Best? Maybe for a day until you run out of gas lol

60

u/Little-Ad-9506 2d ago

And anyone can easily climb on that thing and stab you dead

13

u/Either_Amoeba_5332 2d ago

More likely you and your passenger are going to fall off and you'll run over yourself

5

u/screamtracker 2d ago

Those lawn chairs look bolted down pretty good I'd say 

2

u/Either_Amoeba_5332 1d ago

Needs some hay rope for seat belts.

1

u/musclememory 2d ago

Well, yeah?! You need that for the next Mad Max movie of course!

1

u/BrutalTea 18h ago

One zombie head in the belts and it's over.

u/Urban_Meanie 2d ago edited 2d ago

…Plus everyone can hear you coming from like 2 miles away

36

u/kwaping 2d ago

And zero protection from basically anything

22

u/isaac32767 2d ago

This is the Mad Max apocalypse, where there's always plenty of gas.

u/Randy-Waterhouse 2d ago

No worries, Furiosa is on a run to Gastown.

u/BlackClagger 2d ago

Diesel. But yes… have fun trying to keep that thing going .

u/willrf71 2d ago

Good thing it's diesel

u/Human-Location-7277 2d ago

That's what I came to say.

u/Scheisse_Machen 2d ago

Joke's on you, it runs on diesel

u/JSGi 2d ago

Diesel ⛽

u/wiscobs 2d ago

That belongs on the next MadMax movie, my friend! Even if it's in the garage and there is adding on to it .

u/Particular_Ticket_20 2d ago

WITNESS ME!!!!

u/Yourmomisamachine 1d ago

Witness!!!!

u/Ok-Entertainment5045 2d ago

I want to build one now. Anyone have an old semi tractor laying around lol.

1

u/Aimin4ya 2d ago

It's a monster truck without the cage

0

u/Hangi_for_btc 2d ago

Definitely not a “monster truck” it is a large truck though

u/VDAY2022 2d ago

How is it cooled? No fan and no radiator?

20

u/holzkopfausbasalt 2d ago

Aircooled Deutz engine, you cam see the inlet of the fan in the upper right corner of the engine.

6

u/b3elb3x 2d ago

This one is made by Tatra. T930 I think.

2

u/holzkopfausbasalt 1d ago

I think you're right. The rear axle would also fit for a Tatra chassis.

1

u/WhitePantherXP 1d ago

What kind of axle pivots from the pumpkin? Is it basically independent suspension in the rear? Very strange axle but very interesting as well.

1

u/VDAY2022 1d ago

Thank you!

11

u/ronnietea 2d ago

You seem pretty exposed and easily could shoot the tires if this was an apocalypse scenario. 0/10 but 10/10 for looks

5

u/ikothsowe 2d ago

The only tune on the 8-track is Duelin’ Banjos.

8

u/EBur3F8h 2d ago

Huffing that exhaust

3

u/All_The_Good_Stuffs 2d ago

Safety Guards for the flywheels?

Nah, more like Safety Suggestions

2

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

Ok , hear me out ... I've been watching a few India repair videos and...

What if they wear "Safety Sandals"?

And do Safety Squints?

6

u/runnywetfart 2d ago

Or run over the dog LOL

2

u/austinsutt 2d ago

Run over both his dogs. One on the front left and one on the front right.

3

u/oscar-the-bud 2d ago

Russia would use this in battle for one mission.

4

u/JoeSchmoeToo 2d ago

To give lung cancer to everyone who gets close enough

3

u/oscar-the-bud 2d ago

Then get blown up.

2

u/dwehlen 2d ago

Then get blown up stolen repurposed by local farmers.

FTFY!

3

u/burnthefuckingspider 2d ago

is that boy secured to the seat. heck is that seat secured to whatever it’s supposed to hook into? cuz those tyres are going to crush everything in their path

3

u/Active_Yoghurt7206 2d ago

Occupants seem somewhat exposed

3

u/Confident-Balance-45 2d ago

I have a question about the rear axle ...

2

u/WhitePantherXP 1d ago

Same! What kind of axle pivots from the pumpkin? Is it basically independent suspension in the rear? Very strange axle but very interesting as well.

3

u/SirRidealot 2d ago

A proper redneck childhood.

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

Did someone say Grape Kool aid?

2

u/strtbobber 2d ago

I thought the driver was an old lady...🤣

2

u/isaac32767 2d ago

What, no electric guitar?

2

u/SgtPeter1 2d ago

Terrible post apocalyptic vehicle! How would you keep the zombies off of it? They’d get you in a second!

2

u/Peixao131 2d ago

It’s all fun and games until we roll and Timmy gets squished.

2

u/Proper_Protection195 2d ago

Everyone knows the answer is old 7.3 idi's Them and cockraoches will run the planet in the apocalypse

2

u/5th_gen_woodwright 2d ago

I hear it goes 100 smiles per hour

1

u/Makesyousmile 1d ago

Can confirm!

2

u/Capable-Door-6423 1d ago

That’s good old country living! Only thing they’re missing is a jar of moonshine🤣

4

u/Known-Town2412 2d ago

Less IQ than that thing has uses.

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

I do believe you have stumbled upon the wrong "sub", Sir.

After 35 years experience, one would think you would know which subs you like.

