Drivers Seat: Broken Chain with Steve Nantz of Sand Hollow Offroad 

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.

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.

Still one of the best youtube videos of all time. I still watch this a couple times a year before I head to Utah.

Makes it look so easy. Serious skills.

Absolutely mind boggling........ And you hardly hear the engine revving up... Totally insane 😲💕

Top notch format and description of moves ahead. Just flawless!

Love that seamless shift from 2wd to 4wd on the climbs. Never would have thought to do something like that.

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

Might be the best wheeling video ever.

The lack of foul language really makes this video great. Thanks for the professionalism!

Best crawling video

I really don't know how anyone could thumbs this down. Insane crawling!

This is awesome! We want to see MORE drivers seat videos!

Steve looks so peaceful as he crawls thru them treacherous ravines. Great crawling. Thanks for the video. ...😎👍👍👍

Best wheeling video ever. Need more like this

Surgical precision. Amazing driving!

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

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!

Great video Rich! Thanks👍

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.

Mind. Blown! Been a while since I've watched any rock crawling; what Steve & his car can do is insane, thx very much!

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

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!

I am blown away by this!

This guy is brilliant, makes it look so easy.

Dude your skill is sick with that rig

I had a good time watching this video.

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. 👍🇺🇲

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!

One of the best videos on the subject I’ve ever seen 👍 Fascinating to say the least!

This buggy breaks the laws of physics

Steve.. "anybody could do that...I saw you do it Rich" hahahahaha. Freaking awesome video guys!!

Awesome machine!!

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.

Well that was just cool!

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

so sick

Great video, great footage, and the commentary as he hits each obstacle' that's great too. Thanks, keep 'em coming.

one of the best ive ever watched great job

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

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

That was seriously impressive.

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....

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!

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.

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

So nice to see a pro drive👌🏼

The Axial Capra 1:1? Ha ha nice build rockbuggy!

Awesome walk through. And what cool light weight rig... 🤔

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!

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!!!!

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.

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!

A big version of my modified RC Axial Capra. 😍

Thank you!!! Amazing!!!

great action

amazing skill and control

The cg of this thing is👌

This is a really cool video format. Great work guys!

Mind boggling!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Not a big fan of buggies but this build is wicked! Well done sir!!!

i love that rock boggy its small but bad to the bone.

He makes it look easy. It's like a spider walking around our there

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.

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!!

Absolutely freezing amazing!

Awesome buggy

First dude to ever double whammy a side wall

Finding the "exact" line of travel for each tire is the key, other than the incredible machine of course!

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

Excellent video great driver

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 😈😈😈😈

This isn’t rock crawling. This is rock climbing

Badass!!!!

hmm i got here by the 50 mile an hour blasting up a hill with full throttle... this is... more friendly for the neighbours... :)

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.

1 year later. Enjoyed the watch!

Very cool, Steve 👍 ZUK

16:30 to 17:45 nicely done!

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.

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

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.

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...😃

First time we went wheeling in Sand Hollow, I thought to myself Moab on steroids! We go twice a year now. Amazing place

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

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.

All of that is right down the road from my house. His shop is just a couple blocks from my house also

Amazing! any build videos for a buggy like this?

You should do another video with that buggy out on the Hammers.

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.

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.

That is NOT a "car"...lol...awesome video.

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?

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?

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.

Q:how are you getting down from the top of the world A: Easy Watch ME

Wow

Oh man at 17:30 it's really crossed up ,,, but I'm seeing that the offset diffs keep the driveshaft angle good ... You know it never gets more angle ,,, then it does ... When it's just sitting level ... I see that ,,, well not much more ... D
