00:00.000 --> 00:13.500
Massive vehicles, huge wheels,
loud engines and lots of mud

00:13.500 --> 00:23.880
This is the intense and dirty world of mega mud trucks.
The adrenaline rush is like no weather. It's unbelievable

00:23.880 --> 00:28.560
We have different events at every
event. It's to be the tire pull

00:30.000 --> 00:36.120
There's hill and hole event. That's where we jump
the truck. Cross three hills is a timed event

00:36.120 --> 00:41.240
It will also be mud drags where we're
in the mud, side-by-side drag racing

00:41.240 --> 00:51.460
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

00:51.460 --> 00:58.080
the sidelines and decided to have his own competition
standard vehicle built so he could take part himself

00:58.080 --> 01:08.360
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

01:08.360 --> 01:13.760
Took it to BMFAB. They began the
process of starting the chassis

01:13.760 --> 01:20.160
It took a whole year and an outlay of $80,000
for his $650 mega truck to be finished

01:20.160 --> 01:28.860
It's a 1950 Chevrolet, a full-body truck,
it's all still. It has a 540 blower motor

01:29.460 --> 01:37.900
It's a 1271 BDS street blower. Runs on alcohol.
It's got two and a half ton axles front and rear

01:39.540 --> 01:49.240
It has 20-inch travel Scott Shocks. Those are the
136-26BKT-171s. They've been cut and scoop for more traction

01:50.600 --> 01:56.940
The rims are powder-coated with a metallic finish.
It's got the full roll cage, a five-point harness

01:56.940 --> 02:11.720
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

02:11.720 --> 02:15.720
When we were at West Georgia Mud Park a couple
weeks ago, they were just out playing around

02:15.720 --> 02:21.720
They had done a jump. And when he
landed, he landed on two wheels

02:21.720 --> 02:27.720
And that is probably the most nerve-wracking thing is just
knowing that there is a possibility that they could flip

02:27.720 --> 02:33.000
So far, Ryan has taken a way. Ryan
has taken part in eight competitions

02:33.760 --> 02:38.960
And today, he's driving at Trucks Gone
Wild at Bithlow Mud Racing in Florida, USA

02:39.720 --> 02:49.780
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

02:50.820 --> 02:58.480
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

02:59.200 --> 03:11.320
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

03:35.080 --> 03:42.940
We're two seconds off the leader,
so right now we're in second place

03:42.940 --> 03:47.540
So that's a great day overall. It was
awesome run. The teammates did great

03:47.540 --> 03:53.320
It was perfect. But the end of the competition isn't
the end of Fryehan's Day with his pride and joy

03:53.320 --> 03:57.080
As soon as I get home, I try to wash it as
quick as I can. It comes off a little bit easier

03:57.080 --> 04:02.760
The pressure washing process and all, I mean, it can take
anywhere for three to four hours to get it cleaned up

04:02.760 --> 04:09.260
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

04:09.340 --> 04:10.800
I'll hang on to that one
and give it to my son
