Tread Lightly, my brothers!

Had to share this with my 3rd gen friends...

I don't know if I'm cringing because of the environmental impact or the abuse these guys are dishing out to their trucks. (Did I see a Dodge in there?)

Those look differetn than Unimogs. The 8 wheel things seem to have independent suspension.

I can't believe those 8-wheelers. They're seemingly unstoppable!

Yeah, those Tatra's are different from Unimogs. I think Unimogs are made by Mercedes?

Even if it was here in the US, that looks like a closed course. I don't think the Sierra Club could do anything about it except maybe

That red Tatra in the first part of video spooled hard and quick. Not stock at all, I liked it! Cool video.

I don't think they are doing any more enviromental damage then some of those sled pullers.

You also might want to direct link that video due to some of the comments.

But none the less thats an awesome video. I'd like to see some of their motors & specs.

I WANT ONE!!!! Maybe mount on a motorhome body on the rear and I'd have the sweetest ride/living quarters out in Glamis.
