2highpsi Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I just watched a bunch of really cool vids of this truck in testing. I sold a car to one of the guys involved in the builds son. He said Gale (spelling?) Banks was really cool and down to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just mindboggling. This is what it takes to motivate 5 tons. And conversely... Putting that much power/torque down and making it stop, turn, and climb 5000ft for a solid 10+ minutes means 5 tons of weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
