I saw this picture of an M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) stuck and it just made me smile.

A little turn of the CTIS dial may have helped prevent this. Dig girls, dig!

Seriously doubt that any digging like that will free that monster.

I think that is why the driver is grinning so much.

I call BS on that picture.. There is NO WAY a green truck is that clean in the desert!

rizzo · Apr 23, 2006

maybe they had just left the truck wash??

emmado22 · Apr 23, 2006

No truck washes in the desert... I still say it is photshopped...

red devils dude · Apr 23, 2006

I'd say 50-50 real, fake I will ask around.

M1075 · Apr 23, 2006

I think it is legit. I wouldn't try to pull a fast one on you guys! Here is another greenie in the desert.

red devils dude · Apr 24, 2006

well here's the thing in the first pic look at the door the guy's in(it's tan)

emmado22 · Apr 24, 2006

tan doors mean nothing. They are probably uparmored doors, which come in tan....

red devils dude · Apr 24, 2006

yeah but theres no other up uparmor parts.

N1265 · Apr 24, 2006

the blond on the right looks like she cant wait for her turn!

emmado22 · Apr 24, 2006

RDD,
Do you know what makes up a M1070 Uparmored kit??????

cranetruck · Apr 24, 2006

It's probably not too late to let air out at this point. Perhaps 15 psi tire pressure may get a guy going in a sitaution like this (even after sinking in). Don't know, driving in sand is not among my past experiences.

PS. Jed, I don't think the door is tan, it's the way the light is hitting it.

mangus580 · Apr 24, 2006

Any idea where/when and what unit this was? wonder if my sis is one of them.... rofl

red devils dude · Apr 24, 2006

bjorn could be
E22 I googled it there's several large pieces including "side panels" cab or hood? didnt make sense to just add the doors
but the army is :cookoo:

JCease · Apr 24, 2006

I have driven a few civilian trucks on sand, suburbans, blazers, jeeps, full size pickups...etc... If you drop the air down to around 25 on most vehicles you can go almost anywhere... Sometimes the sand is hard and you don't need to drop any pressure, but sometimes it is soft and you have to drop a lot of pressure. The truck probably isn't far off the paved road, so it may be stateside...Califonia maybe? The trailer looks like it might be a little dirtier!! Either way, the driver has the right idea, sit and watch!!!

There are truck washes in the desert (Iraq). We were required to spray down our vehicles atleast once a week before dispatching.

It looks like the door is painted tan, very indigative of an NTC vehicle. Also, the door is to thin to be uparmoured, those things are thick!!

I think it's NTC, because if it was Iraq, where's the weapons?? Guards?? Why is the impact wrench and airhose just laying in the sand??

The color contrasts look strange in that pic...maybe its just my laptop..

One of those "ladies" is kinda big, apparently the military doesnt require tons of physical fitness anymore.....lol

I'd say no matter what or where...DESERTS SUCK, SAND SUCKS, GETTING STUCK SUCKS !
