BIGFOOT Crushes Everything During Operation Appreciation 2016

Operation Appreciation is in full swing--and BIGFOOT is creating scenes jumping trucks and wowing the troops at Camp Buehring in Kuwait.

Operation Appreciation 2016 returned to Kuwait to visit the troops, and for the first time brought along BIGFOOT decked out in a special armed forces camo scheme. The truck's chassis beneath is the same one that driver Dan Runte wheeled to one of the most memorable jumps of his career, the record-setting 202-foot journey over a Boeing 727 jetliner that took place at an aviation show in Smyrna, TN, in 1999. 

"The whole reason we did this was for our troops," Runte said. "After 28 years driving and 30 in the business, to be able to say that I’ve been to Kuwait and run over cars in front of our troops is a rare privilege, and one that means a lot to me. That’s heartfelt, and it goes all the way through our group. This trip and this whole experience mean a lot to every one of us."

You can read all about the BIGFOOT shenanigans--and watch a video too--and follow Dan,  fello BIGFOOT driver Larry Swim, NHRA Pro Stock Champion Jason Line and teammate Greg Anderson, and Screaming Eagle Harley-Davidson Pro Stock Bike riders Andrew Hines, and Eddie Krawiec as they visit more troops during Operation Appreciation 2016.
