More footage of Robby's stretch Lincoln rock crawler on the trails of Moab, doing amazingly well.

My stepbrother, who lives in Seatle area decided to make his 2nd wedding in Las Vegas.
He arranged officials to come to Red Rock canyon and have open-air wedding in beautiful scenery, while most of about 15 guest flied there.
So single limo (converted Cadillac SUV) was all it took to drive everyone around.
Sure ventilation in older limo during 100F weather was so-so, but we cooled off in "Minus 5 ice bar"

A 15 passenger E350 Econoline probably would have worked just as well. and the rear ACs in those were amazingly effective.

Never mind. I saw the initial posting date of April 1 and just assumed. . .

Robby finally downloaded his video of limo on "Hell's revenge".
Love Paul's comment "the only thing it is missing is Jacuzzi"

I love what Bobby Layton does, but he's awfully obnoxious at times.

I gotta say out of all those vehicles, Matt's "Worlds Biggest Offroad Wrecker" is the most impressive. Completely custom build from the frame up, using MRAP military axles, a 8.1L LS with double reduction gears, and freekin HUGE wheels, and rear wheel steering. It walks up the gnarliest terrain like its a walk in the park. The 1950s vintage International S200 cab is just icing on the cake.

Spotted one like that in Boston a while ago, but it was white should have taken a picture then. Same rims though so maybe they start with a base car and then stretch it.

Looks like several companies have stretched W212's, including Binz (who made the original of that orange wagon model), Remetz, etc. Hilarious, the Remetz stretched the E200 and E250

His Morvair walks the rocks pretty good as well. The only feedback about bad side is too high gearing for rock crawling, but this is recovery vehicle after all.
Youtube makes millionaires. I watch " Matt's" from the beginning and the guy truly deserve the fame, even I think at this point he is getting more income from selling T-shirts than from off road recovery.
Bad part the biggest youtube millionaires are "more money than brain" guys. Shows how society evolves.

I thought the Morrvair had a compound reduction gear on the transfer case so it too has a super low-low ? Of course, they kept upping the tire size which has the opposite effect.
