Actually I remember there was a Range Rover a few years back that used that concept - it had air bag suspension from the factory (for all I know they still use it - I'm just not current on English Tech!) that would do all sorts of tricks, including automatically trying to reach for the ground if it became high centered.

It would also hunker down at highway speeds for aerodynamics and kneel at the curb for easier entry/exit.

Audi's Offroad quattro has a 4 stage airbag suspension, that raises/lowers with a switch or at different speeds. Mercedes benz is also testing a suspension system that alters the amount of camber on the wheels as you turn, depending on the amount of turning, speed, and traction conditions. Now that's autobahn engineering!

Well the little weenie wheels gotta go but could you imagine showing up to the trail and suddenly TA DOW... INSTANT LIFT.... then you could really test things out and hop over rocks and puddles and stuff... or even better... hop and land in the puddle...

Uh......that thing is cool, I wanted to do that to my Cheep Sahara but with 18 inch wire wheels. No one mentioned anything about the custom steering wheel. I am sure that rig sees more asphalt than dirt so might as well fix it per your enviroment. Props on the 3 wheel motion. I bet the :pig:s love that one.

But have you seen the type of :chicken:'s that they are usually with? They look like Well the ones around here anyway...

Hey, did anyone consider that he wasn't wheel hopping, but instead is just articulating on a hidden rock?
