Default HEAVY duty Deuce

Found this picture while surfing around for another vehicle. Our neighbors to the North, call it a MLVW - Medium logistics vehicle wheeled. Medium? not even close.

DEW engineering builds for the Canadian armed forces. It says they start with a M35 to build on. Does it look like a deuce to you, eh?

M1075 is correct. It is indeed a OshKosh MTVR. http://www.oshkoshdefense.com/defens...~mtvr~home.cfm

Hopefully this one is better. The old ones were badly underpowered. The Allison tranny saved us a lot in clutches, but the M-35A2 way out preformed them. According to the Col, our current MLVWs will be gone just after the Olympics. DO NOT hold out hope of getting one. The current MOT attitude is to not allow registration. The gov't is pointing to parting them out, sending Overseas, or seriously demilling them. There may be a surplus of parts for rcok crawlwers coming up! Needless to say, I'm not happy. I will wait to hear back from the inside track, but right now I would not hope to buy a whole one with the idea of driving it on any North American public road. Sorry guys. BTW check out the over cab rack on the old MLVW. That was a great idea! IHC is also building some trucks for us. We'll see what we get.
