- Coming right back at you with another full installment of the show Driver's Seat. A TV show that is produced, edited, and filmed in realtime as we drive the trail. This week, host Rich Klein of Trail Hero is with Steve Nantz of Sand Hollow Off Road as we tackle one of the most difficult trails out at Sand Hollow, in Hurricane, Utah.
Steve tackles all the hard lines and shows you, the driver, how to conquer all the hard obstacles on one of the newest and craziest trails in the country. Watch the full episode here or on Amazon Prime Video and don't forget if you are needing a turn key custom Buggy, Steve and his guys at Sand Hollow Off-Road can build you a rig that will make your friends envious!

Steve is one of the best guys in the sport. Amazing dude
ABSOLUTLY LOVE how quiet this rig is - this thing is a true work of art.
Still one of the best youtube videos of all time. I still watch this a couple times a year before I head to Utah.
Unbelievable! Never in a million years would I guess a vehicle could climb that and make it look so easy. That is some incredible driving.
Anything is possible with a torch an welder
@@meanf1502 yep, and the ability to figure out proper suspension geometry
Might be the best wheeling video ever.
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
The lack of foul language really makes this video great. Thanks for the professionalism!
This is one of the best wheeling videos I've seen. I love the format where the driver is sharing what he is thinking and what he is doing to operate the vehicle! No bad language and no one gets excited! Good Job! Thanks so much for sharing this
Thanks! We have a couple more scheduled for January, should get a chance to have more content up soon! Did you see the episode with Tony from GenRight? Episode 1 of Driver's Seat
I did see that episode, it was great too! Please keep making them!
@@billydouglas5966 Awesome, We have more scheduled to film shortly!

Love that seamless shift from 2wd to 4wd on the climbs. Never would have thought to do something like that.
Best crawling video
Absolutely mind boggling........ And you hardly hear the engine revving up... Totally insane 😲💕
Top notch format and description of moves ahead. Just flawless!
Thanks! Did you get a chance to watch some of our other episodes?
I really don't know how anyone could thumbs this down. Insane crawling!
Thanks!
Makes it look so easy. Serious skills.
Dude your skill is sick with that rig
Surgical precision. Amazing driving!
What an excellent video - thanks so much! Anyone into rock crawling should watch this to learn a little about finesse. Known Steve for many years and not only is he a great guy, but an amazing driver (obviously!) and fabricator. Make sure you stop by his shop when hitting Sand Hollow!

Steve looks so peaceful as he crawls thru them treacherous ravines. Great crawling. Thanks for the video. ...😎👍👍👍
Thank you for tuning in!
Best wheeling video ever. Need more like this
We are working on that buddy ;)
Completely agree! I have not seen anything like it. Love the technical aspect.

We ran this trail when we were down for trail hero 2019. It was one of the guided tours. Very glad we did it,as I was a bit nervous running a trail with a 12 rating. But we did very well on it. Thanks for putting the time into finding these trails Rich.
Cheers from Canada!
Thanks for attending man! Glad you had fun and I hope to see you guys back down here! We have a couple more trails to introduce this year!

