I see him several times a month. The coolest thing is he lifted his cherry picker's mast & boom off it's base & made them to bolt on the rear using the socket receiver and the spare mount stud. Can put the lifting hook over 15' in the air!
I used to swerve around my hallucinations, now I drive right through them.

What the heck is that "Chainlink"? That's bizarre!
Expedition Leader
That's pretty much everyones rxn to it at that first crawler comp.
5.0 Ford SEFI. C4 w/ partial Dana 20 t/c (no front drive). Chain driven, enclosed within the suspension arms. HMMV redux boxes at each tire. One upside down 9" diff (w/ARB) in the center. Rocker arm linked air spring suspension. Hyd rams for rocker arm pushrods. Hyd rams for pitch control. Steering is all mechanical (no hydro-steering) but defies verbal description. Figuring out the Ackerman was a trick.
Can set it's belly flat on the ground & lift two of the 4 off the ground. While keeping the other 3 on the ground, can raise one front tire to a little over 9' of air btwn the bottom of the tire and the ground. Owner/builder is an Operator. Currently working on what will be, in essence, an Expi rig, based on military vehicle parts (no Rockwells in the eqxn). Maybe after that makes his wife happy he'll be able to build the lightweight single seater version cooking in his head.
