    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Thank you... I was just being honest. Okay, there may have been a few of the very first UNIMOGs in military units. But that was for watering the flowers in front of the general's barracks. Or as a tool for building fortifications. From a European perspective, hardly anyone understands your hype...

    Military vehicle meeting Bürglen Switzerland. Super event! Off-road rides with heavy armored recovery vehicles, field howitzers, M113, and much more. Laser shooting with a Centurion. Visit to the nearby border defense communications bunker. Great people, great weather... simply great!

    A friend of mine heats with wood. But as the road to his wood yard is in about the same state as the front in the Ukraine due to the snowfall of the last few days, I helped him. No chance of getting there with a normal vehicle, like my RAM or Durango. But the view from there was great... from...

    First snow for us this year. And since I, as a wise, foresighted man, didn't manage to get winter tires for my wife's car in time, I had to take our daughter to school today. The total distance is 1 hour and the damn fan heater went out again in the middle.

    You have to decide that from situation to situation. Basically, the lock of the center differential is the beginning on such loose ground. If a wheel lifts off, then step lightly on the brake to direct the force back to the wheel in contact with the ground.

    Stock axles but in lock (HL) at ths time. This is river gravel. Very smooth and without any small components in it. This is then like quicksand. If you have pressure from above, that's still okay. But in this case, the body is already resting on the edge. And any further movement would have...

    There are mostly 3 different. The Harley you know from the US, the German boxer Style you know from the movies (But these are only the most famous German motorcycles of the Second World War.
