- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- 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 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..
Whoever made this, incredible engineering.
his name is Cam
"How's that for articulation?" What a machine!
Im watching this 13 years later wow impressive
Now thats a fully independent suspension
The best thing about this build is the ice-chest placement.
Holy genius, batman! Dudes, you win. Totally in awe. Gotta go build one of these...
It looks like the car is specially designed for driving on russian roads.
Сергей Кузнецов it started life as a lada
That thing was made for running from Tie fighters thru a narrow pass
the time and dedication, not to mention money that this guy poured into this machine...wow. glad to see him enjoying the fruits of his labour.
Better be reliable. You'd be totally screwed if you break down out back unless you have a buddy with a Sikorsky S64.
It’s not like it’s gonna be gone when you get back
Still the OG and best .this build has been inspiring and leading so many builds .
i think the warthog from halo must use chainlink - have a look
I watch this a few times a year and it always impresses me
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
That is freakin' badass. The articulation is stupid insane! Kudos to whomever engineered that one.
It's too easy with that thing, it's no fun without a challenge

lol #SaucisseDePorc
Hydrostatic 4x4s are banned in competition, however, this isn't a hydrostat. Even though it's got hydraulics up the ying yang, its still a conventionally driven vehicle. You could compete in professional events like W.E.ROC and take home a trophy easily. This machine is awesome, I've never seen such ingenuity. Hats off man, you've created and amazing monster.
This IS REAL independent suspension - I have never seen that before , respect for person who build this
I love that you get 7 feet of articulation, but it still crashes off the trailer! too funny...and amazing rig!
Amazing bit of kit ! Thats what I call out side the box thinking! Nice touch having the canteliver springs on the suspension to always allow flex ! more videos please !!
What you meant to say was "Damn" that's the most capable trail rig I've ever seen in my life.. Holy shit man great job!!!!!
used to live down the street from this dude, and went to school with his son. hes so cool (and nice)
that's nuts! from one fabricator to another "good job sir I am impressed"
EPIC! I love the dude in the driver seat "hows that for articulation?" lol
Are you serious!!!! That is unbelievable! Incredible work. So much for four link suspension I need what your having!
amazing, ive seen so many radical builds but this is light years past any four link long arm you can think of. awesome innovation guys. AAA+++
Wow, nasa needs someone to build some rovers, i think you need to join there team.
Awesome, im truly impressed at how you can have one tire 6 feet over the other, have full contact to ground and a even frame. Awesome concept.
Absolutely insane!! I used to build, install, and rebuild industrial hydraulic systems. The system on this is intense. I'd love to look at it up close.
I'm pretty amazed at the engineering gone into this, hugely impressive vehicle.
Your truck is off the scale - love it.
This is an engineering masterpiece!!
holy hell, that was impressive!!!
thinking outside the box there guys! very nice
I see a lot of sick rigs, but this has got to be the sickest!
Somebody freaking give this guy an award! Kick-ass!
wow this is by far the best atv i have ever seen its insane to be honest now i want to build one lol
Is this the thing I remember seeing on tv like 10 years ago? I've been trying to find videos and this is the first one!
The two guys in the background:
"-What's that thing doing?
-Whatever it wants!"
So true!!!
I usually don't respond to videos, but damn, I am super impressed. Now thats being different! BIG kuddos for you!!!
It is brilliant--well done. Backyard engineering at its finest!
Amazing!! Truly original design, my hat's off to you!!
Thanks for sharing your creativity with the rest of us.
that is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
I thought it would be stupid too, but that turned out to be very creative and bad ass. Smart fella that designed it. I'd like to see into the drive system.
his is exactly what I have had floating in my head for a decade! Except my idea has hydro-statically powered wheels too.
That's some damn fine engineering and fabrication.
awesome guiness idea of course if its the first prototype of course theres always some kinks to work out but its an extremely good start :) keep up the good work guys
He's definitely wining the RTI ramp challenge!
Transformers - SICK!!! Love the truck/machine!!!
That makes the list of one of the craziest driving rigs I've seen
If one was to put a set of trax on it, That could get to mast areas where only the chosen few could get at. Really crafty engineering, hat's off.
The engineering is f'n amazing! I think the suspension works like 2 crotch rockets built beside each other
I have filmed a lot of crazy rigs before and I have to say, that this is one of the most insane crawlers I've ever seen. Great engineering! I hope you bring that to Moab this year for the Easter Safari. I would love to come film it in action!
thats awesome, u've revolutionised off-roading!
i think it is an awesome approach to the future of offroad....i have thought of this suspension concept before, and he pulled it off great! it doesnt make it easier and less interesting, it gives you a bigger platform to leap off of!
