Never mind...wrong vehicle.
When you got money you can do anything you want. I think they are real cool as they are (drove them in the Army) but I have to say that doing away with the two mid axles and having four wheel steering would be way cool. A custom flat bed and a set of 8 inch straight pipes to let that green...
