On his F150?

They are Unimog 406 portal axles with 9.75:1 diffs, two 2.21:1 transfer cases back to back, and a 1st gear of 3.7:1 for a total crawl ratio of ...176:1.

All powered by a 1984 Toyota 3B with an aftermarket turbo, producing 135 HP.

for some reason those tyres on the sixty look bigger than onall4's truck!!

Post by **MQ080** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 8:15 pm

That just looks plain silly pete... give me a buzz and i'll hook you up with a set of "cheap" 35's

Trust me it'll make everything seem much more fun

Those wheels are huge!!

With tyres that big, no wonder its called Tippy!!!

How would this thing go offroad?
In the mud = unstoppable,
but on the rocks, with such a high centre of gravity
I reckon it would get sleepy. Not alot of arch left
for uptravel?

i'd have to agree. such a practical vehicle!!
to think all of us on here spend many months building our rigs to something special and people like this have so much time they can make a 4x4 that is useless.(well basically)
i do like the idea though and it's very unique

Post by **bundytunna** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 10:26 pm

yeah to think that all of us spend sooooo much money on our rigs to make them grouse off road and good on road as well
and then this bloke just goes stupid with the dosh to make a stupid thinglike that

but each to their own i spose :roll:
