I get what everyone is saying about it probably being insanely complicated to wheel the rock dawg, but I'm thinking about how fun it would be once you have a handle on it. Generally a lot of hard obstacles have pretty much one solution, but with that rig every obstacle has almost infinite solutions because you can change so many variables on the rig.
Just like all rigs its going to have a learning curve. A bit more than most, but like you said once you got it down the opportunities for bigger and harder obstacles will be there.
The rock Dawg buggy is just flat out cool! I do know that I would have a serious hard time driving it due to all the complications. I would love to see that buggy as a more regular vehicle on the channel. Happy New Year!!
Howdy howdy that was a f in rowdy vid, seeing all the diff types of rigs on your channel has just been awsome, jes u don't get enough thanks for what u do filiming 4 ppl like me thanks for truckin thoes mtns. Music / editing / everything was dialed to 100 this vid thanks a million 4 doing what u guys do. Hope next year brings nothing but the best for the wrecked fam amd friends crew, and heck yeah watching another game of crawl would awsome
buckle up your 4 point harnesses and hang on if 2024 is anything like how we brought in the new year its going to be a wild one!. Happy new year to you and the fam!.
Stuff happens. We had a kid graduate boot camp. So we bought a $2000 camera and huge lenses around 2004 or so. The morning of the ceremony we realized we had forgotten to charge any of the 8 batteries we bought. At the time they were stupid expensive and the Mrs was devastated. Lesson learned? Make a checklist for prep at home, checklist for trailhead, camper, truck. If you use the checklist you’ll be about 90% perfect. The other 10%??? We all have a slice of moron and /or idiot in us. Keep up the great vids, keep living the good life
You hit the nail on the head when you said Rox Dawg looks like an inch worm because that is exactly what I was thinking. Now, do you really need a rig like this? Maybe. Do you want a rig like this? Oh heck yea! Terrific video folks and yes, we would like to see a challenge between your rigs. Keep having fun and stay safe!
ha ha ha it totally went to Inch Worm mode. its a lot of rig to drive but its so cool to see something built so differently and work so well. showing that the mold dosnt have to be the same and shows that some of his ideas could be worked into the normal style rigs to push limits in the future. I dont think this is the rig for me. but man do I appreciate it and have so much fun wheeling with it.
I've operated all kinds of heavy equipment. I see the Rock Dog as the ultimate level of challenge and excitement. As a Jeeper, I would want to incorporate the Jeep body to the rig. That Dog kicks ass!!!
people I follow were invited to 24 hrs hell and back. I am not into rock crawling they say ( trail ) but looks like no one has been there or should not be. they went like a mile, One said, you could winch that in less than 24 hours. I had thoughts of something like your rock dog that could step over obstacles/ rocks. So happy to see you have done it. It looks like you could lead 24 hrs and not take that long to do it.
We were on 24 hell and back in AZ. My rig is the blue rear steer. the green one is my buddies. the trails they did in the 24hour hell and back takes us about an hour or so. we got little air time because we drove it so easy. But we have purpose build rigs and are pushing the limits of crawling. most the cars in 24 hell and back are road worthy witch is wild they can do the trails they have been doing. Just different levels of crawling.
The Rox Dawg is an amazing piece of engineering and is definitely not a mall crawler transformer. Thanks for sharing something a little different and Happy New Year!🍻
Pretty cool. I saw a hydro rig years ago. The guy made his with each wheel on a rod with no axle and could raise or lower each one . He made his to crawl in the rocks to. But I don't think his was as fast. Anyway anytime your out having fun outside is a good thing,
Been watching vids & reading mag articles of Abnormal for long time. Thanks for sharing this with us! He can definitely still get rowdy with the best of them! Thanks for always keeping rowdy 25/8 366 for us! 🤙🏻 I can’t wait for what 2024 will bring us!
We just brought in 2024 at JV and if the year goes anything like the way we brought in the new year its going to be absolutely nutts!!! But those harneses on and hang on!.
