    Articulation?

    How about this thing?


    "The T-Rex is powered by a V10, pumping out 350hp and 500 ft. lbs. torque. It breaths through a custom snorkel and Flowmaster dual exhaust. It has three 2.5 ton Rockwell axles with Detroit Lockers in each axle. Its only weakness is turning radious. This will be fixed with upcoming 6 wheel steering. The T-Rex has been in 13 magazines, three TV shows, Four Wheeler TV, ESPN, and numerous DVDs. "

    Yep, all you have to do is go to X-Eng, in England.
    http://www.x-eng.co.uk/
    They supply an extended artic kit, called X-Flex, for coil sprung Rangies that is VERY impressive, they have a small video that shows some remarkable articulation.
    They also supply a disc handbrake conversion that bolts to the front of the rear diff, also very impressive.

    bill larman made a 6wd 100' s111(?) years ago. rear wheels had about 800mm articulation from each other.
    the nice touch was it had bullbar and belly wheels to climb over a 1m diameter tree that happenned to fall across his property. its amazing looking arouind that place the chassis is still there. was an article in overlander years ago. when they were out taking photos the crew was amazed how it all worked. when bill said they should take some photos of the underside, he gently layed the truck on its side for them.

    I used to have a video clip of Bill's 6x6 driving over that tree. Unfortunately on a laptop that had the hard drive fail
