This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The amazing part is that both vehicles in this picture get the same gas mileage!

Inshallah
Where is the racing series for them?
Monday Night Rehabilitation!
Beef Supreme!
Thank you. Now I have to watch it once again :D
There would be no overtakes. The thing blocks the whole track :) https://youtu.be/5oWiRKnAThU
So? Just get a bigger dirt track, like the width of a demo derby pit but a quarter mile track...
They should re-release Ivan Stewart’s Super Off-road & make this an unlockable upgrade.
You just drive around flattening all the jumps & crushing the other drivers.
V8 supercars for the smaller one.
saw one of these rolling coal at a Chic-fil-A
Don’t you start planting seeds for a Chik-fil-a food truck now…
Holy fuck thats giant! What are these things used for?
Hauling at mines.
There are pictures of large pickup trucks (think Ford F250/F350) flattened like a pancake ~~fire~~ from trying to pass one of these without alerting the driver they're there. When you're on a mine, these things always have the right of way.
“Toot. Toot. Mother fucker. I’m coming through.”
Ah yes, a new picture every MSHA refresher. No visibility on a haul truck when you have to climb a staircase to get into the cab.
I imagine this beast doesn't exactly stop on a dime, especially with a big load.
Train rules apply. The train always wins. The vehicle with a staircase to the driver's cab always wins.
Reminds me of the signs they used to have in Seminole County by railroads (could have been elsewhere as well)
"Big train, little car, are you passed the stop bar?"
I could be mistaken but I believe they move materials in rock quarries, at least that's what I saw on an episode of some discovery show many years ago. I still think about them regularly too since it's like 3 stories tall and has a stair case to get to the driver seat lol
Moving lots of dirt/rock cheaply. Mostly in mining.
AKA my zombie apocalypse truck. You could stick a fair sized RV in the bucket and live there.
I wonder what the overhang is for.
When hauling for a quarry, it's to keep the cab & driver from being smushed when the bucket gets filled with a big pile of boulders.
Eh Bagger 288 would win in a fight.
These are the types of tyres, that when they blow have inch thick steel cable in the side walls that could decapitate three men in a go. Ask me how I know...
How do you know?
Didn't find them til they didn't report in for lunch...
I'm so sorry
They we're decapitated, obviously.
