I guess Im not sure what a interaxle differential is, if you see the drivetrain on the youtube video previously mentioned you can see there is a differential on each axle there is a I guess you could call it a transfer case between the front and rear axles except it is mounted above the tube...

The auto tranny would definitily be an advantage in that respect!! Ill leave the dueces out of it, I dont know of any official facts about actuall offroad differences as far as which is better etc. Ive never driven a different 8x8 so the duece is my best comparison. but I get your point. My...

for highway driving you just use the two rear axles for power. There is a selector to engage the front two offroad if you need it and there is a different selector to lock all 4 axles. The center tube is totaly immersed in oil, it is not real easy to access inside it but you can take it apart...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra I will definitily be in the market for a Maz if I could find parts supplier.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra Yes I can definitily agree with that, especially crossing ditches, Much smoother ride, I was actually comparing the 6x6 tatra to the 8x8 both have the 2 front steering axles, the difference is the absence of one of the rear axles on the 6x6. The whole chassis tube is...

yea who knows, they are I think superior and look better :lol: Anyway your truck is looking very nice. Does the truck have a stock spare tire next to the generator? or is that just where you decided to put it? Is your heater aftermarket? If so what brand it looks to be nice and compact.

Bjorn just curious why the military didnt build/use more of the 8x8 technology like your truck and others. I guess there must be some drawback to 8x8s, Im just not sure what it is.

looks very nice, with the genset installed it reminds me of the MAZ.

That would be neat to build, I wonder if you could use a huge auger of some sort. They might have too much bite.

I will take a look, I love seeing all the different ways these truck manafacturers design things, especially the unusual designs are most interesting to me. Have you seen that screw driven Zil ?Wow now thats a idea, at least for snow. Is there a forum for the m656/xm757 on steel soldiers. I...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra The 6x6 is a awsome looking truck I always wandered if the 8x8 or 6x6 had a advantage offroad. I see most of the truck trials guys using 8x8's maybe because of availablilty. I dont think it would be too hard to convert a 8x8 to a 6x6 though by looking at the chassis tube.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra I saw you have a OT-64 for sale, is it in America? and how much are you asking, I love those things.

RE: Re: RE: Tatra Chris is the 25% import tax a pretty recent law? Thats a real bummer especially with the exchange rate driving the cost of the trucks up even more.

I agree on the engine lacking a bit, but it is really old technology. As far as the suspention setup, and all the factory setup offroad ability, I still dont think there is much out there now which is 30 years later that is better or in most cases equal. I dont know of another independant...

Every state in the U.S. is a little different with the restrictions but you are pretty close.If you need it for more than that you will need commercial insurance it sounds like cranetruck has a awsome price for his duece policy (who are you insuring that through). I used to have a Freightliner...

now thats funny!!

poor guy is taking a beating on this thread. Personally I love the military theme but Im all for customizing a truck, all the red wouldnt be my personal choice but if you are putting time and money into a truck you might as well do it how you would like. There are so many levels of the guys...

Yes it could, it depends on your D.M.V. laws, over here you have to prove you actually have some sort of farm that is for profit from what I have heard. It is a lot easier to register it as a antique vehicle, or a collector specialty vehicle. It has to be 25 years or older and you cant use it...

I believe the regular brakes are all pnumatic, no hydraulics assisted like the duece.