🤷🏼

/s

3

u/StupendousMalice 2d ago

Loud, slow, inefficient, and with the cargo space of a Corolla. Smrt.

3

u/bigmountainbig 2d ago

for sure a rad dad

2

u/Dramatic-Maine-55 2d ago

Where would it find fuel?

2

u/Tbone_Trapezius 2d ago

Next up: little Timmy gets a mouthful of gas and climbs over to the air intake and squirts it in.

2

u/Unsophisticated1 2d ago

The minute you bump something at the front the belt pulleys are shot just saying.

1

u/Pacman454 2d ago

No cooling system?

2

u/10sameold 2d ago

I think it's based on a Tatra dumper, they had air cooled engines

1

u/niceandros2024 2d ago

Mad Max XXI..

😂😂

1

u/TripluStecherSmecher 2d ago

those rear wheels...Tatra?

2

u/10sameold 2d ago

Seems to me. Also, air cooled motor.

1

u/JIVDM 2d ago

Monster truck from scratch?

1

u/lujodobojo 2d ago

Is that an old Monster Truck? Or Tractor?

1

u/JoeRobertBal 2d ago

How do they cool it…

1

u/Designer_Situation85 2d ago

Ive never seen a truck like that with irs 😲

1

u/UncleJulz 2d ago

George Miller will be giving this guy a call.

1

u/DinoSnatcher 2d ago

That thing needs more weight on the ass

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

Would it then be asstastic?

1

u/AnyoneButWe 2d ago

I want one.

But with a shorter gear ratio. That launch looked like stopping on an incline is an issue.

And more cargo space, including a crane to get stuff up there.

1

u/GiladM 2d ago

His smile says everything you need to know

1

u/Gigglenator 2d ago

That’ll take a 1,000 gallons of guzoline in Madmax

1

u/satori0320 2d ago

Considering the potential to be mauled to death by those tires, I'm thinking some form of restraint system would be installed before the test drive with your small child.

1

u/Mundane-Parfait-7726 2d ago

Best more like the worst, this thing has zero protection, is very loud and chugs gas, you know how hard it is to change a tractor tire?

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

How many sentences should that have been?

1

u/dnundr 2d ago

The best thing about apocalypse is diesel is everywhere. It's Good because this thing looks like it takes 10 gallons a secon.

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

Are you a lesbian? You left out the "D".

1

u/Best_Poetry_5722 2d ago

Come on internet, do your thing.

WHAT IS THIS THING?

1

u/lucassster 2d ago

Well, looks like an old engine with a frame and honestly zero protection. Hopefully post apocalyptic is a nicer place.

1

u/TapPsychological2043 2d ago

The look on that kids face is like " U sure this is a good idea dad" 😳

1

u/Individual-Grade3419 2d ago

mad max vibes 🤘🏻i bet it runs even after a emp strike haha

1

u/doesdrums 2d ago

This guy must play r/Crossout

1

u/Secret_Ad9059 1d ago

That thing pulls Hummers out of the muck!

1

u/Charlie_Linson 1d ago

Is that not just a monster truck without the body?

1

u/Strange_Gap6930 1d ago

-200 stealth points

You have attracted the hoard and every bullet near you

1

u/losernamehere 1d ago

Dammmm! That’s a v12 diesel?!

1

u/CorvetteNutt81 1d ago

Mad max farm addition

1

u/Ok_Advisor_9873 1d ago

Hell yes!- only draw back is the width- otherwise killer

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

Man , these comments would believe you thinking that people of Reddit wasted absolute ZERO of their time ...

Yet here they sit (myself included) commenting on a post that hasn't any consequences to themselves. Commenting on comments of people we will never know.

"Low IQ" "Are they strapped in" etc ..

Get off of your high horses.

1

u/bastormator 1d ago

Fuck yeah

u/Predominantinquiry 20h ago

“Grab some chassis! Me and Ernie Michael take you to the next depot ‘for the skin moles pick yuns clean.”

u/cheesecrystal 17h ago

Combine this with kill dozer armor and weapons, then maybe.

1

u/mipotts 16h ago

Out fucking standing!!

1

u/Herps_Plants_1987 2d ago

Unfortunately EMPs and lack of good fuel will render this thing useless.

3

u/towerpower12 2d ago

Emp shouldn’t create any problems

2

u/Herps_Plants_1987 2d ago

No electronic parts?

5

u/Gutless_Gus 2d ago

Nothing fragile enough to be affected by an EMP.

2

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

🤣🤣🤣

EMP's?

Yeah , I play Far Cry occasionaly too.

1

u/Herps_Plants_1987 1d ago

🤣 I’m more of a Fallout kind of guy… What do you think will cause the next apocalypse? Nuclear weapons. There will be EMPs during this period of renewal.

2

u/Confident-Balance-45 18h ago

Fallout was my first game. 👍🏻

1

u/Herps_Plants_1987 18h ago

It’s one of the best 👊🏻

1

u/EARMUFFS-GAMING 2d ago

That guy fucks

1

u/Effective_Stick_4473 1d ago

Anyone else noticed that he had to pump the crap out of the clutch just to get it into gear? That makes it a big nope for me.

1

u/Confident-Balance-45 1d ago

Tell me you know nothing ...again ... But mean it this time.
