Storm Chasers - The 2008 Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV2)

[SkyyCaptainn]

Pretty cool, It looks like something from Mad Max movie

[gohabsgo1fan]

and a cummins! power power!

[darkwriter77]

Starting to think I should build one of these just to get to and from work safely. Between the psychopaths on crotch rockets, the drifter wannabes in import cars, and the out-of-state old farts driving big RV's and diesel pickups, it's a wonder I haven't been run over already.

[myculabig]

i want to see top gear test this XD

[stillwaterguy04]

The only flaw with this show is the continued presence of a drama queen/bitch named Josh Worman. I'm ashambed of my university, OU, for having that hideous creature on staff.

[calvinblinkee]

lol it looks like an advertisement to sell the vehicle.

[number0IX]

@calvinblinkee i would kill to get the TIV2 it's a monster, pretty sure it's better than the Hummer

[Brettonland]

omg i love tiv. and yes he already made it through a couple

[takerkanefan108]

i wonder if this thing would have actually made it through a tornado

[RaNDomSnIPe29]

there is a vid of one

[jdeluxtornadochaser]

Someone can tell me the name of the music, please?

[thetreklife]

The music is done specially for the Discovery Channel.

[BNSF5608]

They should have made it out of a Semi-truck frame.

[avianmaster]

Well they DID want it to be somewhat compact.

[soki96]

that is ugly i liked that car what looks like sport car was that a tiv3?

[JDL1352646546566]

no its tiv 2

[deejayzak]

Its the weight that kills it, thats why wheels fall off, wheel nuts snap, axles break, welds fail, they should have built it on a mack truck frame, one rated for the weight its is carrying

[cwtoland]

Music by Chris Toland Christoland Music.

[jdeluxtornadochaser]

But the name of the song? I'm searching with the composer's name but I didn't find the song yet. Can you help me, please?

[Steelerfan755]

last episode makes me cry go old tiv its last time out make a intercept plz

[ghost1103]

what a great commercial

[Graciethegreatdane]

It made me so sad when the TIV2 broke. It was so cool yet so flawed :(

[yudiputay]

a real badass powerhorse,had it been exactly under a tornado

[guzzling360V8]

no there doens't need to be a TIV III. What do you expect when you build something...theres bound to be some bugs that need worked out. so once they get all the bugs worked out it will be a mean dodge machine.

[2346]

i know whats wrong with tiv 2 it has design flaws its to heavy on the chasis and on the wheel thats wats maknig so much problem they need the tiv 3 to be more like the tiv 1 design except have it able to go off road so it isn't stuck in mud and raised more and have more to it so it can with stand stronger tornados

[randyvdven]

a street legal tank xD

[animalcrossing67]

If you guys make a TIV3, sell TIV2 to me. I want it as a car. LOL i hope it gets fixed in time!

[cyclonicterror]

at first it seems like a car commercial

[GeneralArrow]

Thats the idea

[currycockblock]

Its a real shame that thing kept breaking. Compared to the first tiv that thing looks mean. They need to build a 3rd one, perhaps study into its design and make sure it can withstand the weight.

[91CTD]

it has a 6.7 litre cummins diesel in it with g56 6 speed manual trans.

[spanketyspankety]

There is no way they plan on intercepting powerful twisters in that thing. If an 18 wheeler or a house can't withstand one, I don't think that will.

[thesecretfox1]

dude be amazed as what that thing can do.LOL have you seen the details on it.the armor is like 2 inches thick.think about it.the flaps come down so it doesn't flip.A HOUSE AND A 18 WHEELER ARNT CLASSIFIED FOR THOUGHS THINGS.

[lordivader]

Yes they do the first tiv was smaller and lighter and it has intercepted before!

[31casper33]

I hope they fix that thing. Its cool as shit!

[NICKLADD]

ahh but it gets replaced by the original

[alexbballboy]

can you imagine the feeling when your in that thing and theres a fucking tornado over your head!?!?!?

[leon2226]

there trying so stay off them

[moncky111]

why not just use a damn tank

[N0SP4MPL0X]

LOL driving an M1A1 Abrahms Tank into a tornado with loaded Sabot rounds!

[Kepkaaa]

Cant film in tank. Thats the whole point.

[ericinarcata]

A tank is to slow

[odyma43]

it's top speed is over 100mph

[Kepkaaa]

Some tanks can go 90km/h, 55mp/h

[Kepkaaa]

Some tanks can go 90kmh = 55mph

[takerkanefan108]

t.i.v. #1 is comming back on the 9th

[5family1]

these guys are pussyss

[currycockblock]

why?

