Payhauler 1000 8X8 twinsteer

[gator]

Hey Guys,
Some of you have seen this before. It has been sitting on the workbench untouched now for about two months.
It is a what if build. Kind of like the big Euc that Western Contracting built in the 50's.
I started out to builds a 6X6, but mucked that up. So I opted for the 8X8. IT is possible but I doubt it would be very practical. In most applications.
Enjoy the photos and as always comments are welcome.

Be Well

This is the one I've been waitin to see! The idea and concept behind t is about the coolest thing I've seen based on the Payhauler design. I'm looking forward to seeing this one completed. The frame as it sits looks like on of my Butler Brothers conversions of the same kit.
