Black buggy with orange suspension=badass. The way they got the angles threw me off for a few minutes. I admit I had to rewind a couple times just to be sure I was seeing it right lol
Good spot on the propane tank, the green buggy is running a turbo diesel. here the whine after throttle is applied? The propane is injected in along with the combustion charge much like nitrous would be in a gasoline motor ( not really the same thing but good analogy to start with)
frig i want one baddd..they look like so much fun, we atv around the east coast here and ive seen the odd buggy but nothing as high end as this..awesome
@broncozilla1 We tend to wheel all year long. The best wheeling is in the fall when it isn't so hot. Most riding we do is in Tennessee and Alabama. If you are serious about coming over send me a message and maybe I can help you out.
There is this crazy physical phenomenon when big tires with big widely spaced knobs spin at a certain speed they appear to stand still...does that answer any questions about lockers? if not then these trucks wouldnt have ever made it up these hills so the answer is yes they do have lockers. Athough the drivers need to stop being afraid and just go for it.
Yeah the side lugs look like TSLs but the center lugs dont resemble them at all. Not even tread cut ones. and the tread itself seems too narrow. TSLs have a bigger foot print
@unicyclerider15 Oh yes, now that you say it, I think you're right : the bars have differents length, so I guess it's meant to be un symmetrical, maybe they want a bit more space on the right for the gear stick.
All matters in what you put into it, whether you do the work yourself, buy one already completed, or have a shop do the work for you... you could spend anywhere from 5000 dollars to 50,000+ easy
So what was the reasoning behind running on propane? Cost? Environmental concerns? Power characteristics? Just because? This is the first I've seen of propane powered rock crawlers.
On The first rig, the green one, What are the specs? whats the motor hes running. I would appreciate it if you could help me out, im looking for a diesel motor but cant find a good small one, this one seems fair.
my post was a reply to "keg o gasoline?" sure we dont know what it is but porpane is the more common application. the whistle sounds like an SC to me not a turbo. anyways, thats not what i was talking about.
@z98908 im not 100% sure, but actually you look closer i think its not bent but it looks like it was just designed and built like that, un-symmitrically
Propane is not making the whistling sound. It some type of supercharger or turbo. We all can see the tank mounted on the back. But that could be Natural gas, Hydrogen, Propane, or could even be gasoline in it fooling everyone.

Man, it just looks like those rocks are not giving up ANY traction!!! Sweet video!
I like the Orange suspension, it's just like the new RAM. Cant wait to see what kind of aftermarket suspension comes out for those trucks.
Damn....I thought I was cool with 35's on my 'yota, now I gotta rethink everything.
Nice driving, all you guys - sick rigs too, really sick.
hats off to you guys who do this!!!great job!

It is a 4.3 with a Turbo but it runs strictly on Propane no Gas.
IT IS NOT A DIESEL!!!!!
Most sick 4x4's ever! These are real rock climbers! wow!
Damn the turbo on the green one is just brutal.
AHH! the sound of a Turbo! Music to my ears!
that turbo sound is just awesome :D
@djad54 in a lot of these buggies you can control it seperate from the front, most have a hydraulic vavle in there that lets you turn the rear wheels
frig i want one baddd..they look like so much fun, we atv around the east coast here and ive seen the odd buggy but nothing as high end as this..awesome
i like the "floor it and hope gravity cooperates" mentality on the first guy
Most are Super Swampers that have been grooved with a tire groover.
you guys look to be having one hell of a good time
Those are some badass Rigs!
@TheBiggamer16 No its a gas burner with a Turbo running on Propane
the sound of turbo makes me smile :)
Those tires look awesome!
@broncozilla1 We tend to wheel all year long. The best wheeling is in the fall when it isn't so hot. Most riding we do is in Tennessee and Alabama. If you are serious about coming over send me a message and maybe I can help you out.
Listen to that turbo whine! I'll take two please...
Those cars are so BEAST
that turbo sounds nice. enjoyed this video thanks.
@MadRam11 cheer man. Im not pretending to now anything about these vehicals. I havnt even seen one in real life haha.. thanks for the answer
The guy in the green seems like he has done this trail ALOT!
that sound is SOOOO Freakin coolll
The turbo one is DOPE!
sound like a bus! just love that turbo! :)
Awesome machines and i'm a tenn. boy too !!!
awesome, those are some serious 4x4's

great frame work looks realy safe and secure.
great vid, i love the aetna guy´s videos!!!!
is there a homepage about them?
is there anyone having pictures of that cutted tires?
Yeah the side lugs look like TSLs but the center lugs dont resemble them at all. Not even tread cut ones. and the tread itself seems too narrow. TSLs have a bigger foot print

hmmm, i thought that first green rig was a diesel when i heard it too. cool vid.
1:30, loving that turbo
@marsh1791 they probably are running lower pressure but when you run tires that are that big, 50psi or 2psi still looks the same
that looks slicker than SNOT!
good times :D
you boys are sick! the green thing is of its face!, awesome vid.

