THIS is a 4X4
 

That is fu*kin rad. I wonder if he controls those hydraulics or if they're on some sensor.

This was in the news, spy shots forum last week. its a kick ass design. I just wonder how much power the Jeep has and how much power the chains can handle.

Chainlink extreme 4x4
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.

WOW - that's really badass.

I want one.:drink:

How hard is it to rig up that hydraulic system? It seems like it'd be a real bitch.

Trust me, that guy has BIG BUCKS in that thing.;)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gov't doesn't get a hold him for that design.

You think?! I wonder how long it took to design and build. That is extreme!
