Nice.

Prior to this iteration in Jeep's I'd look at that vid and think - nice long suspension travel.

Now, as I get deeper into the off road world, I look at that vid and think of the drivetrain's loading/unloading (shaft twisting) as the suspension unloads then loads (compresses & gains traction) while under power.

Nice! I'll take one of those and absolutely no laws....

Here is a little more suspension porn. I happen to like Robby Gordon's 'Take no Prisoners/Hammer down' driving style, too, whether he has 1, 2, 3, 4 or no tires on the ground. They tend to put a little thought into the suspensions on those rigs. After all, most of them are set up for 250, 500, 1,000 and more miles of that same sort of abuse....

And one more. This one shows some really sick travel at speed:

Watching these (aside from getting my adrenaline going) reminds me of watching hydroplane racing on the Detroit river when I was a kid (had an uncle that raced). Thrilling and crazy (and by the looks of it, significantly more stable/room for error).

Suspension porn.

X2!!!!! Front end touches the ground just enough to let the truck make the corners. And I love the speed wheelies! You know it goes when it can keep the front end up with power, air flow and speed!

I would love one of those too! If I build another ride it would be a prerunner.
