How about SVA'ing this?
"Rolling Thunder" (right hand side) is based on Howe & Howe's "Ripsaw" (on the left). The Ripsaw has been used to
play around with in the forest, and a modified version has taken part in the DARPA Challenge.
Rolling Thunder has to appeal to monster truck owners or something, because I can see very little other use for the beast.. 3ft of suspension travel
and 3,000 horsepower.. 
Here are some great pictures and videos of the Ripsaw doing its thing: http://www.howeandhowe.com/ripsaw.htm

probaly the best use would be for chasing Taliban toyota hilux`s in Afganastan or some other buttfecked place.
Sva would be a problem look at the sharp edges
The tester would wear his b*lls out on that one.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Seen the videos? I think the thing is incapable of driving slowly..
..hmm.. maybe if it towed a cart with bales of hay..?
