[QUOTE="Tyson C., post: 2189146, member: 9534"] sorry for the late response.... Tornado Intercept Vehicle (T.I.V.)... that is Sean Casey's T.I.V.1 used on the Discovery channel show "Storm Chasers". basically drive it into the path of a tornado, drop the skirting and it has hydraulic stakes that are pushed into the ground to help with stand the tornado. i believe his was able to handle up to 250mph winds (EF5...kiss your a$$ and your town good bye) no i do not build them. but i have a pretty good idea on how to build one. depending on what drive train you start out with and what you want in it. i think Seans was around $60,000 +/-. it was built out of 1/8" plate and in some areas up to 1/4" plate and weighted somewhere in the ball park of 18'000lbs. we did the install using some of our KICKER (car audio/speakers) product so that they could hear the CB outside the vehicle and or use as a PA system. the TIV1 i worked on was a real rough idea and had some mechanical issues. i believe it could have been built right if the builders would have thought it out a bit more.. and not cut corners. not sure where you could buy one, i have not seen a TIV car lot in Oklahoma.... wait a minute that doesn't sound like a bad idea...lol [ATTACH=CONFIG]29462[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29463[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29464[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29465[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
