Kaimi Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Alohas Frank C.O M G !!! Where can I get one? With that puppy there is no where you cant go and nothing would be safe out there. All it needs is a pair of .50 calibers mounted on top and I would be good to go.Aloha and with this one I would be safe out there.Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I wonder how the wheels are driven? Maybe hydraulic motors, certainly not axels...... Not too many places one could not go, course it tears up the ground a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagdoctor1 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 chains run down the swing arms in a case. Cams hydraulic Chain-drive 4x4, about 7 feet of up OR down motion on each tire: specs below Engine is a fuel injected Ford 5.0 V8 out of a '93 cobra mustang, c4 transmission and t-case out of an early bronco. 9" w/ 5.38 gears and ARB air locker mounted in the center (below driver) running chain gears on the ends where the swing arms pivot. Swing arms are hydraulically controlled individually or together, and there is coil spring and shock suspension as well. large chains running inside the swing arms turn hummer gear reduction (2:1) hubs at each wheel. tires are 39.5". The steering is linked through the swing arms as well and the steering box is mounted just infront of the axle below the driver. body construction is steel tubing (mostly DOM) and the total weight is 5900 LB.P.S. My mouth was wide open watching that.... couldn't believe it until I realized there had to be chains... Then I read the comments... man I agree with the above... what a mechanical nightmare.
