Holy Rockcrawling Batman!!!

I was thinking since the supension is hydraulic maybe the drive wheels are hydraulic too. The text on youtube says chain driven from a 9" under the seat. MAybe chain driven to a pump? I'd like to see the drive and suspension setup on that thing...

The chains must be inside the control arms that go from the chassis to the wheels.

There is a piece of construction equipment with a similar idea, cant think what it's called though.

This must be the future of extreme rock crawling unless it's banned

Anybody else notice the guy in the Jeep was following him everywhere?

The Jeep had to take different lines on some trails, but it looked like the Jeep went everywhere the Rockcrawler did.

I'm just saying :)
 
Now cross that with the Duramax "buggy" from a few weeks ago, and you could probably climb the St. Louis Arch.
