TROPHY TRUCK? as in baja long arm-32 inchs of rear suspension travel 28 in the front, 160 mph-5 tons of pure off road awesome?!

YES PICS ARE NEEDED FOR SUCH A THING.....ASAP.

edit: never mind I found the pics.......But the body roll is what makes the truck fun, and also seeing how much articulation you can get out of the suspension.

Yeah I did manage to get quite a bit of articulation out of it, I used the structural pylons to mount the wheels, but as a result it was quite unstable to drive, looked cool under motion though.

The new stiffer chassis still has some roll, but is much more controlled.

HMMM i may have to find a way with the structural pylons to make long arm suspension, may be a small truss with the pylons clipped in from opposite sides would allow a small but flexible joint?

PS I would love a .craft file for this.

I've made a garbage truck, it's very simple, but here it is

Nice, like the 6 wheel design. I made something that resembles it quite a lot last night actually after watching the 6x6 G63 AMG on Top Gear last night!

That looks great, it could easily be converted to a mass kerbal-carrier, too. *hint-hint nudge-nudge*

I think I'm going to make some transport vehicles for he kerbal military.....

Just made a 6 wheeler utility version of the Pea Huan, and also a 6 wheeler tow vehicle!

Also because it seems some of you want it, here's the craft file to one of my Trophy Truck designs. This one is actually a test chassis with more articulate wheels, and go over rough terrain considerably faster that others, feedback would be lovely

PRE DRIVE WARNINGS

• It is susceptible to rolling under VERY hard cornering, though front wheel steering should solve that for the most part.
  
• Be careful not to jettison the wheels, their pylons are detachable, so watch your staging!
  
• This one has a lot less aero than the standard Trophy Truck, so it isn't as stable. However, because it isn't being forced into the floor so much, it can take harder landings!

Ah, I've just realised the suspension is a little temperamental, you may notice it occasionally collapses and the vehicle sags, if it does, just revert to launch and try again!

First off, here's a dramatic introduction to the "LV-1", an armoured personnel carrier (well, it can actually only carry one Kerbal at the moment...) with maximum mission flexibility:

The intakes are only aethestic, the main vehicle is protected by six RTGs situated in the rear compartment and well protected by armour.

This is the actual vehicle though, without all the stuff that could disqualify the airdropped version (esp. note the differences in the comparison image between the airdrop and regular non-airdrop versions):

That looks badass!
