Off course any, I said 'any', light weight 4x4 would do better in those circumstances. Nice video though.

Must weigh about 4 tons... Standard Ambi weighs just under 3 tons unladen, so i'd guess thats about right.

It's got 2x standard rear suspension. Dunno if a compensator thing could be fitted, if so it'd probably improve its off-road ability a bit.

It piqued my interest as thats the first 6x6 101 I've seen .Are there many about odd tho' I see plenty of 'normal' 101's on my travels my pal even gets his coal delivered on one when the tracks get sticky but not a single 6 wheeler..yet Derek >>>Standard Ambi weighs just under 3 tons unladen, so i'd guess thats >>>about right.

There are a few conversions that people have made, I know of three, the one David now has was built by a chap called Kevin Winn, another in Spain (the 101 clubs Spanish rep) and another in the South West UK somewhere - but that's a true beast, with just about every mod that could be made...

I've seen it done on a 6x6 Series IIB FC at billing, had the two close ends of the leaves on a each end of short bit (12") of box which was pivoted in the centre. Havn't seen it in action, but information i have from researching shows that such a link defenitly improves ride quality, as well as elimitating braking difficulties. Alex |
