Rick Hunts job...FED Bravo .

[X Ray]

I thought I would post a couple video links to the Fed Brave military demonstrator vehicle that I was hired to help build. I worked for several year in building prototype vehicles and this was buy far the most complex vehicle I have ever worked on. I has a twin turbo diesel V8 and it is also a hybrid vehicle with a A123 battery.
The goal of the vehicle was to show how fuel efficient we could make a troop carrier.
In the first video you will see I am the one with the bald head LOL. The time laps took over six months. Hope you enjoy. O yes the frame is all chrome molly and we made from scratch 98 % of the vehicle. The second shows the vehicle in action.

Very cool!

Do you need longer A arms in front?

They look short on that vehicle for some reason. Limiting the suspension.
No?
