just though it would be neat to own
My neighbors hate me already, this will just reassure me they still care =)


"Is that a HEMI??"
"ugh.......no"

That is ******* AWESOME! If I had the free cash I would buy it in a heatbeat.

Put a canopy on it with just 2 holes in the back and a couple small scoops on top to get some fresh air to it. People would wonder WTF the 2 big tubes were sticking out the back..................until you hit the afterburner.

"Oh, its just a V-6 with a small power assist"
"really, what kind"
"3520 lbs of thrust"

I just sent him this email
Was going to call you but figured an email would be better.

This has to be one of the most unique vehicles I have ever seen. But I would like get a little more info if I could before I bid on it.

Do you keep service records on the engines?
What kind of fuel do they burn? JP-8?
Are they equiped with afterburners?
Have you ever tested them at maximum trust in the truck, if so, what speed did you achieve?
Would you be willing to give a "class" on proper operation of running the truck under thrust?

Any other information you could provide would be great.

Thank you,

Lets see if he reply's.

Im guessing you'd have to press in the clutch or leave it in neutral when the jets are on right?

If I owned that truck, I'd give a RUDE AWAKENING to tailgaters.

I have seen a similar looking truck with one turbine actually run before. Melted the tail lights and fried the tailgate.

Very badass

I don't know about this truck, but I have seen a jet truck (think it was a big-rig cab iirc) 'in action' on some TV shows before