Haha we’ll allow you to make a mistake this once Jess 😂. This rig is so badass to see in action, thanks for continuing to show it in action and help understand how it can be so effective!
That thing reminds me of some of the technic Lego crawlers I made as a kid. No sarcastic thanks here Jess but real thanks for what you did get. We wouldn't have seen any of that if not for you.
If it had a computer controlled gyro/gembal that assisted with adjusting the center frame to keep it centered/neutral or lean uphill/downhill to shift weight and prevent tiping.... He can do that by hand it appears, but the reaction and hand controls are slower. If it was automated in just that sense it could be even more capable. Very interesting and unique and has some major advantages.
Ha ha you had me for a driving at 50 without you in it that was good. What’s up Bronson and Jess I like watching you and the rest of the normal rock crawlers and I like watching Rock Dog thrown in there for a variety. As usual I enjoyed the video Mucho. Until next time keep doing what you guys do I love it. Thanks again I’m out.👍👍👍👍🫡
Ha ha ha. I was hoping someone would appreciate that shot!. Thank you for always watching and enjoying our content!! You have no idea how much you watching and commenting keeps us going!.
Having all those extra tools at his disposal I'm sure makes it a super capable rig. But I bet the learning curve is steep, knowing when to do what when you have 4x as many things available to you. I don't think it's something your average joe could hop into and make use of effectively. Still badass. Gotta love awesome machines doing what they're built to do.
This thing is definitely cool don’t get me wrong but does doing the inch work technique really count when you are pushing or pulling the wheels up an obstacle? Is it really using the traction of the tires to drive up it?
If he is making it up the trail in the car under his rigs own power without winching I would say yes, but it is so different in how it works it does seem like its cheating. He made is advantages in the out side the box thinking.
He is still the only one pushing the limits with hydraulics. Just like rear steer, or tire size. People say its cheating until they get it. then they wonder why they hadn't done it before.
Na Jess you’re not dumb for forgetting your batteries everyone does it lol 😂 ! Definitely gotta get some portal axles one day though guys seems like that’s where you guys are probably heading with your rig by the looks of it 🤙🏾❤️😎
Not sold on portals just yet. I like the horse power and strength of the 40 splines. Plus we haven't found a trial we haven't been able to follow them on yet. Once they make some portals that can hold up to V8 power. I'm in.
I'm for sure if Alec is a robot or not, he looks pretty human. But the car is for sure just a excellently engineered rock crawler way ahead of its time.
The future of extreme off roading will be electric. The whole suspension would be new. No need to have "limits" of drive lines, u-joints, shocks, springs and so on. Electric wheel hub motors only need flexible wires. Totally new and unique systems can be built. The only "hold over" would be tires. Add some compute power and motorized suspensions, a toddler can drive over the absolute most extrema runs. ( The toddler could sleep as it would be a very smooth ride). And because it is electric, you won't need to worry about range or fuel. As solar panels and other forms of energy production could charge the off-road truck as needed. ( some tech is still out, but on its way ) Think of all the limits we off-roaders hit when building a flexy rock crawler. Most of those "limits" would be gone in an electric rock crawler. Keep in mind, the main cross over parts would be the tires, as everything on the e-Crawler would be "new" things.
I have legit been waiting for this. They just need to get the battery technology to where it could last a few trails. I would be the first one in line!.
He could probably put gyroscopic’s in it to automatically keep the cab level and the weight leaning the right direction . Then all you would have to do is extend and lift
He built one that was independent 4 wheels so you could place each wheel. Ended up being to much work controlling that much stuff. Maybe if you could work out a system that would balance the cab automatically while you control the wheelbase and width it would simplify it enough.
Nah, it's too complicated to be widely adopted IMHO. What would be awesome is the same vehicle with a computer that makes the adjustments on the fly. He should install portals.
