There are some more pics on the HP, but wow, does this baby look like it would be a pain to navigate basically anywhere.

Forget Turning Radius !
You could basically get high-centered on speed bumps, curbs, driving through just about any stream or channel. Drive line must be really vulnerable. Good deportation vehicle for when it snows near the border.

It's got to be just brutal to try to navigate this thing basically anywhere...

If someone gives me 40 acres I may not care about turning around.

Those are pretty common in Las Vegas for use as party busses. That's all they are, usually crudely built.

From an engineering and practicability standpoint, the rear axle should be about ten feet forward. Even school buses look and work better. Who paid good money for that?
