Those four big tires you see peeking above the surface of a mucky little watering hole at some undisclosed location are attached to a pretty bitchin’ truck which became a pretty un-bitchin’ boat when the operator and a passenger tried to exit said “sippy hole”. Believe it or not, the truck actually traversed the water portion of the challenge perfectly. The driver was light on the throttle and the truck just kind of churned its way across the serene waters of the pond. It was when the driver and his passenger (along with Fido) tried to climb their way out of the water when things went sideways…or boobs up as the case may be here.
Like in all of these videos that we show with trucks flipping over in the water, once the rig gets the least bit off kilter, the occupants are pretty much doomed to suffer a trip to Davy Jones’ locker despite their best efforts. In this case, the “best efforts” are jettisoning his passenger and literally hanging off the passenger side door in an attempt to counteract the inevitable. At the last second as the truck begins the final movement to the upside down position, the driver grabs his dog by the collar and gives him/her the ol’ heave-ho into the water. About a second later, the truck has been converted into an iceberg with a little bit of itself above the water and the vast majority below.
There’s a guy filming from the water’s edge the whole time providing some level of nervous commentary and he uses a few choice words so IF SWEARING OFFENDS YOU DO NO WATCH THIS…OR AT LEAST TURN THE SOUND OFF.
You can actually hear the guy say something to the effect of, “The first time out..” like the dude just finished building this truck and sunk it on the first time he had it in the wild. That would truly suck. Then there’s the recovery effort which will take a crane of some sort unless he doesn’t mind the thing getting completely mangled on its way out of the watery grave. After that you can pretty much plan on having to strip the truck bare and start again on stuff like the motor, wiring, and well….everything. Ungh.
Today’s BangShift PSA – DO NOT FLOAT YOUR BIG TRUCKS, IT NORMALLY ENDS IN DISASTER.

This is the “Goodfellows” or “Shawshank Redemption ” of videos…the more you play it the better it gets. The sad part is these two idiots may have kids now. The dog was the smartest of the bunch.
Asshole deserves it for the way he flung that dog.
This is what happens when you let the truck stall in a landing attempt. The doofus should have put the pedal to the metal and easily reached dry land. But the worst thing about this video is the futile attempt to pass off the world’s longest ever and wettest fart as “Exhaust Noise”….
Sounded like me after a rude night at Taco Bell!
