that rig at about the 2:30 mark is a tube buggy. The frame is completely made from tube steel. it is 100% custom built, every bend, every weld, the whole frame and cage is one mass of tubes. Typically they run 3 or 4 links suspension with coil over shocks on the front and rear axles. They get into things like squat, anit squat, center of gravity, roll center, etc. Tube buggy's are made to do some serious stuff. If you ever get a chance to see a Rock crawling compition, go.
Those guys get pretty serious, break parts that would last us decades, and cost small fortunes. They run tires that cost like $375 each.
I'll find some more vids and post em up for ya.
