    who makes 8x8's?

    I'm starting to look around to get back into AATV's and know I want a 8x8 with the 440 or 503 engine witch will probably be a project to start with.
    I know ARGO and ATTEX made 8x8's was there any other companies that made them

    I figured I would add this info to the post in case anyone in the future is searching old post for the same info

    a guy on route 6x6 told me AMF, Beaver and KIDD also made 8x8's then I also found one called TRITON witch actual looks interesting with the center mounted engine

    Indeed those are 8 wheelers, but I dont believe that any of them have the good old T-20 unfortunately.

    How about the Attex?
    Aside from that I would not over look that TRITON's hydraulic drive system if it is done right that would be a better power transfer system then roller chain

    I tried contacting Triton a while back and nobody answered any of my dozen calls or emails. When the phonecalls went to voicemail, it would always say that their mailbox is full

    Very Strange.

    You pretty much need a big budget for any new 8x8

    When you look at value the hydraulic system should be more reliable so money spend on maintenance down the road should be less. Also tire wear should be less if it is set up the way I would imagine it to be.

    If you are spending $20+k what is another 5 or 10 K?
