Thanks for the congrats.
It is encouraging to know that others also get pleasure from the Hybrid project.

Regarding building a similar project. It can certainly be done on a budget.

Bill has achieved remarkable results in the past on an absolute shoestring budget. His 6x6 (see seperate ...

Hi All
Good to see the interest in the crawler box.

The Quadratrac unit is robust and not subject to failure on the Jeep.
Therefore they are readily available since they are not sought after as spares.

However, when I was sourcing for the Hybrid I phoned several Jeep parts specialists and ...

Obviously had Landrover door seals.

Hi All

Finally got the video of Bill's 6WD up and running.

With these bigger photos the download time to view the post will be very slow for those not on cable.

I finally made it onto the forum.

I must say it is very informative - what have I been missing?

Great to see so much interest in the Hybrid and good to see that your extensive expertise and knowledge is being widely sought.

If there is an interest I can dig out some of the photos ...