If competition arrives for rock crawlers you are going to introduce regulations,which is a bad move takes all the fun out of it,but technology is creeping into the sport,this type of technology has been around for some time and is used in industrial application.safe rocking.
Yea man. Its just like "you can see in my safe but you can't have the combo" So its still protected. I'm sure glade that's what you took from this video.
@@WRECKEDGEAR lmao ok guy - thats not at all the same xD.. this is the internet someone with the right skillset can find this area in about 30 minutes just saying my g. wasnt meant to be mean or anything just thought it was funny I'm glad thats what you took from my comment - also stopped watching your video after you said that ;)
You know rock crawling if just that, crawling... These are not rock bouncers they're crawlers. And for any one that says since one is to slow in rock gardens or this level can just shut there trap. You go as slow as you want so you don't break nothing out in the middle of no where.. By the way this roxdog has been around for a very long time for any one who wants to know..
It has been around for a while and he wheels it almost 6 months out of the year at least 1-2 times a week all across the south-west. Its amazing how many people think its just a concept rig. Stoked to see there are some people who actually know how legit this build is! Thank you for the comment.
if you can climb every rock and trail then where is the fun , if anything it should be used for search and resque , i can see it being useful there , but as a crawler , yeah great .
I see what your saying. but that only holds true if your not finding bigger rocks. Alec has opened up countless trails paving the way for a lot of us to eventually do them.
We did the Hell & back in AZ in our blue rig that was under the abnormal rig. We run the AZ trails in less than 2 hours. The abnormal rig runs as fast if not faster than us!. Hell and back would be a parking lot for this rig, But the heart of hell and back is different rigs working together to make it through some tuff trails. I would also like to see him on there.
It is super loud. The way it drives is wild. It pretty much stays at a set RPM because the motor is only powering a massive hydrolic pump. and everything on it is powered by hydraulics. so its always crankin.
Was wondering who purchased all my broken heavy equipment I sold for parts 😂😂😂😂. Honestly I think it’s bad ass not any driver can manage all those levers 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
@@WRECKEDGEAR he has to be fluent in hydraulics to have assembled that machine . I often am repairing smaller heavy equipment and ponder how durable and useful some stuff would be for the trail
Its for sure a different style and my style if for sure simpler the better. Just so cool to see what someone can build. Alec is also a Pilot, I asked him what was easier to drive a plane or his crawler. He said a plane for sure lol.

This hydro rig is sweet! I can only image how long it took to get used to driving and using all its functions
It has so many options but the owner Alec plays this rig like a piano.
Making it cool is one thing, making it practical, tough and functional is exceptional and mind blowing. Well done sir, your are the master
He is an amazing mind and wheeler thats for sure.
Rock dog rocks for sure. Amazing vehicle. That inchworm move is legit.
Right!! I was blown away when he used his variable wheel base to push him up things. never would have thought about doing that.
I've operated all kinds of heavy equipment. I see the Rock Dog as the ultimate level of challenge and excitement. As a Jeeper, I would want to incorporate the Jeep body to the rig. That Dog kicks ass!!!
I agree I thing it would be sick with a jeep hood and grill at least.
Great to see Wild Bill out and an about doing W.B. thangs. 🤘🏼
RC wrecked gear buggy! 😂
We would freakin love to have a WG rc car!.. I know a guy and I think I should talk to him to see if we can get that in the works.
It’s awesome rig. It’s on its own level. Thanks for all the great videos hope you have an amazing 2024

He truly is. It takes a mind like this to show us what's possible.

I think that rig is badass I would love to see that rig out on trail an doing work like all the buggys do cause I'm amazed all the buggys do
It is mind-blowing to wheel with. The amount of brain power to make all the things work the way they do on his rig is absolutely amazing.
I don't know shit about crawling, but the hydraulic thing is sick. The wow factor is off the charts.
It is an incredible build and the best part is he keeps up with the best of them, so its legit.
