Forget the semi-truck! This is a vehicle that conquers off-road terrain. Off-road racer BJ Baldwin, who is known for spending more time in the air than on the ground with his semi-truck, is back with a daring new clip in which he's chasing a very special vehicle instead of his Chevrolet Silverado.
BJ Baldwin, which in the world of motoring considered the Ken Block of the Pathless - if Ken Block became synonymous with burning tires while sliding down the road with the Gymikhana series of racing hits, Baldwin Recoil (Recoil 2, Recoil 3) earned the title of the king of car jumping -, he came up with a very special vehicle for this shot.

His usual weapon – this is a converted triaxial 800 horsepower semi truck (Chevrolet Silverado), which features independent front suspension (so the wheels can move independently of each other) and 26-inch wheels in the front and 34-inch wheels in the rear—he traded for a rebuilt a six-wheeled tank (!) Ferret Scout from 1959. This was produced in Great Britain between 1952 and 1971 and was powered by Rolls-Royce V6 engine. BJ Balwdin replaced that with the brand's monstrous engine General Motors LS V8 and added an extra pair of wheels to the tank for good measure.
