    Urban legend or Nuclear Tatra

    Yeah, but that is the only source I have found was the English>Russian site. I have my doubts that they ever even built anything like that. Would be rather feasible and Russia is so massive I could understand the need but I still doubt someone would do it. But, the reports sounded like not...

    4 wheel steering on a deuce?anyone done it?

    I know I might get really flamed for saying this but don't the lowrider guys have a lot of multiple circuit hydraulics figured out. All of the hoppers have electrical operated valves. Back to the Hurricane concept you could have each wheel with its own actuator/cylinder. The geometry for...

    Installing a Passenger Side Jerry Can Holder on a M35

    Yup, lets just say the '04 season paid for my college. My family is in the roofing business and the state was hit by I think 4 or 5 hurricanes that year. First one put the ole-folks out of power for 14 days, then the next one that hit was 28 days. I came home and ran a crew during the...

    Correct those are Dana 60s from dynatrac I think at least the front is. The boat hulling is designed for landmines and IEDs. Thank the Israelis for that one.

    Alternate Use of the Multi-Fuel Engine????

    Important numbers would be peak power and torque at what RPM. From there its simple to find what implement spins in that range or what you could gear reduce/increase to match the power requirements. Massive roto-tiller comes to mind, boat, winch, trolly, anything hydraulic, the possibilities...

    boxing the frame

    Someone piped up and mentioned boxing frames in the areas where high stress is seen. Like everything design should meet function. Personally I would box frames for added rigidity. As for designing a frame to act with a suspension like a Mog... I don't see many people doing that. You don't...

    Alternate Use of the Multi-Fuel Engine????

    Some of the diesel forums were a bust. I'm now interested with some of the applications I've heard here. Thinking from what I know of the theory of operations the multi is pretty close to a ford 300 6cyl in power. That said I've seen those engines in almost anything.

    fail-proofing full hydro steering

    The little experience I have is with a jeep. No power is my biggest failure issue. Other than that the new gen. orbitals that allow for centering and feed back are the way to go. Only real solution would be a electric back up red. system I think.

    The self propelled idea just makes me think of our neighbors down here at NASA. With the current cuts to the space program would love to pick up the Crawler which is this little guys big brother. Always cool to see someones find. I would have been heart broken to, when I found out it wasn't...
