@@kylesmith9048 From what I remember they seemed to push two narratives, one between him and Reed Timmer on who was the better interceptor, and the other with the DOW team where Casey was portrayed as reckless in order to get his shot.

Sean is AWESOME! one of the most clever and inventive guys around today, in my opinion! I couldn't invent things like that, I'm not even half as inventive with REGULAR things. lol
This makes me love my 08 2500 that much more...I've got the 6.7 though I wonder if the tiv or the 5.9 have the jake brake like the 08? Would be a really good benefit for these heavy load situations...only downside is the dpf b.s. (its a must to delete) and you need a adj track bar to prevent deathwobble above 55... major issues once corrected = great truck I see that in comments tiv has 6.7 have you had any of the above issues?
1:09 Ironic as he ended up driving that truck for most of the Season because the TIV 2 was plagued with mechanical issues. No matter what vehicle you own, there's always gonna be that guy that says "Oh you should've gotten car brand 'X'"
check out the footage they got yesterday! Never seen anything like it, at one point some animal or something hits the tiv and then towards the end something nails the window in front and sparks.look up tiv2 wedge tornado and you should find it.
Thinking about peeling my can and hanging what 1/8th" walls and adding 10' in length and squaring it off and then pasteing or putting new sides back on. It has some looks to be air leveling system
I know that video I have alread yseen it ... but that video apears to be taken with a normal camera ... I'm asking if its the this specific guy who cought the tornado inside. Because he is recording with Imax cameras also ... My main question is ... is there video material of the insides of the tornado on imax quality?
This sounds like a tourist prospect to boost tourism in the tornado alley on Spring and Fall seasons, sick mofos out there may pay top dollar to get into one of these TIV2s and experience a tornado. Sounds a good an idea like a real life Jurassic Park.
Yes. It was placed in the outflow of a commercial jet engine for a Mythbusters episode; It survived currents of 250 MPH+ although it did result in the anchor spikes being bent slightly. The team that designed it did a very good job. Reed Timmer's 'Dominator' also withstood it well.
They went through a likely EF5-equivalent tornado on May 27th, 2013 without much issue. The anemometer atop the TIV measured 180 mph winds before being ripped off. It's safe to say winds probably got higher afterwards.
I hope CUmmins is still doing this kind of work as this kind of work is the bettering of our society. It's crucial these crazy dudes get the help and funding needed so they can continue going out risking their lives to get the data.
they dont necessarily plan to take it inside the tornado around debris cause clearly if another vehicle landed on it there'd be damage. that being said it's basically a tank so im sure a few hits of large debris doesnt do much to it
So are there two designs for TIV 2, cause the one in season 2 of storm chasers had a different front, but the body was identical Someone please fill me in
TIV 2 was compleatly rebuild after S2 of storm chasers BC the people who helped build the OG TIV2 were inexperienced Collage students who FUCKED UP real badly so Sean rebuild it himself for season 3
Tractor trailors aren't very aerodynamic and the air can go all the way around them. This TIV drops it's sides and anchors itself into the ground (even asphalt maybe?). I imagine it would start getting dangerous once the ground around the TIV is sheared away and the wind can get up undernearth somehow.
The video and chasing part is the dramatic part you're lambasting. There is also a scientific part to what the "real" chasers do in collecting valuable data about what happens on the ground during a tornado. The more scientific data that can be gathered about tornados, from formation to it's dispersal WILL save lives as we improve forecast models. Besides most chasers will give aid and support if an emergency situation is in front of them. Many storms filmed are in open plains.
It's a unit of a vehicle the only thing saving it is the hydraulic spike system and in my opinion it should dig deeper. If it couldn't anchor it would be just another death trap getting lobbed into the air and everyone inside would be dead.
Why not build it off of an 18 wheeler chassis instead of a truck or SUV. That's probably why most episodes of storm chasers show the TIV in it's natural habitat stuck in a ditch because the engine died. Bigger chassis thicker armor and more space for radar equipment. You can add an engine and more armor in the back.
When are you going to start chasing tornados agen in the TIV 2 you had it remade for tornado seasion I just want ot no if its just collecting dust in storage or are you taking you're jobs seriosley and working with New weather technologys on TIV 2 or not because its bin forever sence the show ended on discovery channel it was my hobby to watch every episode of storm chasers but now I wonder where the TIV teams whent after all these years I always will remember good times of TIV 2
FYI, Sean was better off in the TIV 2 and without Josh. All Josh did was cry like a little girl. Why so serious Josh? Sean always got his best footage when he went off on his own. Great film Sean!
at that point the tornado must be going 300+ mph to pick up a car to even throw it that fast, and they wouldve not have intercepted a tornado above around 190mph.
I've gotten to see that thing on the road a couple of times, with mixed feelings. It's SO COOL! And then, "I'm going to check the weather on the radio 'cause maybe seeing that thing isn't necessarily GOOD news."
Well, mymymy... I just love the fact that they keep creating new TIVs!
You kidding!? I'd ask for a ride while they're on a chase!
@@OBrienmyers yea yea *sells the TIV2 for 30,000