Make no mistake this vehicle is very capable , But the Allusion is 90% driver's skill. Put this machine in most are hands and we would have shit the bed a longtime ago .🥴So regardless of how capable we believe this crawler to be.Having driving skills is a must and this dude can drive. Thanks for sharing
Robby Jr you are most definitely correct
This buggy breaks the laws of physics
This guy is brilliant, makes it look so easy.
The skills and the insane machine made this look like a walk in the park. Nice video and good to find others not liking to just bounce their way up a hill.
We don't do the bouncer thing. ;)
I can't agree more! And he is talking the entire time!
Just impressive. I think that machine is related to a mountain goat.
@@henrent Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
I have watched a ton of great rock crawling videos but this one really stands out, due to his methodical drying skills and even the comintating is doing a great job
Thank you!
I'm sorry, I'm genuinely not doing this to be a "grammar nazi" but to just inform you. It's commentating * along with driving* but I'm guessing that was a type
@@perryleduc1954 you are correct.
I've done all kinds of off roading and some light jeep rock crawling. But this is insane. I can't imagine going over this stuff. 👍🇺🇲
Mind. Blown! Been a while since I've watched any rock crawling; what Steve & his car can do is insane, thx very much!
But with the rig they have is it really that insane?
I am blown away by this!
Did you watch our other episode? Similar terrain with a Jeep!
Awesome machine!!
Great video Rich! Thanks👍
Thank you!
I love how quiet he got that engine. Must be a lawnmower with a few mufflers on it. Also, I see he's running the same driveshafts that I do. Curtis makes some nice shafts.
The best thing about this style off roading is that you are not bouncing up the rock face and destroying everything in your path. There is very little (if any) damage to the trails! Love this rig, I want one!
I agree! BTW, this one sold recently for 55g's and I know the guy who built it if you want one ;)
Absolutely freezing amazing!
Can you guys do another video with Steve Nantz??? this is one of my favorites and would love to see him to another 12-14 rated trail or a whole new one out at sand hollow. Love your content!!!!
We are working on Season two as we speak! I know Steve is building a new buggy so when his is done. we'll get out and get another with him!
First dude to ever double whammy a side wall
:D
This guy drives like Clapton plays guitar....makes it look easy
You know Uncle has it together when he can jiba-jabber AND crawl over `pohaku
Mahalo!!...Great video!
amazing skill and control
Well that was just cool!
You know you are watching someone very talented at what they do when you think,..."hey I can do that" when the truth is - no you can't. Great video - thank you
Haha! it is very difficult for sure! luckily Steve Nantz is a great driver and has an AMAZING vehicle.

Thank you!!! Amazing!!!
Thank you for watching! Check out our other episode!
So nice to see a pro drive👌🏼
I had a good time watching this video.
Nick Lotus make sure you check out our other episode! Driver’s Seat with Tony Pelligrino
One of the best videos on the subject I’ve ever seen 👍 Fascinating to say the least!
Thank you! Did you see our other episode with Tony Pellegrino from GenRight?
Trail Hero I will check it out for sure!