I cant imagine the hours in this build. Wow well done..
dude... its a tractor...crawler....jeep....truck.... thing. but seriously, really nice dude. love it!
...and the cab stays level so you won't spill your drink!
Awesome! Build another one!
@cbremer83 I learned to drive off road back in 76..and currently own an off road shop..sorry about the confusion but I witnesse so many great ideas and cars ruined in their second model by focus groups that kept asking for trucks to be carlike or cars to be trucklike..and still thanks for shaking me out of my utter ignorance with your so rich and wisdomful comment...walker evans and shannon campbell combined with ken block are nothing compared to your limitless fountain of knowledge and skill
Absolutely awesome man, crazy design. Looks and sounds fun as all hell. Kudos
"How's that for articulation?" Funny guy, love it! hahahhaha
that whole chassi and suspension design is fucking amazing nice work 5*
I'm sorry.. this has to be the coolest thing I've seen in at least a week. Very fuckin' cool rig man!
wow...that has to be the best rig i have seen on youtube....keep it up...:)
That is just ridiculous! A++ for originality!
Now this is a 4x4 that can go just about anywhere!!!
That's totally amazing you should think of making a Contract with the Army.
Интересный видос. Есть куда стремиться. Мы в августе взошли на Эльбрус. А товарищей наших с вертушкой эвакуировали. Это был полный *****))
One of the best engineered machines ever!!
It's moon rover meets rock crawler meets monster truck meets WTF!... Great concept. Keep improving on it.... we'll be reading about you in Forbes in no time.
I just saw this guy and his machine on the show "Mad Scientists." They removed the spare tire, turned it 90 degrees and mounted it in-line with the other wheels so it acts as a wheelie bar. They get into the details of the drive system a little bit. Awesome machine, but it kinda takes the fun out of 4-wheeling in my opinion.
Incredible.Sound is also nice.Something like a Transformers.
I like the fact the springs are for suspension not articulation so it keeps good ground pressure on each wheel
Hell ya! Thats what I needed when I rolled my truck! Check out the aftermath of my truck and the amazingly quick way I removed the cab!
THE BEST 4X4 VID IN A WHILE BAD ASS!!!
Absolutely amazing! have never seen something like that in my life.
I was starting to be pretty proud of my flex, then I see this video haha amazing!!
This thing is amazing!! If I hadnt of seen it, I wouldnt have believed it.
I want one !!!
thats one of the best 4Xs EVER
this rig blows my mind. amazing. show us a video on rocks.
OMG its a UDO Unidentified Driving Object! Man does not have that technology!
P.S. awsome rig awsome vid...
I want one
awesome suspension, the best offroad ever
The baddest 4x4 on the planet!!
the logistics of making that 4 wheel drive is blowing my mind right now
What a killer machine this thing should've got all types of offroad press.
That right there my friends. Should win Engineer of the year (s)
Thats one of the coolest things I've ever seen..
AWSOME
Congratulations. Your design and its performance is awesome. I bet it will sell, especially if you can make a simple street version for sports enthusiast. Make more videos, we really enjoyed the ride through the rediculous terrain...
My buddy that is a metal fabricator an i have have talked about doing something very similar to this. You beat us. Bad ass fuckin job man. Hats off to you
that is INSANE engineering!
That is insane, want to see more!
coolest thing i've ever seen. thanks for sharing
Now that's a FULLY independent suspension.
ingenious, how does anyone even think of creating a beast like that??? well engineered, bet a lot of trial and error went into it.
Damn, that's Megathron! It can climb Empire State Building's outher wall!
Now THAT is a proper off road vehicle.
The army needs something like this.
I love it! Probably the coolest thing on four wheels I have seen in ages. What have you found to be the "weakest link" in the Chainlink component -wise thus far?
ho-ly crap that thing is awesome!! i want it NOW!!!! ;) great engineering
That things is a BEAST! Awesome dude, awesome.
1:03 He is saying like " I came here to chew bubble gumm and conquer this hese hills and I'm out of bubble gum "
It's an engineering marvel. It's a masterpiece.
This is really cool. I'd like to see a tow hitch on it .. pulling a trailer with the same flex design! I see so many tourist around here (Pismo Beach, CA) that get stuck trying to pull their trailer through the sand with their big trucks.
