Default Gotta See This

The Raminator. It is traveling around the US and sponsored by Dodge. You get to ride in a monster truck and it costs nothing at all. The guys who run this bad boy are top notch and as personable as you could ask for. I had a long talk with them about how they built the truck and what it was running. Pics included below of the 5 ton Rockwells front and rear. All shows are at a dealership, but worth the stop for the kids if nothing else.
First pic is my son next to it.

Here is a vid of the truck with riders in the back. I know not very long, but you can ride an unlimted amount of times. As I said the kids love it.

Yep they have two of them in the same family. Raminiator and Ramunition I think. You can see them right off I-57 north of Champaign, IL year round. I have spotted them running up and down they field by their house a few times testing it out and/or playing not sure.

You are correct, the other is Ramunition. And they are based out of IL. Man you guys get to see all the cool stuff further north. I've got to get a transfer.
