DAT FLEX...
from the interwebs " It's chain drive to all 4 wheels.Built it all himself on his garage floor It does things on rock that no other rig can do but it's too heavy to compete. The owner says it's only 5000K or so, but I see 7000 to 8000 lbs of steel there. It is truly a monster. You will all want to see video of this thing in action. Today it suffered majot problems, but this was the first time out of the garage. Each wheel is independently controllable like don robbins rig but with no axles he get more articulation than any solid axle rig can. The delta between front wheel is about 6 to 7 feet! Seems to have a little less travle in the rear, I only saw about 5'. I don't know it might have been able to do more. On the lake been it lowered it's nose and rested the engine on the ground, they lifted both tires up two feet off the ground. Then it dropped it's tires back down and lifted the front end over 4 feet in the air. Both wheels on each side are connected to a double jointed lever arm. It also had left and right drive, he could drive both lefts and or both right tires. Or front tires, or rear tires. "

South Park never fails to get me to think "What the fuck?" in my head. Still laughing though!

To say, "I didn't expect to see this today" is a gross understatement.
Thank you for this. Really!
