I’m dying to hear the update on this. I know Matt prefers gas for the off-road rigs but an LBZ / Allison combo with the military axles would be killer. Imagine if all three axles had steering ? At least two winches on the deck with two more on the sides, one in front and one wedged between the frame in back. I imagine a wheel lift would get wrecked off-road. Can’t wait to see this project from start to finish ! Be safe.

I’m pretty sure that was already the plan for those axles. You may have noticed that the derby car was sitting in the tow yard and it wasn’t already destroyed so I think it’s safe to ASSume that the potato truck was already in the yard when the axles were delivered. Just a hunch. 🤷🏻‍♂️

C'mon Matt! As a retired district manager for Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) Freightliner/Western Star, I have to call you on the "10x10" headline. The truck you have there is a 6x6. Truck configuration is stated by wheel positions, not number of rims and tires. If the chassis had three tires and rims at each wheel position, it would still be a 6x6.. I know I'm more than a bit pedantic about this subject, but it just chaps my hide to see a 6x6 called a 10x10. Sorry!

Watching you drive that thing reminds me of roading the water hauler when I worked construction. I was the only crew driver that had a CDL, everyone else had to have their water haulers transported, but I could drive it wherever. Not sure I _should_ have, since even less worked on it than you've got working on that thing, but it went. I did find out how fast it could go one time. I had always assumed top speed was 45, so imagine my surprise when somebody followed in a pickup one time and I found out it actually topped at 65. I think 45 was its top speed _in reverse;_ it had a second stick that went lo-hi-reverse so the main stick could still go through all 5 gears in reverse, though the ratio was lower. It was a 1979 Mack, formerly a concrete truck I think, and I have no idea how they got it to pass DOT inspections. I assume shenanigans. That old water hauler drove on the rear axles like that thing, though the wheelbase was a lot shorter. It actually wasn't bad off-road, as far as getting stuck. It rode rougher than that thing when it was empty, but put 16 tons of water in it, it'd drive a bit better.

"They shorten easier than they stretch, thats for sure" 😂 Just what you expect to hear in a rural hardware shop the world over. Off Road rollback sounds about the best use if combined with those mrap axels and a suspension upgrade.. (probably too stiff for this vs the weight they were designed for but maybe not) You can tell peanut isn't used to something that doesnt ride the bumps so well 😂

Matt!! I’m a marine diesel mechanic (CAT is my fortè) in sport industry out here on the coast of Texas and currently run a 42 yellowfin (if you fly out I’ll take you fishing). I bet that these ropes would be pretty badass as dock lines to prevent chaffing on tidal surges. I’ll order some ropes and keep you posted. Love you guys and love seeing ingenuity at its absolute finest!!

I'm a big fan of old school trucks. You have proven that you can build truly amaising rigs by compleatly changing most things around. I would love to see just what you can do keeping the origional engine and transmision! You could add a doubler to reduce the gearing or somthing like that, but keep the old power plant to let people see what it can do. Having all the power makes it easy to do a lot of things. But back when these trucks where new, thant wasn't an option and the old farmers done amaising things with them.

You won't be able to steer with locks on the steer axle, that's why the Mfgs don't offer steer axle locks on modern 4x4's. I've driven 6x4 (no power steer axle) cement mixers with both rear axle locked in and it took 3 football fields to get it to turn, with 4 sets of dual tires pushing it straight ahead. So with the mixers, you don't lock in the rear axles until you get stuck and can't move. Then you lock them in to get unstuck (hopefully), get moving again, and unlock them on the move so you can steer until you hit the next bog. Even with the locking rears you usually end up hooked to a heavy chain to a front end loader or excavator... Have fun!

I have an idea for your Spud truck… get a couple of salvageable 3 door suburbans and use them (from the B pillar back) to match the width of the truck cab. Then remove the back of the spud cab and Nate the cab to the morphed (or rather, ‘MORRphed’) suburban. This could provide ample seating for crew, dogs, or customers. The suburban wheel wells could be turned onto a place for a toolbox, winches, or replaced with properly shaped sheet metal. Make a deck so the back of the suburban can be reached as it could store ropes and such. Still plenty of room behind that for the world’s first off-road rotator boom… If interested I will send a rendering.

The Millennial Farmer is a good example of AG use for Yankum ropes. They use them too often, lol. Works like a charm every time. Last time was an 80,000lb seed drill buried and it popped right out. They swear by them. The claims are not BS by far.
