Serious off-road Man-Kat diesel truck 8x8

This thing seems to be in amazingly good shape. Get ready for the apocalypse.

I want one of those. It would sure be handy for hauling building materials home from Home Depot!
That's about as far as I could afford to drive it, probably. Did you notice the size of the fuel tank? 105 gallons! Yikes!

Yep, that's what I had in mind, although in the 8x8 configuration you could put a large garage in front of the camper box. Wonder what kind of fuel economy it gets. Parts may not be easy to find, but I love the accessability of the engine.

I like the crane On the camper conversion like the one pictured i've often seen smaller cranes mounted in order to handle lowering that MASSIVE spare tire. With the crane on this one you could pull a normal SUV out of the mud by just picking it up

Does the inverse truck size:penis size equation apply? Or is that only for domestic trucks? I can't keep track.

Only works on SUVs that have little off-road/expedition potential and are pretty much pointless.

Oh, I thought that was restricted to sports cars . . . If it applies to trucks then I guess that owning one of those would mean you probably have an "innie . . . "

IDK, Mike. I've seen it applied to pickups and heavy duty-based private trucks as well.

Au contraire, mon frere. Pretty much anything besides an econobox, small displacement sedan or station wagon. Oh, or apparently a Mercedes.

All I can say is that 4 kids later, outies are nothing but trouble!
