How does one change a tire on a beast vehicle like this if they are off the beaten path and it goes flat?

[luapskie]

@MrConversionVans 2 spares on the top, unload with a crane and electrical winch, lift the truck with one ore two of the heavy duty air pressured lifting cushions (can lift 40 tons 40cm each!), also on board, change the flat tire, load the flat tire with the crane and winch and of you go. The lifting cushions will also be a great help rescuing the vehicle out of mud and sand.

6 people prefer exploring desert by mountainbike

@rapunzelschlampe Youre right, it's a good but very difficult way to explore the dessert, and much cheaper to....

some little suggestions for the future. Have hinged steps so if they hit things from the front or back they just ride over it then drop back down (Like on the old Scania 142's) Maybe a hydraulic ram on the rear bumper so it can raise the bumper for offroading but allso help with loading trailers. Very nice truck thoe. Any more videos or pics of it?

@adamswindells1 I could send you pictures, just let me know.

klasse Auto, nur die Heckaufkleber müsst Ihr noch umdrehen, die sind verkehrt herum und die Heckstossstange würde ich wie bei einem Sattelkippauflieger klappbar machen.

Gute Fahrt!
