I somehow missed this insane beast when it first appeared, but wow. On the HP, Brett describes the process of getting this baby tired up, and it's predictably nuts:

"The monstrous Super Duty isn’t even easy to transport, according to owner James Fleckenstein. For obvious reasons the truck rolls to events with its tires removed, and on a flatbed. From there, a chain is strapped to the bumper and rear axle so an excavator can lift it up. A pair of eight-ton custom jacks hold everything in place, while three guys work tirelessly to align the truck to its mounting points."

I can't even imagine how a weekend running this thing costs... There's lot more interesting info in the video below.

 

A truck that "broke the internet"

Riiiight....

 

My internet has been working fine.

 

I'm confused, exactly what aspect of that Big Silly Truck is supposed to break the Internet and why? .
If I built a single purpose vehicle I would want it to do that single purpose all by itself, like not needing an excavator to pull it back out of the mud puddle that it couldn't drive all the way through........
It's obviously not my cup of tea, but I do respect the time and fab effort put into the build, but I'm really not familiar enough with the Big Silly mud truck world to know if its even a good one. Either way, I feel pretty confident that the Internet will be safe from it.

 

yeah that thing is absolutely bananas! I would definitely like to see it in action.
