goddammit gimme the truck and no one gets hurt. Here is another truck. This is an M123A1C and I want it badly.  That's a Fiat Allis 31 bulldozer which weighs 70 tons. The blade is 18 feet wide, for a sense of scale. Truck info: http://www.vannattabros.com/truck6.html quote:The problem with cutting cookies with a 6x6 is that you shortly meet the semi trailer going the other direction which spoils an otherwise thrilling ride. quote:Unbolting the cab is best accomplished with a really big ( 1 1/2" drive) impact wrench. It is made to come off easily...

How about a car that thinks it's a tow truck? It did actually tow my van, and didn't make any fuss about it.

The text on the second truck's front rail translates to "Work safely for your family waiting at home". Click for even more enormous. Memento fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Mar 6, 2015 |

I used to deliver to a coal mine that used a truck/trailer set-up for their massive mining trucks. I could never find any info on them. I think i remember it was some french name. The highway in went under a land bridge that the trucks drove over.  I'll see if i can find some stuff on the trucks, i think it was a french name or something, might have started with a P semi-related:

Butt Wizard posted:Does anyone want to know what a 25 year old R32 GTR looks like when it's in 4.5B condition out of Japan? A couple of friends have them, one has thrown serious amounts of cash at his and it's pulling 850+bhp, the other has his with a 'mild' 300+bhp but they're seriously pretty cars in the flesh with a nice set of wheels and a tasteful kit and photos never really let on the length of the bonnet. It's making me think naughty things but luckily my lack of cash is holding me back at the moment. The 'fast' one  And the 'slow' one  They meet up with another buddy sometimes.

MetaJew posted:Yeah, who the gently caress That's different in a car where you have to make either minor/precise inputs like in Nascar oval races where the steering is set up for it or in the DTM where you have a ridiculous steering rack ratios because yours car are basically F1 with roofs and tiny steering wheels. Your average Toyota Corolla driver is going to lose about half of the steering motion they can generate by sitting right up by the wheel, or even too far back.

Mooseykins posted:I wouldn't say they sacrifice driver comfort. Maybe space, a bit. A lot of the cabs have flat floors and high roofs, so they're pretty spacious inside, but not so much as the huge sleeper cabs on American trucks. They're also not lacking in comfort, the cabs are full-width and, unlike American trucks, the cab is suspended as well as the seats. American trucks do have air-suspended cab and seats. I personally love seeing Reliable Carriers trucks. The sleepers are crazy big. .jpg)

The biggest, craziest, chromiest trucks are always the ones at the airport hauling jet engines for AOG rush. (Aircraft On Ground means get it there loving YESTERDAY, price be damned.) It's always a husband/wife team, and they're always sitting in camp chairs outside their truck while they wait for the load to get finished. Bonus points for stupid crying kid wood lawn ornament outside with the camp chairs.

I actually work for a Heavy Haul trucking company, I feel so thrilled to be able to get in on this. I'm relevant!  Here's one of our guys pulling a 17' x 17' crated aircraft engine. Needed double police escorts and a bucket truck to lift powerlines wherever it went.  And another one, different truck.  I think this was a piece of an asphalt plant we took apart? These guys rarely move anything less than 65,000lbs. Our biggest truck can go up to 11 axles and has no problem commanding $8 or $9 bucks a mile. We just pulled a pair of CAT 777Fs from Alabama to Wyoming for $30k a piece.

I figured they would go higher than that for $ per mile. Our standard 13'6" dry vans run $7/mile during holiday season. Rest of the year it's $3-4.

Whenever I think of trucks hauling large stuff I pull up the article about hauling what would become the SR-71 to Area 51. All pictures taken from here - http://www.roadrunnersinternationale.com/transporting_the_a-12.html

One in the same! Can't stand most of the people over on the WAL forums. If you're not running the full evo double throwdown coilover system you're rig isn't worth a poo poo apparently!

 So apparently that guy is building that car to do five seconds in the quarter, 300MPH in the standing mile, and Drag Week. Pretty loving awesome if you ask me.
