And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Imagine the motor and drivetrain it would take to move those tires.
Maybe not. But I doubt it has a very short turning radius. And those big tires will call for better brakes. Looks like that was built by somebody who knew what he was doing. Basically it's the old body on a new or custom frame. I can't identify the front suspension. It's not the factory straight axle/leaf-spring/drum brake setup. Certainly a cut above the postwar Napco conversions.
I just checked the videos. From the side the tires seem out of proportion. 36 inchers on steelies might work better on that rig. Didn't check build details but I noticed a big block and IFS.
looks like it calls for four wheel steering and an 8.2 liter cummins big dawg with a real transmission. four wheel steering is so much fun when off road. and the big cummins would provide adequate power when required.
...I wonder if the tires rub when he turns...
