...dude could use some gription tread on the sidewalls of his tires for climbing those verticals sideways like that.........damn sweet
Very impressive, indeed. It seemed to be only limited by the shoddy traction he was getting with those lame tires that quickly filled-up with mud. If it had some more aggressive "PitBull" brand tires on it, then it wouldn't have any trouble. Still, some of the terrain it was able to conquer is mind-boggling. I loved how the main chassis was able to be level no matter what angle the terrain was.
I laughed at the CJ-5 Jeep that was trying to keep up with him. I could tell the driver was getting frustrated, as the other modified vehicle was making him look plain silly.
Thanx for sharing, Billy. You always seem to find the most radical video's. This video in particular is a great find and very intriging to watch.
Wow, really impressive. Now I'd like to see it drive 75MPH on the interstate, I'm guessing that will be less impressive. Either way, its super cool.
It looks like he was copying the suspension and drive idea from the Warthog truck on Halo (xbox). I've often thought how cool it'd be to build/have something like that, but really, why would you ever really need it? Might would be something for the military to look into using but i'll just stick to my good old leaf springs and coils and so forth for now.

I know what I want from santa. I am thinking that it would have zero road handling ability. It also did not appear to like going from forward to reverse too much.
As for the Jeep with him, I wouldn't want to ride shotgun in that thing, check out the passenger seat in the video going up the hill from the far away shot...
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Am I the only one that thins the suspension on that thing looks like the suspension on a Warthog?
Not into crawlers but man, that thing is absolute! I can only begin to think of the everyday applications for that, heh.

It says the video is private when I get to the link. Anyone else seeing that?
