Well, it *would* need regular excersize of course... :-)
Hmmm, when we play paintball at the BBQ, I call dibs on the 6x6!
;-) If we can get Barry to build about ten gattling guns for the back,
it could be a formidable platform. :-)
Heck, as long as we are sort've off topic - something I don't
understand about those trucks is that they are called a deuce and
a half, because their payload is 2.5 tons (5,000lbs). That's not
the part I don't get; the part I don't get is that my Ram dually
has a payload of nearly 5,000lbs, and that 6x6 has got to be so
much more heavy duty than my Ram that it isn't even funny. Are
they just seriously underrated? Another example is the 1/4ton
trailers that were pulled behind the Jeeps. That's only 500lbs.
Heck, we throw more than 500lbs into the cheap little ATV trailer
here all the time, and those Jeep trailers are clearly much more
sturdy than this ATV trailer. ???
