Amazing. If you ever got it good & stuck, you'd need a f'ing TANK to get you out.

Thanks Doc. I might trade in the Land Rover for a Tatra from the Czech Republic.
By the way Tatra is also their highest mountain range, I spent my first vacation there when I was 8.

Default Try this Ardco 4x4
I drove an Ardco 4x4 when I was a young lad doing seismic survey in the Louisiana swamps in the mid-70's. They still make them. They could handle terrain worse than that video, primarily because they didn't have a rigid frame -- they have an AO joint -- articulated, oscillating -- with hydraulic ram steering from the center of the vehicle. You sat in a bucket seat straddling the transmission, surrounded by a roll cage/brush guard. You could ride up the trunk of a pretty good size pine tree until it bent over and broke, and normally didn't need the 16,000lb PTO winch until the mud got really thick and over 4 feet deep or so...but occasionally we had to radio in a breakdown...coincidentally near a field with magic mushrooms....oh we had some fun back then.

Man, that would be the ultimate shuttle vehicle. How many bikes can it hold? There's a few places in CO and UT where that would be perfect.

those vehicles look like a giant mechanical centipede. Where can I buy one?

Of course it would be a cool shuttle vehicle, I don't think everyone would be happy about inhaling a rediculous amount of black smoke...
