Putting tracks on a Ford truck is nothing new. However, having the guts to use them on a dangerous trail separates the men from the boys and makes for quite an entertaining video. Check out what happens when YouTuber TheStradman teams up with the famous Diesel Brothers.
Their work is quite controversial and has the kind of attention-grabbing quality that gets millions of young eyes glued to their phones. While TheStradman is more about the supercar life, his recent 6x6 exploits (as in the custom purple Jeep Gladiator) put him in the path of the infamous truck tuners.

As you may or may not know, the Diesel Brothers are responsible for some insane 6x6 truck conversions, like the one Marshmello famously had stolen a couple of months ago. Now, these beasts are usually based on the Ford F-550, and while some have Raptor-like front ends, we really like the all-white, almost clinical appearance of the one in the videos below.

Being a 6x6 with working AWD, the track conversion must have been a little more tricky than just slapping on some equipment and calling it a day. TheStradman speculates that the XXL track system on that 6x6 cost about $40,000 while the one fitted to his EcoBoosted Raptor was more like $30,000.

Either way, the two extreme vehicles are up to some seriously dangerous off-road shenanigans here. While going up an ice-covered trail, the vehicles start sliding back down the mountain and very nearly end up in a dangerous-looking ravine. And while YouTubers like to exaggerate with titles like "I nearly died," the danger is palpable here.

We'd tell you not to try this at home, but you already can't since we're already talking about a very expensive hobby that's also described as being illegal to drive down a public road.
