Strange and Wondeful 4x4s

[Grover-98]

Hey Guys and Gals... why doing the usual random image searches of 4x4s i get some odd creatures appear. And it got me wondering what pitures do you guys have of some strange yet wonderful 4x4s? (6x6, 8x8 etc)


Here is one i just found.

This is a actual working tourist bus that goes up in the sand dunes .....

Not strange .... but good to see, as a daily worker ....

[Landy110]

Looking at the first one and scratching my head......
Why would you need a light weight mesh guard over the front of what seems to be a steel plate nose?????

I hope that isn't an Aldi winch on the front of it !

[Phoenix]

that first one looks distinctly like a mine blast protected vehicle!

Really nasy mozzies?

I thought the same thing!

[dullbird]

perhaps its to catch the people that fall out the front when the brakes are applied:D

[Chucaro]

My only explanation is that it is an amphibious vehicle to explore the lakes in USA

[series3]

I reckon this thing looks pretty wierd:

On the 1st one it is a fish net that you lower into water as you are making a crossing and viola you have your dinner.
With the 4x4 bus they use a similar thing in Churchhill Manatoba, Canada for Polar Bear watching.

Yep I think you're right. I remember watching something on foxtel about it. The 'V' shaped hull is so that if a mine/IED is detonated beneath it the force is deflected away from the vehicle rather than up and into it like a 'normal' vehicle.

[dullbird]

I dont know but I reckon it might be more reliable now:lol2: all they need to do now to improve it is change the body for a cart

that first one looks like it's from south africa. i think it's an APC with the roof cut off.

[Outlaw]

Da Hulk is a well constructed vehicle... i've had a crawl over that one previously :D
