These are one of the things that scare the hell out of 4x4 drivers when using logging trails to get into the good offroad (unlogged) jungles in Malaysia...
They are colloquially called "Lori Hantu" and if you come round an uphill corner and see one of these creeping down the hill above towards you.... You have to take immediate evasive action. Get right off the track or back up and get completely out of the way. Lori Hantu have no brakes and when wet (as it is usually in rainforest) the muddy slopes are slippery and narrow so its too risky to imagine the Lori driver will succeed in squeezing carefully past you if you dared imagine there is enough track width for passing...

I could be wrong but the back wheels on the trailer appeared to be skidding, not turning. Yes? Is that their brakes?
They are scary. At least they have bodywork. Some of the ones I saw in Myanmar were just exposed engine and seats.
As you say, all you can do is to get right out of their way and never try to follow one up a steep hill.
It's optical illusion Mick, the frame speed coincides with the speed of the tyre diameter. Note the motion closer to the hub.
Hey wots this leaker bit I gave a concrete guarentee with any GM I rebuilt:Rolling:Quote:

Those jiggers would've been a flash bit of gear back then.
Was the Cat an old mech 3406/8?
As V8ian mentions its an optical illusion. Have seen plenty with varying degrees of bodywork present or missing. Old fruit crates for seats etc...Quote:
