GET IN! The Dominators are BACK!!! - Legendary tornado tanks return!

[@kevinburnes3216]

You should take Mr.Key with you as your mechanic and dominator engine and mobility problem solver!

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Agreed

[@johnsnow1355]

​​​@@ReedTimmerWxthose Goodyear duratrac tires u had on it were garbage. Up north they are used on logging roads and are constantly punctured by rocks and have 0 traction in mud. I was not surprised you constantly slid in the ditch with them. There are continental tires rated for the weight of a commercial vehicle that will have way better ride and puncture resistant. Keeping them mobile shouldn't be too hard they are just GMC trucks under the body. I would eliminate the electric roll up storm windows for manual slide up ones that are fail proof.

[@shonsberge]

@@johnsnow1355 Tires? Where they're going, they don't need tires! Just joshing! New tires are always a goo dinvestment!

Congratulations Reed! 👏👏👏👏 Your followers are happy about the return of the Dominators to the roads. Never stop chasing!👍

[@Roaming_Wolf]

I've waited a long time for this! HEY Dr. Timmer, you should put little tornadoes on the doors under the window for each time a dominator gets inside for an intercept, Like a fighter plane! You could put the rating or make bigger funnel stencils for each Fujita scale. Just an idea, would be awesome!

[@Holoavia]

They actually did this for the original TIV, but not for the Dominators (yet).

[@RodknockRhett]

@@Holoavia I wonder whatever happened to the original TIV. I remember there was a plan to restore it. That’d be amazing to see the one that started it all back on the road. But looks like it’s probably not going to come back.

[@RodknockRhett]

@@Holoavia That’s good to know. Didn’t know Sean sold TIV 2 but I do remember him saying that he was done chasing after his film was done.

[@johnsnow1355]

Is there a gofund or something to help repair these legends? The sponsorship potential of these vehicles is amazing there should be a line up of companies wanting there products and names to be attached to these vehicles for the 2023 season! From lighting to radar and navigation. Tires and fluid additives 😊 is there any possibility of adding starlink through the camera dome? It was pretty useless for any camera footage. I watched the entire Storm and tornado series and like once the dome camera was used. If starlink could connect through lexan to satellite the internet would always be working.
