Default The ultimate offroad "RV"




Some crazy ass F-650 custom monster built by Dunkel Industries. (could you think of a worse name?)

Clink the link for the full story and more pictures of this crazy thing.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/31/d...e-off-road-rv/

As their website puts it, Dunkel industries was built on the childhood dream of never having to stop because the trail was 'more than the RV could handle.' So they created a vehicle with "unlimited versatility" that utilizes a Fabco military-grade 4x4 system, capable of driving the luxurious "custom wood, leather and Fiberglass interior" to places no RV dares to go. And in case you want to bring some smaller toys along with you into the wilderness, the bed is big enough to haul a car. That bed also articulates to serve as a ramp to load dirtbikes or ATVs onto the roof. No trailer necessary and no 55-mph limitations for this beast.

That's neat and all, but they should try taking pictures of what it can do... and the interior...

The one picture they do have really doesn't show much, does it.

Other than that, that thing looks pretty cool. Not my thing, but I can appreciate some fine automotive work.

On an unrelated note, but not worthy of it's own thread, has anyone seen the CPS's badass TacTeam truck? The thing looks like a military vehicle. I wish I could add pics, but google images isn't producing any and that's about the extent of my will to look.

No... It's a blue military vehicle on wheels (not tracks). It's armoured like a money truck, but it's angles almost make it look like something from the latest Batman movie. It has some pretty mean tires (~35" or more), and a wicked lift on it as well. It could easily drive through pretty much any terrain the CoC has.
