so there was 0 damage to the land.

Thanks for the concern but rest assured we here appreciate what the good Lord has given us and we do our best to not misuse it when wheelin.

You can clearly see that the corn has been cut and before anymore crop will be planted they will plow the fields over. Living in the middle of corn fields I understand tearing up a farmers crop. Rattletrap didnt hurt anything in this video except the ozone with black smoke... Haha!
