The other trans they were building was an AGB for Victor Mastromatteo. Looks like he runs a rear engine truck.

The more I look at it, it just looks like the perfect vehicle for what the DAKAR has become – Can't wait to see more photos - like how the spare fits in there? tire pressure/inflation system this year? Does this have jacks/lifts built in?

any Idea on what kind of fuel mileage they will be getting out of this new HST, the Hummer would get over 20 MPG

Last year's Hummer got 5 mpg (as I remember) out of the 100 gallon cell which gave them 500 miles of range, give or take. It was a 427, under load.
