I am thinking I want a 2WD pickup...............
Just been sent this video link:

I did really like the 6 wheel drive Merc G wagon that was posted a while ago, but my god this thing looks WAY more fun. Pretty cool video too.

There's almost irony in that video.

The On-road car is 4wd and the Off-road is 2WD.......

The BMW is only there as it's stuck! Rolling with laughter

Fantastic video! Thumbs Up Craig Rogers

I think i would feel sick on that soggy suspension. But they have certainly spent a lot of $ keeping those axles under control. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

I had a little search on the truck- it weighs over 3 Tons!! But it still floats over bumps. Many of the tracks on the video made me think 'I would have to shift to second gear and go slow through that section' but he was hoofing it as fast as possible!!

I think I need to save my pennies Twisted Evil

Hmmmm, maybe Defender2.net will sponsor me?

But then again, they drive the cars that hard in the championships and it is all about endurance so the trucks must easily take it all in its stride Question

That's so cool it's ridiculous Thumbs Up
It just looks so soft when it lands Laughing Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...
