OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

[CapePrep]

Just a little beach cruising here on Cape Cod! Was so nice to be out there!

I had a similar usage with mine. I hauled 2 tons of triple 15 and urea Tuesday. It’s Like you said it’s amazing how it rides when loaded up. Hopfully I’ll have a lot of farm chores knocked out in the coming weeks and I can finish my rearview camera install and can start to work on the outside of the truck. I have the rear hinged half doors to put on and I’m currently restoring some x doors, then a scuff and spray to freshin up the paint View attachment 921527

Agreed! Really smooth ride. I realized this last winter when I had almost 700kg (1500lbs) of drywall in the back. Awesome license plate btw!

I tried tempting the rain Gods today, we really need the rain, All I got was a little drizzle.

Went to a church my brother is a knight (of some kind) for a kids event. They had a fire truck, a couple of police cars, a helicopter and a couple of our humvees. As usual, the kids had a blast and the humvees were the center of attention.

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!

What's the truck in pic 13? Looks nasty! I like the low roofline.

No Unimogs??

No, Unimogs never where in service... thats for gardening in europe!

Picture 13 is a MOWAG Eagle IV

Mark I and II was based on the HMMWV... the newer one based on the Stairer Duro Platform... see wikipedia for more

Possibly the best quote I’ve ever heard on SS. lol

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 about these things... They are agricultural vehicles.
UniMoG stands for Universal Motor Gerät (Device)
That's for garden landscape farmers, community services like watering municipal parks. Or for light forestry work. These are implement carriers... Universal vehicles to which you can connect as many different devices as possible.

From our point of view, this is about as far-fetched as considering a HMMWV for plowing a field.