This rig is a beast! Absolutely amazing build.
yeah it is🙌
This has got to be beyond the budget of mere mortals? Let’s hear some numbers
He did it reasonably due to being a wheat farmer and having some parts and building it all himself. its hard to say how much it cost.
Thank you for this video 👍🤙Great job.
You are so welcome!! thank you for watching!.
I think it’s faster over all and way less fwd backward and seems less damage. Really cool rig.
I agree. Trust me its tuff to follow him at the same speed.
Haha we’ll allow you to make a mistake this once Jess 😂. This rig is so badass to see in action, thanks for continuing to show it in action and help understand how it can be so effective!
We have such a blast wheeling with Alec. Its just crazy seeing such a non traditional rig do so well on the crazy stuff.
That thing reminds me of some of the technic Lego crawlers I made as a kid.
No sarcastic thanks here Jess but real thanks for what you did get. We wouldn't have seen any of that if not for you.

I agree!!! busted knuckle and I have talked about it . we just need to get the ball rolling.
@WRECKEDGEAR I comment the same thing in their channel 🤣 love those guys
I got to Ride in the sidewinder over 20 years ago Alec is a badass
That is so cool. Boy has his concepts changed sense then.
Amazing, reminds of a Menzi Muck
Ha ha ha right!.
Throwback to the late 90's when everybody was trying to innovate new stuff and create outlandish rigs.
He was doing it then and still doing it!.
Alec just unlocked the ultimate rock crawling cheat code
level 10 cheat mode engaged!
That Rock Dog is an awesome rig
So awesome!.
Have you heard about Chain link?
We have, also very cool rig.
This thing has been around for many years!
This one has been around for a few. but he has had 3 or 4 others generations that were not quite like this one.

You got a new subscriber because of this thing..
Thank you!! our Blue rig is not quite as wild but we do some seriously awesome high level rock crawling. I think you might enjoy
When heavy equipment drivers build rock crawlers for sure want to build one
That's exactly what he said. there is so much parts and availability in heavy equipment and they are extremely dependable he said it just makes sense.
Amazing engineering.
Takes a special person to think this far out of the box and then make it work like it does.
Wonder if he got some inspiration from Spider Excavators, amazing machines, crazy expensive@@WRECKEDGEAR
Secret trail? I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours.

That was a sick level up!! I will have to run this idea by him.
@@WRECKEDGEAR let me know what he thinks of it
I wonder if you could put legs on it with hydraulic or electric hub motors at the foot. Do away with the axel all together and just walk up basically.
That would be crazy awesome!.
He built one that was independent 4 wheels so you could place each wheel. Ended up being to much work controlling that much stuff.
Maybe if you could work out a system that would balance the cab automatically while you control the wheelbase and width it would simplify it enough.
I stopped doing anything with the word crawling in the name of it ever since I started wiping my own butt !!! 😂 Jesus use some adrenaline !
Crawling is hard man. I get why you would just send it. its the easy un-skilled adrenalin rush.
Nah, it's too complicated to be widely adopted IMHO. What would be awesome is the same vehicle with a computer that makes the adjustments on the fly. He should install portals.

mud is lame. you either make it through or you get stuck. no consequences or skill needed.

Your very welcome
Keep the wheels down
Geoguessers already got your trail pinned on onX😂😂😂😂
Hacking the location is just step 1. step 2 is having a rig that can drive it. step 3 is being able to drive it. Good luck, and keep us updated.
if you can climb every rock and trail then where is the fun , if anything it should be used for search and resque , i can see it being useful there , but as a crawler , yeah great .
I see what your saying. but that only holds true if your not finding bigger rocks. Alec has opened up countless trails paving the way for a lot of us to eventually do them.
I have had this idea since I was ten and seen a sky track for the first time
Now its your turn to level it up!.
Should probably put a caterpillar motor In it ...
It would be heavy but so worth it!.
