Plenty of room, low environmental impact, and it should deal with the Florida sand just fine...yeah... whats your Landcrusier got now...lol

Nice....perfect for those pristine out of the way places...

I hear the maintenance schedule is as many pages as the U.S. budget.

Wait....I thought expedition trucks had SKINNY tires?!

**Jnich77** · 08-16-2009, 01:53 PM

Skinny tires are over rated. I want mine to float across lakes...lol

Here is a great OLD vid. showing how it all works. Watch them drive a 20,000lb. unit over the inventer and a "dune buggy gal"

yeah, those things are nuts. I just want to drive one.

Great find. Interesting to see them pop up again. They're not too far from my old stomping grounds, would be fun to see what they have in the yard.

I wonder how much a new tire would cost for one of those though, I bet it can't be cheap.
