Massive vehicles, huge wheels, loud engines and lots of mud
This is the intense and dirty world of mega mud trucks. The adrenaline rush is like no weather. It's unbelievable
We have different events at every event. It's to be the tire pull
There's hill and hole event. That's where we jump the truck. Cross three hills is a timed event
It will also be mud drags where we're in the mud, side-by-side drag racing
It's better than any drug. An avid fan of mega-truck events, Ryan Camp from Georgia, USA, felt he could no longer stay on
the sidelines and decided to have his own competition standard vehicle built so he could take part himself
That original truck is just a two drive lowrider street truck bought it over in South Carolina I made about a four drive Basically there and back bought the truck
Took it to BMFAB. They began the process of starting the chassis
It took a whole year and an outlay of $80,000 for his $650 mega truck to be finished
It's a 1950 Chevrolet, a full-body truck, it's all still. It has a 540 blower motor
It's a 1271 BDS street blower. Runs on alcohol. It's got two and a half ton axles front and rear
It has 20-inch travel Scott Shocks. Those are the 136-26BKT-171s. They've been cut and scoop for more traction
The rims are powder-coated with a metallic finish. It's got the full roll cage, a five-point harness
special seats everything about them safety is definitely number one priority Despite the extensive safety features Ryan wife Brittany still has her concerns As his wife I always his number one fan
When we were at West Georgia Mud Park a couple weeks ago, they were just out playing around
They had done a jump. And when he landed, he landed on two wheels
And that is probably the most nerve-wracking thing is just knowing that there is a possibility that they could flip
So far, Ryan has taken a way. Ryan has taken part in eight competitions
And today, he's driving at Trucks Gone Wild at Bithlow Mud Racing in Florida, USA
Even before the event has begun, his vehicle is attracting attention. Very unique truck, one of a kind, beautiful paint job, beautiful truck, nice craftsmanship
I think it's beautiful. I've always loved older model vehicles. I see one all jacked up with all the different equipment that you don't see on other vehicles
But it won't stay clean and stuff. shiny for long as Ryan prepares to today event We have different events at every event This one happens to be the tire pull This is the trial truck challenge There will be a three truck team
We're two seconds off the leader, so right now we're in second place
So that's a great day overall. It was awesome run. The teammates did great
It was perfect. But the end of the competition isn't the end of Fryehan's Day with his pride and joy
As soon as I get home, I try to wash it as quick as I can. It comes off a little bit easier
The pressure washing process and all, I mean, it can take anywhere for three to four hours to get it cleaned up
This truck will never be for sale. It's just something I've dreamed of and I have a year of my life and time and money involved in
I'll hang on to that one and give it to my son
