Around the 2:00 mark, look at how much the driver bounces around just running at moderate speed on a smooth highway. That thing must not have any suspension at all.

Looks more like an off-road (0ff-rail?) train locomotive.

That thing is built on an M1075 PLS chassis.

They are bouncy, but they do have a suspension.  The big flotation tires bounce a fair amount.  I know without a connex on the back to weigh it down an PLS is pretty bouncy.  I don't know how much his custom body weighs.

Also the front and rear two axles all steer, so they are more maneuverable than one would think.

Looks like something that should be in a Mad Max movie

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

If I had something like that, I would have a front view camera built into the hood or bumper.  Just so I could see what is in front.

I was thinking more of this:



Brownie points if you immediately recognized it as the "Landmaster" from the movie "Damnation Alley."

Dammit, that's what I was thinking, but it was so long ago that I couldn't think of the name of the movie so I couldn't find the image.  :laugh:
