Giant-Ass Rock Crawler in the Mickey Thompson Booth
By John Coyle
Deputy Editor
You want articulation? We got your articulation right here! I walked past the rock crawler in the Mickey Thompson booth like ten times yesterday, and I still couldn’t get over how massive it is. I mean, I’m six three, and it’d be a bitch for me to climb in. It looks like the kind of vehicle wimpy little crossovers dread seeing in a dark alley. More pics after the jump.

Those are 2.5 ton rockwell axles the brake setup called a pinion brake, its the easiest set up on rockwells because they only come with drum brakes and most are air brakes.

hotweelz4me: those are 5 ton rockwell axles or something similar and the brakes are set up in the center of the axle instead of in the normal location.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome… but I’ve seen Jeep cherokees with the same extent of articulation… nothing earth shaking there.

Thing looks fun, but whats with the Wilwood setup on the axle? Is that just a spare, or does it serve some function?
