    And speaking of "arm on door", that's a rather foolish rookie mistake that belies the apparent experience of the driver. That's what "oh sh*t" handles are for. You never put anything outside the cage, and if there is any chance of a violent role, all occupants MUST be holding onto either the OSH or their 5 point harness straps. Anything less risks angular momentum throwing your arm out to get crushed. There was an outing where a Toy conversion driven by an experienced wheeler who had brought his girlfriend along. He didn't warn/watch her, or she didn't listen. It wasn't pretty, and involved a life-flight. I never heard, but if she still has that hand, I doubt it's functional...

    The video of the truck on the side of a cliff is an rc truck and I am 100% sure of it, I have rc trucks like this myself and have spent countless hours scouring rc groups on Facebook and the web so they stick out to me now in videos and pics where they are trying to make it look real. This guy did do a good job tho but I assure you it's an rc truck.

    Also you can see the body post holes on the hood on each side of the hood scoop ( looks like they aren't being used tho), and the top of the body posts sticking thru on the roof right behind the "cargo bag" on the roof rack.

    Fair enough, sure good enough to fool me. I've seen RC trucks of that sort, and never saw one that moved as seemingly realistic as that one.

    They're getting extremely realistically scale nowadays. To people who aren't familiar with certain parts and stuff like that it's very hard to tell when the right care is taken with the camera angles.

    You'd still think there would be some scratches and dirt and things from rollovers.

    The roads in England are getting worse. We have to drive on roads like this daily. Looks like a B road to me. Ring the council and they will patch it up (in six months) good as new.
