You have to be in government or military to purchase one because of their potential. After all they are "bullet" proof. They had to do a test on one where they drove it over 500 miles on the run-flat tires, even though they have central-tire inflation. The driver can adjust the air pressure when needed for better traction in sand or mud. Yeah, at 10 tons they also float!

Ill get pics of mine real soon. It features a 1/2" thick 6'x4' welding table, Hypertherm plasma, Miller Millermatic 230 welder, break bender, torch, 6" clamp vise, and a lot of air tools.

Plenty for an XJ owner to build LOL. Only thing is no bender...Dang it.

Actually my shop only has a 10" ceiling so a lift is not really practical. However a full grease pit is in store some day.
