I think "Tiny" is awesome and is only slightly more capable that those two, but Damn these two babies make "Tiny" look like a pile of twisted tube!

Even though they are still "Tube" they still look Nice!

I get slight wood over a few of the tow rigs ... let alone what they are towing .. my wife wishes I was into "Normal Porn" like all the other boys ... :twisted:

Very cool.

Love the look of the Krawlers.

These trucks seems to have grown smaller since the days of the Sniper etc.

I should drop around and have a peek :)

Seriously tho...the guys in the US can tow their rigs and then wheel them without having to worry. I doubt rangers/cops/park owners etc would like to see us wheeling these types of rigs in National Parks, 4wd parks etc :?

Some parks don't have a problem as their insurance covers unreg rigs. Manar has moto tracks, so of course most of the motos are unreg. Manar Park has the insurance to cover the motos and the unreg vehicles. I would assume that Black Duck would be in the same situation.

Thanx for the pix POS a few more to add to the Jeep collection.

The way i look at it is the yanks had the big rigs with hydaulic suspension and the like and now they have light weight with smaller tyres!

The type and style of competition has had the most influance!

When we get to driving what they are you will most likely see similar light weight rigs!

There are a few about and there are a few in production!

In a comp probably not in the top place getters. The courses tend to favour the smaller buggy type cars. Light, low CG, and manouerable seems to be the winning formula at the moment