Be cool if he was invited to 24 hours of hell and back next year . I'd like to see how he handles the trail they did this year
We did the Hell & back in AZ in our blue rig that was under the abnormal rig. We run the AZ trails in less than 2 hours. The abnormal rig runs as fast if not faster than us!. Hell and back would be a parking lot for this rig, But the heart of hell and back is different rigs working together to make it through some tuff trails. I would also like to see him on there.
Love to see the game of crawl
I will see what I can do and give it a shot. not going to lie a little intimated by that rad rig.
Abby Normal????
“The Bride of Frankenstein”!!!
Ha ha ha I'm going to start calling it that.
That is so cool
Its pretty wild.
It doesn't look like (Abnormal) had spotters, or needed them.
Dude is a not just a wild builder but an epic wheeler!.
NASA needs to take a lesson from this
Moon Rover 2.0
If you take the challenge out of it what fun is that?
chasing more challenging stuff. It would be lame if he over built it just to do standard jeep trails.
it's the "future of off-road" just the same as Dippin' Dots has been the "future of ice cream" for at least 20 years.🤣🤣 cool rig tho
exactly!.
Something!
Thank you!.
Hell no that’s mall crawler but it’s hella loud tho…
It is super loud. The way it drives is wild. It pretty much stays at a set RPM because the motor is only powering a massive hydrolic pump. and everything on it is powered by hydraulics. so its always crankin.
You should hear some of the other Crawlers on the trail 😂
@@wreckedgearjess some day I’ll check it out som day minus today…
Was wondering who purchased all my broken heavy equipment I sold for parts 😂😂😂😂.
Honestly I think it’s bad ass not any driver can manage all those levers 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
Owner of this rig is a wheat farmer, He combined his hobby with his work and this is the creation. 😁
@@WRECKEDGEAR he has to be fluent in hydraulics to have assembled that machine . I often am repairing smaller heavy equipment and ponder how durable and useful some stuff would be for the trail
Next phase is four point independent movement.
He had a concept like that before and it did well but was a lot of work to drive. This rendition has been his favorite so far.
That makes sense. It would have to be partially autonomous to be user-friendly. I'll bet that concept was a buggar to operate. @@WRECKEDGEAR
Rc ..max funny. I freaked the f there for a second
Think legit works! we love wheelin with this guy.
comment something below..... haha
Nailed it!!!! Thank you so much for the comment!.
😂 it worked! 💪💪
This is not the first concept. This might be were a computer reading things might be better offroad.
Still controlled by a driver. just much more for him to be able to handle.
Did he say 90 gpm pump???
Yep. both axles have hydraulic drive motors and all the rams for extending, raising and steering. the actual motor is just to run the pump.
It’s a cool rig
Almost as cool as my rig (blue one underneath) 😂😀
We can put up with a pretty girl forgetting the batteries. But if the guy's does it he's an idiot😂😂😂
Bahh ha ha ha. right!. WI though jess we wouldn't have any footage. I guess we will give her a pass this time.
😂 Thank you!!! 🙏
The future? That kinda things been around for like 15 years 😂😂
People still haven't caught on.
It’s awesome engineering but to much crap to keep up with! For me the simpler the better
Its for sure a different style and my style if for sure simpler the better. Just so cool to see what someone can build. Alec is also a Pilot, I asked him what was easier to drive a plane or his crawler. He said a plane for sure lol.
Jealousy burns hot with @thrashmetal7588
Is that AZ?
can say😜
I'm in Gilbert. Not too good on identifying areas , but it looked like the Superstition Mountains. Awesome video.👍
Buncher tech, on a rock crawler.
🙌
I like yogurt
Me too!!! I like it even better when its frozen!.
It's the same as a rear steer buggy
Pretty much. just Drive line delete kit and able to extend and adjust hight on each corner.
@@WRECKEDGEAR yup
If u blow a line in the heat chould be interesting
That's no joke!. This is why he routinely checks them an makes sure they are all good.
Nothing new. There was a build like that in the early 20's.
Same guy. different gen rig.