first's buggies sound is sooooo nice :O
the yellow sided one burnin rubber on the rock

Amazing vid guys, very inspiring, awsome toys !
Green one is fucking beast dude!! Amazing sound
@pegati1 Nah its a v6 gas engine with a Turbo
OMFG.. Shake N Bake Was Sprayingggggggggg WoW ~Pct3ch~
someone tell me who owns the project buggy black and orange? what kind of engine and gearbox was used, thanks you
@MadRam11 Type of tires? they perform great!
awesome! looks like alot of fun
my post was a reply to "keg o gasoline?" sure we dont know what it is but porpane is the more common application.
the whistle sounds like an SC to me not a turbo. anyways, thats not what i was talking about.
That green machine is bad ass
@camius1 yeah some of them run off of Propane
sounded more like a supercharger to me, but im no expert on this :P
@TheWerewolf360 most people build them from the frame up. im sure there are some for sale though
@z98908 im not 100% sure, but actually you look closer i think its not bent but it looks like it was just designed and built like that, un-symmitrically
Go shake and bake! I loved that buggy!
hey boyz! what brand of these tires?
nice video. thanks
@DRTMaverick
If you look at the 2nd one, starting at 1:36 the cage looks is pretty twisted, either he rolled or he was stamped by an elephant.
Propane is not making the whistling sound.
It some type of supercharger or turbo. We all can see the tank mounted on the back. But that could be Natural gas, Hydrogen, Propane, or could even be gasoline in it fooling everyone.
at 3:00 what us the name of a buggy like that is it just a frame welded together or ...? and what are the tanks for in the back?
this may sound really dumb but can you controll the front and real wheels steering independantly?
very cool rigs!!!
are those swamper TSL"S if so how did you guys groove those thats nice
You guys need rockwells and that turbo diesel to get up everything. Get like shake and bake.
Propane is under pressure so there is a constant feed of fuel to the engine.
@MadRam11 What kind of boost are you building? I wouldn't imagine a whole lot.
does the second one have a bent frame or is that the way it was built?
the green 1 is a beast
@miketheredneckable 1500 bucks for one that has 100k miles on it is a really good deal, what motor design is it? im assuming its a 12v?.
@MadRam11 U KNOW YOUR STUFF
WOW just wow .
is that a propane tank i see on the back of these things?
Nice sir. What kind of tires are those?
that hill start at 2:16 is nothing compared to what i had to do in my driving test!
"Shake n bake" LOL
Cole this has come a long way quickly
yeah it has, pretty crazy to see where it is at now
The green one looks sand sounds like it might be a 4.3 chevy running on propane with a turbo
@MadRam11 oh, okay thanks. great vid by the way. keep it up!
what size of tire is on some of those buggies, they make the rims look tiny
its funny the orange one just stalls half way out
@MadRam11 ahh good this answers one question...the next is does it last longer than gas???
@lilclown830 I always thought they'd have an automatic, as there'd be less sudden stress on the drivetrain.
where you buys that machines? please MP
i love your videos :D fucking love the sound :D:D please make more videos =) greatings from sweden ;)
They are custom cut TSL Super Swampers
yeah,great car....
What kind of engines? The green machine more specifically.
@MadRam11 ohhh. thats sweet!
awesome cummins diesel engine well i think it is it sure does sond like one
what type of turbo are you using on the green beast.
Crazy cut TSLs
Good video
But why is everybody have so much air in the tires. I think they would go much better with less air.......but a cool video :)
yes there is.. its better to make it your self, so you know what you have, and how to repair it.
@clarifaco do you crawl; round here you need the high rpms that you cant get with a diesel
your exactly right
what a beasts of rides
do these things run on propane? What's up with the vessel on the back?
