No it's actually a prototype of the H2 with 4-wheel steer setting up to do an in place spin, sort of like the Jeep Hurricane concept.

[marin8703]

the metal shouldn't bend when you crash either

actually it should, its called a crumple zone. It is designed to absorbe the energy of the impact by incresing the time it takes for the vehicle(s) to stop. It is a very good design choice, saves many lives.

[marin8703]

good point! didnt think of that, guess it is better for the tie rod to break than sum else.

I like this one better

[HummerNewbie]

[KenP]

[PARAGON]

I'll see if I can get a pic of said root next weekend :p

[PARAGON]

I'll see if I can get a pic of said root next weekend :pdamn, next weekend... it's that soon

I don't think I can swing that. I'm missing all sorts of rides. My local guys are at Morris Mountain this weekend and I decided not to do it.

[Bully13]

I know it's a repost, But I'm glad. It's the first I've seen of it. To me it just serves as a reminder not to gas is to hard going through the rock gardens.
