Ok BII guys, therei s a small bet going on between I and a fellow club member.
This members truck is a 78 ford on a d60 front, locked with 70 rear locked. On 42 swampers. 460, c6.... etc
Here is the agreement as posted by him. this originated becuase I claim I can wheel these two trails on 30 a/ts. No one seems to think its doable, so here is the bet.
fyi. Donnie, is me.

fyi. Donnie, is me.
Hopefully I can win this bet and gain a name for the RBV family amongst this certain club.The agreement:
Donnie will drive a Bronco II with 30” AT (All Terrain) tires. The rear end is locked/welded. The front end is open. He can be pulled backwards at any point, and this counts as one strap, regardless of distance. If Donnie is pulled forwards, the “amount of straps” will be calculated as follows: One strap = being pulled from 1” (one inch) up to 35’ (thirty five feet). 36’ to 71’ pulls equal two straps, etc.
Trail Routes, Bypass Questions:
I agree to “run the trail the way I always do.” I will not take bypasses that I normally do not take, and I will not take “more difficult lines” than I normally take. Determining this may be somewhat difficult. Donnie rode with me on this trail in January, and I don’t remember doing anything “out of my normal routine” on that ride. You have my word on this aspect of the ride. Donnie is to follow me on my “normal route” through the trails with two exceptions:
A) Beard Rock: Donnie may attempt the rock at any line he wishes; he does not have to go the way I choose to go.
B) Creek Crossing at Quarry: Donnie may climb the bank at any angle, at any line he wishes; He does not have to go the way I choose to go.
Questions people may have:
A) What if I break down?---The bet is still on, another capable rig will take the lead, and the ride continues.
B) Why are there different rules for Donnie’s rig & my rig?---I have been to this trail many times, I have pulled other rigs off the trail, and have never been pulled off this trail in the Ford truck. I have nothing left to prove on this trail, and anything can fail on a trail rig. Do I expect Buford to break down? Of course not, but shiznit happens, and most failures aren’t planned.
How the winner is determined:
Donnie wins if he completes Beard/Quarry under his own power being strapped eleven (11) times or less. I pay Donnie $200 cash, on this date.
I win if Donnie is strapped twelve (12) or more times, (or) Donnie’s vehicle breaks/cannot be repaired in an hour and is unable to complete the trail under it’s own power. Donnie pays me $200 cash or signs the title of the '80 F-250 on this date
