Cool new pictures

Finally put some pics in my gallery.....I imagine most will like the Cat powered swamp buggy / hunting rig. Let me tell ya, it'll plow a 8" wide tree down with ease. We're actively building the roll cage & bumper too, so I'll get more pics up as we progress.

jj, I wish I could answer your question fully. I'll tell you what I do know though...it's full time true 4x4, quite loud, really slow (like 15mph), and rough to ride in.
It's a 3 speed tranny, solid (to the frame) rear axle. Center pivot front axle. 18k pound pto winch on the front, and if you look on top of the muffler, that's a 90* piece of iron pipe for a turnout I want to put a 5" chrome stack on it.
I'll get more pics of the drive as we go through it. Don't know what if anything it was originally but it looks like it was built from scratch. My buddy Sam traded his older 25' ocean boat for it to some old timer. The guy has 8 more like it in varying degrees of usefullness, so if anyone is interested lmk.
It should be ready to hunt by the end of August.
