Fantastic news man... And well done...
Im getting jealous...

I was watching the other video with the one wheel setup, and wanted to ask:
Is your steering setup done with power steering / electric steering or just straight link without any assistance?

In the video, it is just straight manual steering however, the plan is to have a power steering set up

Awesome steering test! And I'm going to use your method for leveling my frame build. I've got the steel, so I might as well use it. Thanks for the tip!

Today is a big day for my build today the car is finally sitting on its own weight all 6 wheels and off the jack stands it is officially a rolling chassis just a few more things and it will be drivable

Man thats a damn big one and well done... Im sure at this stage you are probably getting more amped than before.
Now its probably getting real, real fast..
Cant wait to see the updates...

Almost driving. That's going to make you popular.

Question, how wide did you make your rear wheels? I've heard that 12" is a good width, but what worked for you?

Today was the big day first test drive and it was a great success YouTube link here https://youtu.be/41GnJULtt2w?feature=shared

That is super amazing. Congrats on amazing progress.

Very cool! Now all your neighbors know that you're building a military bridging vehicle.