It IS a tank! Any vehicle with _two_ inches of the armor this beast has is a tank in my book.

its awesome how long tiv 2 has lasted. the dominator is on its 3rd life
The fact, that they have gunner styled seats in this, is awesome

I know that, right??
Sean and the TIV team are awesome. Good work on that capture!
Agree.
Sean you are a Genius, you really learned from the mistakes of TIV 1 and Dog 1 and improved on them.
There is tiv 3 in the making hand
@@theofficialJayLS_622 to clarify, NOT subativ
All you have to do is mount a 120MM Smoothbore cannon on that puppy and you got yourself a tank!

Or it can be a armored trooper carrier like a swat type thing but they acourse they would not use this
90mm smoothbore cannon from the T95 Medium tank

Awsome Video inside the tornado!!!...
Hope to see more

Can't wait to build my own in 6 years same shape !
Im going to build tiv 1 because it feels like im in La Ca
@@brigganthewolf1461 you ever build it ?
@@PrometheusIIIIII No, lost interest in storm chasers years ago.
TIV, the Tornado Tank for Chasers.
That thing looks like an absolute blast!
Sean l hope that you are going to chase storm this upcoming season . I hope that I see you out there filming on location .
I love how they used the doghouse to tow the tiv and they do the doghouse tour with the humugus trailer still attached
check out the footage they got yesterday! Never seen anything like it, at one point some animal or something hits the tiv and then towards the end something nails the window in front and sparks.look up tiv2 wedge tornado and you should find it.
Gotta get one of those. Why dont you start a line of sever weather cars
Probably because the TIV cost about $81,000+ to build.

Looks like you guys have thought of almost everything. The engine bay that was shown needs a better set up for air intake.
loks like war armor or vehicle for zombie apocalypse :P
Going head to head with mother nature is definitely war
The armor is usually there because of debris thrown by very strong winds.
Dang, an excellent Protest buster. Plow a lane through the nonsense

No weather delays for this Uber!
you were the first. Reed just copied you.
Reid is the best

lol red shoe
would the tiv2 do well against an EF5 250 MPH Tornado?
Yes. It was placed in the outflow of a commercial jet engine for a Mythbusters episode; It survived currents of 250 MPH+ although it did result in the anchor spikes being bent slightly. The team that designed it did a very good job. Reed Timmer's 'Dominator' also withstood it well.
Mister Lostman but at least the Spikes did there job well

⚡️mabye because In into the storm it got sucked up by the tornado and it was an EF 5 so idk⚡️
Love my Cummins. I've owned them all. The cummins is simple, easy to work on amd very reliable. And lots of power!
TIV2 features a leather-lined armored overhead storage compartment for this guy's BALLS
I hope CUmmins is still doing this kind of work as this kind of work is the bettering of our society. It's crucial these crazy dudes get the help and funding needed so they can continue going out risking their lives to get the data.
Would a medium sized farm tractor flying in a tornado damage that vehicle to the point it would become unsafe inside the tornado?
they dont necessarily plan to take it inside the tornado around debris cause clearly if another vehicle landed on it there'd be damage. that being said it's basically a tank so im sure a few hits of large debris doesnt do much to it
"Daamnn, it's the TIV 2! It's the-
Wait oh god
*if the TIV's here then we finna die-"*
Kinda defeats the purpose with slides but can the slide system support a 1/8th steel box slide?
He's the real 🐐 he started all this M.V.P
TIV SMIV.... this dude oughtta design TANKS!!!
If that thing is designed for the worst weather known to man, sure as hell can survive that zombie apocalypse.
So are there two designs for TIV 2, cause the one in season 2 of storm chasers had a different front, but the body was identical
Someone please fill me in
TIV 2 was compleatly rebuild after S2 of storm chasers BC the people who helped build the OG TIV2 were inexperienced Collage students who FUCKED UP real badly so Sean rebuild it himself for season 3
Where do you put the beer?
nobody gonna mention the fact that a tornado will pick yall up and toss you into the next zip code?
Tractor trailors aren't very aerodynamic and the air can go all the way around them. This TIV drops it's sides and anchors itself into the ground (even asphalt maybe?). I imagine it would start getting dangerous once the ground around the TIV is sheared away and the wind can get up undernearth somehow.
I just saw y'all, TIV2 was in Graham TX. I should take a picture and ask for job!
How do u feel when into the storm completely ripped you off Sean?
Well at least they dont have to worry with that Cummins 5.9, that thing will last forever!
I would like to know how many miles are on that 2500.
So will this withstand flying cars, semi’s, houses flying into you? Just curious lol
Usually early debris is smaller and tears up larger debris, so the TIV 2 will be able to survive the smaller debris
i just watched a documentary on tornado alley with casey and that navy guy in the imax
Is there a TIV3 in the works? lol

