  • 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..

    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.

    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.
