Interesting, badass, nightmare?

All I can think about is Size, Weight, and what the rest of the drivetrain is going to be once it's done. One of the guys up at Trent Fab has one in his 1/2 ton suburban with one ton running gear, pretty bad ass, but I think he said something about it weighing over 4 tons!

CAGE THE HELL OUT OF IT AND RUN IT. I STILL THINK THAT A CUMMINS IN THE FRONT OF A YOTA IS COOL BUT NOT FOR ME.

Probably a bad idea. The motor weighs like 1000lbs.

Being a DD it makes a little more sense. I helped put a Cummins in a buggy a few years ago and the guy didn't like it when it was done. He couldn't get enough wheel speed and it was too front heavy. Definitely had a cool factor though and crawled well.
