My understanding is some of the stages will require winching up, trials truck or not

But is Ryans call, its his show

Re: Costa Plenty 24 Hour Tough Truck Challenge.
i wasnt saying i can drive everything, but if one guy has a good winch and is capable of pulling 2 trials trucks (because they are light) surely it aint a problem?
Re: Costa Plenty 24 Hour Tough Truck Challenge.
I'm in for this one, just gonna rally up two more trucks...
Re: Costa Plenty 24 Hour Tough Truck Challenge.
Sounds intersting, what sort of 4wheeling are you thinking this will involve??
Farm tracks?
Trials style hazards??
Winch Challenge type timed stages??
Or some thing kooler????
