No room for Hans. And if your stuck somewhere no room to sleep. I'd be more impressed if it came like this off the showroom floor.
Otherwise it's a pretty cool truck.

I like.. Of course I am a Ford guy so go figure eh... But I love my Hummer.. Would not trade it for nothing...I am not a brand hater, as long as a truck does what it is suppose to do, it comes down to style and needs.. But yeah, do that to the Raptor, but that would be missing the point.. You can offroad in Fords ecoboost F150 and still get good mpg... I love the donut reference.. Had me laughing... I love my 4x4's

My favorite part is, well most of you guessed it, the IFS. Ultimate Adventure is a group of sponsors and hand chosen people that go on a week long adventure through the toughest trails around. Best of all, throughout the journey of multiple states they all must make it to each trail under their own power, talk about making a bulletproof rig. No trailers and all must be street legal. Each year Rick Pewe (the guy in charge) gets a rig for UA. Every year, every rig has been Solid axles, expect Tim Hardy who had an IFS rig for one of the many years he attended. All their builds for Rick have been over the top with cool gadgets. While this IFS isnt cheap (Petersons 4WD magazine said 1 axle shaft was $1800 a piece) the rigs in the past with solid axles werent either. I am just happy to see IFS used in an abusive way for a week and actually held up pretty well.

A buddy of mine said this was at King of the hammers a few weeks ago and he drooled as it went by. The suspension on it seems so soft in the video, it kept bouncing its way up the hill...

While most guys run nice expensive equipment on UA, Tim hardy doesnt. He was the only other one to run IFS one year and it was with a sidekick I believe, need to double check. I have seen most guys run 37's+ and big V8's he uses a 35 and very low budget items. I guess you can say he is a really good driver!

Here is a video of him on an interview about his samurai...pretty funny and he seems like a cool guy.

Very cool! I love Ford trucks in the first place so this is an easy one for me. I especially liked what they said about IFS and no diff in the middle :-D They'd like an H1 I'm sure
