sorry for the tease ... the video isnt here yet. a buddy sent it to me in email and i cant figure out how to post it here. it shows how secure the concrete barriers are at the entrance of military bases. any ideas how to get it from email to here ?? maybe i can 4ward it to one of you more computer savvy fellas and let you figure it out. scott

 

Post it on a webpage and then just post the link??? keep the strain off of the dtr server.

 

TEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang gotta keep checking back now!

 

PM me and i'll see what i can do

 

Sorry it took so long. I've been busy lately. Anyway dieselcrazy can elaborate on the video more. It is pretty interesting.

Here it is

DTR, please don't kill my bandwidth!!!!

 

holy jeez. thats crazy. i guess i know now not to try that. i wonder how that would hold up to a tank or some kind of rpg or something.

 

Yikes!! ......It doesn't look like the box was loaded.....I wonder what the outcome would have been then?

 

I like how the cab just snaps off...

 

the vehicle is being used to test a vehicle crash barrier, no one was in the truck. (assuming this is the same video I have)

 

heres what came with the email ......

that is insane!! thats a mack dump truck!...probably the heaviest and strongest chassis u can get in any rig (except a big ol crane rig)...that wall is only made of cement?? thats crazy...wow it snapped the mack in 2 im still in disbelief

 

Why do they always use good trucks foir this stuff?? As if we dont waste enough as it is. Why not go to the junkyard, and get a piece of junk instead of something off the showroom floor? That wall must be crazy strong though!

BTW....Looks like a Ford dump truck to me

I wonder just how far into the ground those things go. I wonder where a guy applies for a job doing stuff like that?

They got applications to drive remote control dump trucks there?
