there had been a few drop outs. Greg I reckon you should build a body like the beast rather than go the soft top route :roll:

and add a bit of frame pivoting for good measure

VERY cool.

I like they way they still have a bit of style to them and aren't simply tube buggies.

BTW, what tyres are they on the truck???

Post by JK » Fri Jun 06, 2003 12:25 pm

OK, I just checked and they are (to quote Four Wheeler mag)

Tires: 44-inch Ground Hawgs

They certainly have had some creative cutting.

That truck can roll, and still be upright :lol:

Don't like those two rigs tho...looks like an army convention :lol:

I love the M75 but not so sure about the Beast thing looks like an Action Man toy. I'd imagine the M75 would be interesting to say the least to drive on road. The beast thing actually either won or came 2nd in the drive section of the comp

Hey grimbo

The M75 was an APC not what you see here.

This is also NOT a M715 which was a Jeep truck Not sure exactly what it is but it not a M715