Hope Sean can capture more image from monster truck and stay save.I love IMAX images.
What are the spikes for LoL
thats a nice build
Nice shot of the tank @1:52.
How do you get an inspection sticker for this, and what does your local registry of mofos say if you want a license?
I bet the registration says “Tornado intercept vehicle” 😂 if I were the guy doing the inspection I’d give it a sticker the things dam cool as hell
what if you fps drive? with tiv 2
How much was the metal?
It's a unit of a vehicle the only thing saving it is the hydraulic spike system and in my opinion it should dig deeper.
If it couldn't anchor it would be just another death trap getting lobbed into the air and everyone inside would be dead.
Why not build it off of an 18 wheeler chassis instead of a truck or SUV. That's probably why most episodes of storm chasers show the TIV in it's natural habitat stuck in a ditch because the engine died. Bigger chassis thicker armor and more space for radar equipment. You can add an engine and more armor in the back.
Is Sean still chasing?
JL I hope so!! I saw him a few years on the road still chasing. He seemed into it still for sure. So much has happened over the years.
JL I saw him in 2015
Did this guy catch the tornado? ... because I would pay for the 2 minutes of inside a tornado in the imax cinemas :)
It is true the Cummings diesel is no joke
cani borrow it to my prom?
What if u get 4 or 5 how in heck can that tornso not be pickeed up
27 ford guys obviously watched the video...
Looks to be Easier to roll on new siding
What kind of engine?
how did the doghouse managed to carry 14k pounds 💀💀
Its huge for its size it's kinda rare

Spoiler Alert: The winds outside and inside tornado's are really, really strong. Question answered.
How can you have an interception car?
He built it.
I'd love to work in one.
Reed?
He said its a dodge but it has 6 wheels, so maybe its a ram t-rex?
William Santi
The only trucks with six wheels are a Mercedes and the new Hennesy Velociraptor.
Blasty _ theres also a mercedes sprinter 6x6
I built this in Lawton ok at usa 6x6.
It’s must cost A lot of money to repair that window
FYI, Sean was better off in the TIV 2 and without Josh. All Josh did was cry like a little girl. Why so serious Josh? Sean always got his best footage when he went off on his own. Great film Sean!
What if there’s a flying car or truck that hits that thing going 150mph?
at that point the tornado must be going 300+ mph to pick up a car to even throw it that fast, and they wouldve not have intercepted a tornado above around 190mph.
This video was brought to you by Dodge Cummins
I bet that thing can withstand a 30mm armor piercing rounds.
*_Not for a second_*
After some fallout.. you’re gonna see gangs with something like this in their arsenal! This car has yet to be in a tornado tho
me: how on earth did he afford to build this????
man that build the TIV: i'm filming with an IMAX camera
me: oh. that's how.
This could make a good military vehicle for transporting multiple troops quickly and it could be armed with a 3 or 6 barrel gau 19 50 cal gatling
Nice man. But I gotta say. That vehicle looks like a spaceship. But nice man
It needs that angled low profile design with little airflow underneath it. That's what gets things up in the air, the flow. The anchors also help.
I miss the Tiv
damn. just the camera truck is gettin 4 miles a gallon, i cant imagine while its pulling the trailer..
It's in the title...
I need this for Florence
I SEE HAIL STORMS
NEVER SEE A ARMORED VEHICLE
That dodge the doghouse is rusted to hell underneath
During the zombie apocalypse I’m stealing a ship big enough to carry that thing back to the UK
big balls my friend!
