Eagle Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 or ... some people have more money than common sense. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6760511/Abu-Dhabi-Sheikh-builds-incredible-ten-wheeled-vehicle-military-truck-Jeep.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 What in the world?? Looks like a train, Mercedes/luxury suv type front end, Jeep cab, Dodge dart rear end... I'm completely failing to comprehend any aspect of to what and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Cracks me up to see the luggage rack on the back with matching travel trunk. Oh, and the Durango rear bumper/tail light setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 seems like that could have easily been some kind of ultimate land-yacht, but instead it's a... 4 seater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Pete, I agree, I'd be more impressed if it was a huge 10x10 limo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 All I keep seeing is the car from the SNL cartoon "The ambiguously ghey duo". Tell me there's no resemblance, LOL. But, if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't care what anyone thought. Come to think about it......I'm broke, and still don't care what people think.

Eagle Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Apparently this beast was constructed on the chassis of a U.S. military Oshkosh 1075 multi-load vehicle platform. But that's a cab forward chassis, so this involved more than a bit of custom engineering. I want to know what the front clip is from. It looks like a 1940s or 1950s Diamond T or Reo nose. 1947 Diamond T: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyav8r Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 As long and high as the front of that thing is there’s no way the driver would be able to see the road 100 ft., maybe more, ahead of the front bumper. The worst place to be would be directly in front of him at a stop light. That thing would drive over a full sized sedan without slowing down. But then, why should the sheik be concerned about running down a few of the commoners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenotenick Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Looks like serious overcompensation to me. The only way he could impress me with that is if he jumped it over his fifteen wives, each in their own Lambo. Evel Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, from Abu Dhabi Knievel.
