That's a shame that two perfectly good 8 lug steering axles have been wasted on that.

HAHA ya. Its a 80s blazer, with some sort of frame as a lift, with 2 cylinders and a large hydraulic ram, 4 wheel steer, and lots of redneck ingenuity/scariness.

Am I to assume that the Blazer can be raised and lowered onto the frame? Also, where is the steering, accelerator and brake linkages? I'm thinking drive-by-wire might be a bit high-tec for this application. I do applaud their ingenuity however. If this country is ever invaded, we will be saved by the redneck!

Looks like it is all hydraulic operated. And that took how long to make? I wonder how Chicago would fare If I bought something like that?

It's a portable deer stand. You drive it to your spot, raise it up, keep the coffee plugged in, start up the heater now and then, etc.

I guess thats what happens when the hood latch cable brakes, and you can't figure out how to get the hood open without it...
