Really interesting pic seen on Flikr of a weird Jeep crane arrangement with a Chev cab suspended.

Crane design by Heath Robinson or possibly Rupe Goldburgh.

Hi Keith

Photo is a prime example of necessity being the mother of invention, great photo, where did you find it.

Cheers Phil

Notice the different front tires and no inner fenders. Maybe the fronts can be pumped up harder.

Hi Phil, I put a link to the original on my post, it's on Flikr which has a healthy collection of CMP images.

Hi All

Given that the Jeep is sitting level with that load on it I suspect not only are the tires on the hard side, but I suspect that they have block up the front suspension so there is no or very little spring deflection.
