Shout-out to: @Theplaneexpert10 For the help on TIV 1 Turret without him This TIV won't be done And also check his builds!
!!WARNING IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ THE DESCRIPTION, PLEASE HEAD ON TO READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL, HOW TO OPERATE THE TIV 1, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL!!.
The description:
The Tornado Intercept Vehicle 1 (TIV 1) is a heavily modified 1997 Ford F-Series F-Super Duty cab & chassis truck used as a storm chasing platform and built by Sean Casey. This heavily armored vehicle can drive into a weak to relatively strong tornado (EF0 to EF3) to film it and take measurements. Work began on the TIV in 2002 and took around eight months to finish, at a total cost of around US$81,000. TIV's armored shell consists of 1/8–1/4 inch steel plate welded to a two-inch square steel tubing frame. The windows are bullet resistant polycarbonate, measuring 1.5 in (38 mm) thick on the windshield and 0.5 in (13 mm) thick on the sides, The TIV weighs approximately 14,000 lb (6,400 kg) fully loaded and is powered by a 7.3 litre Ford Powerstroke turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by Navistar-International, otherwise known as the International T44E.
The vehicle includes air-ride suspension that, when deployed, drops the vehicle flush to the ground to prevent wind from getting under the vehicle. Four hydraulic claws were added at Discovery Channel’s request for safety, which are used to grapple onto the ground and anchor the TIV during an intercept. The vehicle's speed was limited by the factory Ford PCM, giving it a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h), The TIV has a fuel capacity of 60 US gallons (230 L), giving it a range of around 500 miles (800 km). The TIV is featured in a series called Storm Chasers which began airing on the Discovery Channel in October 2007, TIV was succeeded in 2008 by TIV 2, but returned to service to finish out the first few chases of the 2008 storm chasing season after TIV 2 suffered mechanical problems. In a June 2011 interview with NPR's All Things Considered, Casey said that TIV was still in service and is designated as the backup vehicle in the event TIV 2 breaks down during a shoot.

Shout-out to: @Theplaneexpert10 For the help with the TIV 1 Turret without him I couldn't finished this TIV 1 And I really appreciate and I really impressed by the skills of his!.
@Ilikeplanescausewhynot sure I'll give you permission but make sure to add credits!
Is it ok if i use this for 3 builds?
@ZeNiWGamingYT4403 ok got it!
@Ilikeplanescausewhynot there will be different versions of it.
@ZeNiWGamingYT4403 I saw that video of it currently. I could easily tell the turret was made by @theplaneexpert10 by its looks. So far, the TIV 2 looks awesome. If its that good and its still in progress, imagine how its gonna look when its done… btw will there be a 2013 tiv 2 or only 2010?
@Theplaneexpert10 @Ilikeplanescausewhynot
Yes, It took 5 months and I really appreciate the help by @Theplaneexpert10 if he wasn't here the TIV 1 will be over than 5+ months And I really put So much effort to just Give the experience of the players to feel as a Storm chaser using this vehicle and it was a lot of fun building this and By the way @Ilikeplanescausewhynot You may know TIV 2, I am Building that already and @Theplaneexpert10 Helped me with the TIV 2 turret.
@Ilikeplanescausewhynot yea he did great
@Theplaneexpert10 I know. The Turret Was Good, BUT THE CAR ITSELF. THE ENGINE. THE INTERIOR. THE DOORS. THE DETAIL. Everything ZenNiW Worked On Literally Is The Reason That Turret Is There. I Am Impressed By ZeNiW In Every Way Possible. Infact, I Thought I Would Take A Year To Complete The Main Base. It Took Half A Year. The Dominator 2 Was Also Really Impressive With Details.
@Ilikeplanescausewhynot thank you! However, we can't understate the amount of time and effort ZeNiW put into this buid. It only took me like 3 or 4 days of work to make the turret, but it took ZeNiW 5 months, so lets all appreciate ZeNiW for this excellent build.
You Nailed This! @thplaneexpert10 perfectly made the turret! I love this! Keep up the great work man!
@Theplaneexpert10 Thanks!
