Motor-mad Ryan Camp transformed an old pick-up truck into the ULTIMATE racing vehicle. Ryan decided to build his own mud truck after attending events and watching other drivers compete. His truck, Sick 50 Mega Truck, can jump over hills and race through four-feet deep mud.The 429 stone truck started life as an old 1950 Chevrolet full body truck. It took Ryan, 35, from Georgia, USA, a year to complete his dream mud truck.

00:00It's going to be exciting.
00:09Massive vehicles, huge wheels, loud engines and lots of mud.
00:13This is the intense and dirty world of Mega Mud Trunks.
00:17The adrenaline rush is like no other.
00:23It's unbelieveable.
00:26We have different events at every event.
00:28There's hill and hole events, that's where we jump the truck, cross three hills as a
00:35timed event.
00:36There will also be mud drags where we're in the mud, side by side drag racing.
00:41It's better than any drug.

01:27It has a 540 blower motor, it's a 1271 BDS street blower, runs on alcohol.
01:35It's got two and a half ton axles, front and rear.
01:40Has 20 inch travel Scott shocks, these are the 13-6-26BKT-171s, they've been cut and
01:48scooped for more traction.
01:50The rims are powder coated with a metallic finish.
01:54It's got the full roll cage, five point harnesses, special seats, everything about them, safety
02:01is definitely number one priority.
02:03Despite the extensive safety features, Ryan's wife Brittany still has her concerns.
02:09As his wife I'm always his number one fan.
02:12When we were at West Georgia Mud Park a couple of weeks ago, they were just out playing around,
02:16they had done a jump and when he landed, he landed on two wheels and that is probably
02:22the most nerve wracking thing is just knowing that there is a possibility that they could flip.
02:30So far, Ryan has taken part in eight competitions and today he's driving at Trucks Gone Wild
02:36at Bithlow Mud Racing in Florida, USA.
02:40Even before the event has begun, his vehicle is attracting attention.
02:44Very unique truck, one of a kind, beautiful paint job, beautiful truck, nice craftsmanship.
02:50I think it's beautiful, I've always loved older model vehicles, you can see one all
02:54jacked up with all the different equipment that you don't see on other vehicles.
02:59But it won't stay clean and shiny for long as Ryan prepares for today's event.
03:05We have different events at every event, this one happens to be the tire pull, this is the
03:08tri truck challenge, there will be a three truck team.
03:20We're two seconds off the leader, so right now we're in second place, so that's a great
03:44day overall, it was an awesome run, teammates did great, it was perfect.
03:49But the end of the competition isn't the end of Ryan's day with his pride and joy.
03:53As soon as I get home, I try to wash it as quick as I can, it comes off a little bit
03:56easier.
03:57The pressure washing process and all that, it can take anywhere from three to four hours
04:00to get it cleaned up.
04:03This truck will never be for sale, it's just something I've dreamed of and I have a year
04:07of my life and time and money involved in.
04:09I'll hang on to that one and give it to my son.
