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.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Chainlink extreme 4x4

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.

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