A big version of my modified RC Axial Capra. 😍
🤣🤣🤣
I am going to watch this vid. until I get sick of it.Definitely the coolest Rock crawl video i've seen to date
Easy,easy nice and slow
Beautiful scenery
And a great instuctional vid.
AND no distacting background music or fast moving video clips
Thank you!
This isn’t rock crawling. This is rock climbing
WOW and I mean a genuine WOW. That is spectacular and a great explanation and tips. A sincere thank you for taking the time to record and post. Amazing stuff IMHO.
Thank your tuning in, did you happen to see our other "Driver's Seat" shows?
In RC crawling we call that a dig unit. Its essentially the same thing. To see on an actually crawler is mind blowing for me!
The rc crawlers came second. Full size crawlers have had dig for a long time. Atlas transfer cases have dig built in.
@@pf465 I had no idea. Thanks man! It's an amazingly useful feature!
The cg of this thing is👌
one of the best ive ever watched great job
Thank you! Be sure to check out our other "Driver's Seat" Show on our page!
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
That was seriously impressive.
Thank you!
so sick
He makes it look easy. It's like a spider walking around our there
Wow, you and your totally awesome vehicle just kept me glued to the video. I love this kind of exiteing and exillerating adventure action craziness fun in a vehicle going slow. Enjoying the ride. It's the first time on your channel. I'm staying for the fun. Rock on n one. Great job. Keep up the good works.
Great video, great footage, and the commentary as he hits each obstacle' that's great too. Thanks, keep 'em coming.
Rocky Mountain Backcountry have you checked out our other episode? Driver’s Seat with Tony Pelligrino
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
This is awesome I think I've ever seen a video where the pro operator in this sport actually informed us of how to operate correctly, I don't have a buggy, yet. Hopefully one day I'll get to that cuz this looks intensely enjoyable
Thank you! We plan to create more episodes this spring!
Steve.. "anybody could do that...I saw you do it Rich" hahahahaha.
Freaking awesome video guys!!
Absolutely a GREAT wheeling video! Haven't been to Sand Hollow yet but will be soon. Looking forward to meeting Steve at his shop. Thanks for the lessons from a pro like Steve, for running this trail and looking forward to more videos like these in the future. Keep em coming....
Come out during our event October 6-10, a 4 day guided trail ride, every trail available, from easy to the most difficult.
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
Many many thanks Rich to bring this kind of videos, really enjoy it, and the talk with drivers telling how they do their job well it's a great plus...would really like more videos like this and if you have the chance would be very interesting to me some kind of description of the rigs, some specifications on the stuff used to build them, thanks!!
We are getting ready for another release tonight at 8pm MST! it is super fun and a pretty wild ride! Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
He talked about making his rig as light as possible... no need for a big nasty PowerPoint! Just good gearing! Awesome rig! And super talented!
Steve Nantz is an Awesome Driver and Fabricator!
Mind boggling!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Awesome buggy
Awesome 10/10! So much learning in a well organized crawl along video, I would have chicken skin to see this in person, Video usually doesn’t do the trail justice on perception . More please
Surely! Thank you! Did you catch our other "Driver's Seat" show on our Channel? We should have new episodes being filmed in about a month.
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
Not a big fan of buggies but this build is wicked! Well done sir!!!
Thank you! Steve Nantz is very talented at driving and fabricating!
great action
Thank you for tuning in!
So cool I used to RC comp crawl. Same thing just A 1/10th scale. Great job on your design your card handles really well.
i love that rock boggy its small but bad to the bone.
This is a really cool video format. Great work guys!
Thank you! We can do one with the Sloth as our guest ;) or a "Influencer" from Synergy/Poly. Let me know how we can collab.
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
Finding the "exact" line of travel for each tire is the key, other than the incredible machine of course!
Agreed!
Awesome walk through. And what cool light weight rig... 🤔
Very cool, Steve 👍 ZUK
The Axial Capra 1:1? Ha ha nice build rockbuggy!
haha, I wonder which came first? The first version of this car was built by Jesse Haines about 4 years ago...
Excellent video great driver
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
I am a sport utv guy in sw az. I've never given much thought to rock climbing vehicle's,,,seen a few on trailers,,,but this is interesting..very neet stuff
Very nice video!! Wondered what ever happened to you Steve.. old days wheeling the snow in Northern Co. Next trip will be be to Hurrican for sure
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
Amazing! any build videos for a buggy like this?
1 year later. Enjoyed the watch!
Thank you!
Badass!!!!
Just jaw dropping, I say Oh My God is that possible? I can not stop rewatching. A actual motor vehicle not a monster thing climbing with hydraulics and Steve does not even have the ego of a Amatuer rock crawler. And he is not burning and bouncing like the amatuer idiots.
