so what do you guys think of that what axles is he running?

 

[73k5blazer]

Never seen anything like that. No clue what those axles are.

 

[muddysub]

kinda dumb...

 

[sandawgk5]

Just off the top of my head it is prolly a 9 inch center section. That is what most of the guys ran when I was a kid on there swamp buggies. All though the front appears to be a tractor so it could be the tractor axles.

[BozoWise]

No clue on how to search for it, but I remeber info on this in the past. The picture I know I have seen around.

Seems like those are a rig the utility companies use for marsh land

 

[OffRoad]

cool rig.

those are rolligon tires www.rolligon.com

no idea on the axles. looks pretty redneck, so prolly 10 bolts.

Was about to say that he must've had a hell of a time stretching those tires out to fit on the rims, but then OffRoad put up that link. To me, it looks like something NASA would use in the swamplands around Kennedy Space Center.

Yeah, that's where I seen it too IIRC it was in a thread with some other trucks from Florida..

 

[Cove-Rider]

it looks as though it floats those tires are so big

That's pretty much the idea

I have some pics of a Ford that I think was in the same thread that does float.. In fact it's in about 20 ft of water pulling a boat

 

[Cove-Rider]

hahahha sweeeet

 

[jekquistk5]

Not only can they float, but they can float with almost a 1 ton of cargo on the smaller models and the bigger ones can float with 15K
