i didnt watch the whole video but just take some snips and cut off the barb wire, my truck gets beaten up, skid plates are dented, steel frame by gas tank bent in, chipped to hell, scratched up.. was in a rush going out of town for a 2k mile trip so took it to firestone for an oil change, the mech was amazed how beat up the botton of my truck was at only 22k miles... its a truck, you use them, you abuse them and then you buy a new one... my truck will never be a pavement queen....if i wanted a fancy truck id have bought a tundra...

RamIt, you have to watch the whole thing to appricate the severity of the abuse. Cutting the barb wire won't do anything for that truck. It's a short video. You should watch the whole thing. The air filter, the body damage, the rim that was ground down to nothing, the mirror, the exhaust... It's like a slayer movie

I bet that was a recovered stolen vehicle ... probably taking the video for Insurance purposes. If it were my truck, I'd wrap the barbed wire around someone's kneck for sure.

Umm, u can tell it has been mudded hardcore. You can tell he got it stock hella good, the barb waire is probly him going over some1 fince to mudd on their land. The back ranchhand bumper is bent up making me think that is where they first try/did pull it out.

In the secound video u can see how high the water got in the truck.