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
Just found this video worked with Steve Nance at four wheeler Supply in Phoenix back in the day he built my roll cage on my wagon awesome fabricator awesome dude 😈😈😈😈
16:30 to 17:45 nicely done!
Hit this in my Rzr buggy a few weeks ago and it was super hard on 35 Zillas it kills me how easy he makes it look
WoooW
hmm i got here by the 50 mile an hour blasting up a hill with full throttle... this is... more friendly for the neighbours... :)
I recently got into RC rock crawling and have a Traxxas TRX4 Sport with portal axles. Its crazy to see them in real vehicle applications.
It is pretty amazing how far both technologies have come, and partially because of each other!
Sweet rock crawler. Wish that sucker was in my garage. What was the air pressure in those huge tires when you ran this trail? They don't look aired down at all.
BFGoodrich Tires work well on Sand Hollow terrain. Figure most people run 7-8 psi but with the 42" tire on a 20" wheel, there is less sidewall to flex, one reason why they are the best tire out there for this sport.
Those Rock-Bouncer "crawling is for babies" types don't have shit on this guy lol. I've seen more broken parts in a single Rock-Bouncer event than I've seen in all other offroad motorsports combined. This is not something to be proud of, IMO. If people are breaking shit, they either weren't prepared, or they're just not very good drivers. The driver in this vid is a true quiet professional. He reminds me a bit of my late best friend (Never Forgotten). He was a Coyote (8x8 Light Armored Vehicle) driver in the Canadian Forces, and he drove Cougars (6x6 LAV) before that. Some of my best off-roading trips were had with him, his wife and my wife. He taught me so much that I would never have figured out on my own, and with his help, I was able to turn my wife into one hell of a Crawler. She went from being scared just at the prospect of driving offroad to climbing up boulders so quickly it made my head spin. Never underestimate the value of an experienced teacher. It just sucks that things had to turn out this way. It's true that the good die young, and by those standards, I'm bound to live forever without my best friend and mentor. If I didn't have my wife, it certainly would have done me in. She's a warrior in her own right.
H3R3T1C I love everything about this comment!
I guess adding water to the tires also lowers the center of gravity a lot for such a light buggy. How much water is in each tire?
Wcslv _ generally speaking, to the bottom of the wheel, around 150 lbs per wheel
Awesome video! I love the tutorial on what line and the reason behind it. Just curious, what was the guy with the giant yellow pole doing?
Keeping him lined up on the trail.
He was taking 360 photos and video for a VR experience that we offer.
All of that is right down the road from my house. His shop is just a couple blocks from my house also
I haven’t finished the video yet so I don’t know how it goes for him but holy smokes that buggy is insane and what is the power plant I’m guessing it’s not a LS.
ecotec 2.3
I think Jeep needs to talk to you... You could be a millionaire in no time with design..... Keep up the good work and I love this...😃
LOL, Jeep isn't interested in making anything like this
Episode 3 for Driver's Seat Drops tonight!
Wow
shout out to Matt at winders towing.
based out of hurricane UT. he's the bloke who will come and get you out when your rig brakes down.
When you get stuck in Sand Hollow who ya going to call? Why none other than Matt's Off Road Recovery! th-cam.com/channels/wdVOry0oNF9WIe_3uCfz9Q.html
I remember years ago when Lions Back ridge was still open. A jeep fell off the right side (facing the trail) and got wedged in the crack in the rock. There was a tow truck going up Lions Back to try to winch it out. It was pretty wild seeing a tow truck climb the near vertical wall to get up there.
That is NOT a "car"...lol...awesome video.
First time we went wheeling in Sand Hollow, I thought to myself Moab on steroids! We go twice a year now. Amazing place
owlsworld have you been for our event? This year it is October 5-10
@@TrailHeroStudios We go for Rampage, so too long to be away from Reality. Other trip is in March
@@owlsworld LEt me know on FB or IG when you guys get into town in March and I'll show you around...
is there any sort of blue prints or build layouts you can provide? I'd love to see a build list. Awesome buggy.
You would have to Call Steve at Sand Hollow Off Road
I am always seriously concerned about damage to the environment but this was amazing. Thank you. Would you mind telling a complete novice about your engine size, horsepower ,gear ratios etc.
This area is designated for this type of motorsport and the environmental impact is very low. The motor is a Chevy EcoTec, Jeep 904 Transmission, and jeep Dana 300 transfer case. Motor puts out roughly 200 HP and has a crawl ration of about 70:1
@@TrailHeroStudios This actually reminds me of aa D-9 cat that I used to run..Thank you
Wow nice what is the psi in you tires and what is the amount of water u used or how is done
7-8 psi, usually water comes to the bottom of the wheel.
Do you use dry sump to allow for these steep ages without damaging the engine?
Not always. We have advanced oiling systems that are more affordable than a dry sump, but not as good.
