Off-topic, but we had some really cool gear in the SeaBees.
An RT (rough terrain) lift has huge ballon off-road tires. The suspension
can be raised or dropped independantly for each tire. In addition, the
forks could be raised, lowered, opened left or right independantly or
together, they could also pivot front, rear, and 'roll' left or right.
You could 'trim' the vehicle for a steep grade in one direction and trim
the forks to counter that for a level load. The flexibility allowed for
some funky-looking trims.
Some of the Alpha Company guys could make thier machines DANCE to music.
It was like watching metal dinosaurs courting. Really cool. I'm not THAT
good, but I'm competant.
Regards,
Jeff
