I’m thinking along the lines of a truck that’s been stripped down and put back together with more steel and armor plates. The weapon, rockets, will be launched from a turret centered up on the bed of the truck. I’m thinking about using larger tires more like the ones you see on farm equipment.
I’ve done a sketch or two, I’ll see if I can get them online tonight.
Alrighty, here’s a little concept building of the truck. After the fall out of civilization… things are pretty dangerous. So, this crew stripped down a 18’ flatbed truck. They cut the truck in half right behind the cab. They installed a hinging hydraulic setup on a bulldozer and installed that in the middle between the front and back of the truck. The truck got put back to gether with the cab sitting lower for more protection. In addition, the motor was remounted from the front to the rear section, not only that it was lowered. The stock tires were exchanged with tractor tires. The truck seats 8… 2 gunners, 1 pilot/driver and 1 rocketeer, and a navigator. The additional 3 are part of the crew to help keep up the truck while in operation. The truck has been strengthed with scap steel. Due to the weight, the truck isn’t very fast, so it has 2 forms of weapons, the 2 gun turrets sporting 50cal auto guns, and then there is the rapid fire rocket turret which packs a punch.
I think that’s good enough for right now 
This is just the opening stages… Moving simple primatives around. But getting the shape together. 1142 tris. A lot of optimizing to do on this one.
3 Hours in this… 2100 tris. Those wheels may be a bit too high res. I’m still under half of the budget, so maybe not. Thoughts, comments?

That looks wicked man! don’t cut on the tires, they’re a key element of it looking badass 
Seeing you’re at less than half of the poly-limit, I suggest making windows in the cabing and making a simple interior.
I agree with Joe. Hook up some windows and a basic interior. I think this a really kewl idea.
2402 Tris (still unoptimized)
4.5 hours put into this project so far
I added the basic interior to the truck. I think I’m going to move my focus to the rockets next, then on to the driver.
Thoughts…comments?