[Borikuaedu3991]

You need to have balls to actually stand a few meters from a tornado,record it, and get the hell out of there so people like you see it.

[5family1]

give me a tank and ill doo it 2.. there stupid truck is falling apart

[MClown69]

freaking wheels fell of and the axel snapped. whats gonna happen next week

[Predatorfu9]

Well, a f-5 tornado will come running along and... well lets leave the rest to nature

[currycockblock]

Josh won't let them intercept an f5.

[MClown69]

do these people actually chase storms or just fix the tiv every week after it breaks down??? haha

[cheyenneredneck2000]

they chase storms in tiv 1 tiv2, breaks all the time buy ford lol

[MasterDark9999]

so when are you going to place the t.i.v commercial where the announcer says :Who is laughing now mother nature?:

[acecombat03]

i need one!:)

[Jerrycobra]

they snapped a axle on the 1st ep, lol

[jgray3021]

they should make it a 4x4 ... but it would probably get stuck in mud or somethin

[jgray3021]

nvm.. i didnt watch the video first.

[DMtactical]

I think it's a 6x6 but I'm not sure on that. The first one was a 4x2 and it did get stuck in mud lol

[GoGoserGo]

what is the base Vehicle; if there is any

[guzzling360V8]

its a dodge!! the only truck tough enough to go one on one with mother nature!

[tdbgg2]

its actually a ford

[guzzling360V8]

actually your wrong buddy. haven't you noticed in the new episodes the DODGE steering wheel, and the big RAM HEAD on the back of it, and i believe it might even say DODGE on the front of it. I just watched the new episode. your wrong.

[DrivenMind]

It was originally and F430, but it's some sort of Dodge platform now.

"The only truck tough enough to go one on one with mother nature." That's about the dumbest shit ever said. You could make a TIV out of whatever, queer patriotic marketing has nothing to do with it.

[bakonfreek]

WHAT THE F***

[wellslogan]

MPG?

[account0220]

it gets 10 miles per gallon

[KouterBangue]

[TimidALFONS0]

[AlvinEarthWorm2Z]

lol awesome that would be perfect for any driving

[zreiscool]

Road warriors!

[MageMonPure]

did i hear 10Million? 23 thousand 24 thousand! Sold to the monopoly man for 500Million!

[miragebird]

Now give it a grenade launcher and it'll fit right in with the army.

[milmiLxX]

i want that car.

[Trav1sP]

bet ppl would move out the damn way in the drive thou...lol 600hp comes up behind you you move that damn ass...

[serbianhero1389]

nice

[DPbg94]

where can I get one of those? :D

[harpooned]

imaginationland..hahahaha

[takkieman]

Just steal it :P

[DPbg94]

Dont give me ideas maaan ;)

[R3JTM]

i would like that car.

[skrr18]

cool

[AndrianGo]

Let's start a bet:

I bet that a 2x4 at full tornado speed (160mph) will go through that armor.

[Robshow35]

I actually saw it as it rolled through Clinton a few months ago...it even got front page in our local paper!!!

[slippp40]

its a real vehicle, but u cant buy it, its the storm chasers vehicle

[GreatBigSlide]

So is this thing for real? Or is it going to be one of those fake shows, where it's all a dramatization?

I saw something in Wired magazine about it,but it just went over all the things the vehicle can do. Which if it is for real, this thing is going to be pretty damn awesome.

[darthirule]

if you seen the first season of this show you would know this is real.

[DirtbikeGuy2009]

yea its real ive seen the actual truck before

[shubhamranjan]

and wtf is the point of that vehicle ... just drive a land rover in there it will be fine

[jgray3021]

i wonder how that does on gas

[DirtbikeGuy2009]

it gets 10mpg amazingly for how much it weighs

[jgray3021]

i'll say

[alexriveratr]

what's the vehicle's cost?

[HAJS5]

For the car itself probably at leas 20 grand and then all that metal and lights and hardware...It's DIY car and it would probably cost about 80 grand for parts and construction at the least.

[Moeh14]

Wow I want that vehicle lol, but it's kinda ugly.

[DaniMart2005]

mike rowe has been doing heavy duty truck commercials lately

[ExiledProduction]

nice lol

[DaniMart2005]

Nice idea with they way you presented it! Now get Mike Rowe, the bald guy from future weapons, and the Mythbusters to say what was just said in your commercial!

[lacrosse2man]

ok\

[NitroNerdPaul]

cool

[NitroNerdPaul]

2nd

[phillipsouter86]

nice
