Hmmm... You make a good point, if I'm going to pay the shipping costs anyway I might as well get working kit. It would be pretty interesting to build a working set for the Lwt though, it might take a bit of time to build up all the kit required, but it could be another aspect to MV ownership...

Thanks for the reply and PM, much appreciated. Like your friend in the Alamo MVPA, my interest is more in the aesthetics of showing the Lwt rather than actually sending & receiving, although my ultimate (long term) plan is to kit out the truck as it would have been setup in service and it would...

Hi guys, I may be a bit late into the conversation, but I'm looking for a pair of Clansman TUAAM boxes with ATUs, did you ever come across a reputable US source for your Clansman kit? Cheers Jon

Welcome to the forum Steve, from my little bit of Blighty here in the US ;) Once Airborne, always Airborne, eh!? :lol: Only one maroon beret in our family (don't now what battalion), rest are ex-Emperor's Chambermaids, or RLC There's hour upon hour of reading on here, I spend yonks reading...

Thought it was a little unusual, that's what caught my attention, I like stuff that's a little out of the ordinary. Sounds like the owner has but some effort into building his truck.

Thanks for the replies. I had searched around Google and came across CJ10's but didn't see anything with a dually rear axle, but a tug would make sense needing more traction/weight distribution. Is the dually standard or mod? Like KsM715 said, is it 2wd as stock or 4wd in service and moded as...

Spotted this at the rally last week and the rear axle has caught my attention, I may have been chatting with its owner at the stall it was park at, but I don't know his name or username, sorry :oops: Anyway, was curious what type of Jeep it is and what its military role would be, towing or...

And afew more...

Thanks to all who put on the rally and made the guy with the funny accent welcome, even if I was only there for a couple of hours. Nice to meet Clinto, who tapped me on the shoulder as I was driving along (either you're a fast runner, or I'm a slow driver ;-) ) I will definitely be planning on...

The pics look great! Really gutted that I couldn't make it, but unfortunately I had to go out of town for work last week, and didn't get home until Friday, so it wasn't really on the cards (especially if I wanted a home to go to :lol:) All that means is I've got to make it October :beer...

Thanks. The original "Land Rover" was developed by the Wilks brother who ran Rover cars, they had a demobbed Willys Jeep they used on their farm/estate. They liked it but thought they could make some changes and improvements to better suit an agricultural need in post war Britain. The very...

Here are a few more recent pics

Hmmm... my recent pics appear to be too large, I'll rectify and post some more

Thought it was time I added some pics up, I've spent enough time looking at everyone elses. So, where to start? 33 GB 17 is the British military reg number of my truck. It's a right hand drive 1/2 ton Military Land Rover, aka Airportable, aka Lightweight and is 24v FFR It was manufactured...

Hi Bill, That's a nice looking Lwt, but I noticed you wrote in the past tense :wink: Do you know where it is now?

Wow, so many replies! Thanks for the warm welcome and invitations (or summonses) to the Kennesaw and Durhamtown event, as of right now I'm hoping to attend both and check your HUGE American trucks. I also saw that Tucker is having a Military theme for their monthly car show on Sept 11 (prize...

Thanks for the welcomes guys

Hello all, I'm a Limey living in Atlanta, and came across your site while looking for military vehicle gatherings/rallies in north GA. I've always had an interest in modern military history, especially the vehicles, and am hoping to attend the rally later in the year. I am the proud owner of...
