  • If you’ve watched Gearz in the past, you’re probably familiar with our little Thiokol IMP Snowcat project. Well, today you get to meet the legendary big brother…the Thiokol Swamp Spryte! What? never heard of it? Well, that’s because they are extremely hard to find. Very few photographs exist of them, and they leave a very distinct footprint. Yeah, we’re talking the off-road version of Sasquatch. Well, that all changes today, because Stacey has captured one of these mythical vehicles and rolls it into the shop to give you an up-close look at what made the Swamp Spryte so unique. With a limited number made, this amphibious, all-terrain track vehicle is still a force to be reckoned with and will be even more so once Stacey does some restoration and upgrades on this old beast.

    I won't lie. Once fixed up, that Swamp Sprite will make for a awesome hunting rig.

      MAN I couldn't agree more! One of the few good memories I have with my ol man is watching power block every Saturday morning and is the only time I'd get up early to watch the full episode with extreme 4x4 and Stacey Davis! Holy hell I'd give anything to go back!!!!

    The Iconic Early Bronco also had the 170 or 200 CU inline six!! This would be a great remote hunt camp rig!!

    Very nice. Those Thiokol's are cool just really sucks to do engine work on them. I have spent way to much time laying on bords in that dog box working on the engine.

    That's a miniature army M-548 ammunition carrier, similar to the M-113. I operated the M-548 during my first 6 years in the Army, 84- 92.

      @Chadsstickystuffakaglue I'm sorry, I thought for sure it was 2014 but I went looking for it just to double check and found it aired the eleventh season in 2018.

    No ill will towards the 170 but I think, being a Stacey David build, it needs a 300!
    We can't have a stock vehicle come out of the Gearz shop and a "HotRod" Sprite would be sweet!

    Good grief do you have enough commercials more commercials on this program someone’s getting paid well I think at Expense of a bunch of commercials. Another project started but never finished why not finish a project they’ll be a couple more years will see the end of it I’m not doing it I stop watching some time ago I turned in today thinking maybe shut maybe I’ll price it could be finished nope
