This is a pretty cool video!! If it wasn't for the lack of diesel sound you'd be fooled by this RC model. Somebody spent a lot of time making it look very real. Everything looks good and it does well "off road" too.!! Enjoy!

Alex400: I was just thinking that by now it may have had an engine change. I couldn't see much of the engine compartment from where I was standing. Perhaps next time I'll raise the hood for a real quick peek.....

jwaller.....I think you're right, it's being used. The 5th wheel is greased up and the tires look pretty new. It hasn't been there long, maybe two weeks?, so somebody is still using it to pull trailers.

Hope it's still there!! I saw it on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, but didn't have camera. I took these on Thanksgiving and got them developed today. It hasn't moved since the first time I saw it. I just couldn't believe how big it is....

10 ton tractor pics It's on GA Hwy 20 heading east (towards Gwinnett) about a mile or so from Hwy 400. It's just past the area where Ga 20 narrows down from 4 lanes to two. I didn't see a for sale sign on it, I'm assuming it's being used in the area. I didn't see a tag on it though...

10 ton tractor pics Missed one. Looks like it's been used recently.

10 ton tractor pics Here are the rest of the pics - I had more than I thought. Didn't see a dash plate stating a model or contract number. How much would 10 tires for this beast cost? Those look pretty new.....

Here are some more.

Hey guys, I saw this 10 ton tractor the other day in Cumming GA and took some pics. It's been sitting there for about a week. The inside is a mess, no passenger seat and junk where it used to be. I'm almost 6 feet tall and I my eyes could only look directly at the headlights...it's big...

How about going with a patriotic theme? Say a dark blue base with some white stars and red stripes. Nothing wild, make it subtle!! I think it would look good and generate some attention, while helping to tie in with the truck's military service. Maybe you can have a little dark green/camo color...

I found shows scheduled on the military channel for restorations on a Sherman, Comet, Panther and Hellcat. I'd love to watch these, yet another reason I need to upgrade to get the military channel. Most cable channels are just plain crap....

Those FMTVs are just plain ugly to me! Maybe they're decent trucks, but I'd rather drive old iron. Driving old iron meaning, whenever I finally get around to getting an MV!

My suggestion is to get with a local member that owns a Deuce and let them give you a tour of it. Pay for the diesel and ask them to give you a ride. That way you will have a better understanding of what they are like to drive and use. This will convince you to buy one or help you avoid...

USA Looks to Bridge FMTV Truck Orders Until 2011 06-Oct-2008 FMTV Family Amateurs discuss tactics, professionals discuss logistics. A military force can have all of the flashy combat vehicles it wants, but without a solid underpinning of medium and heavy trucks to handle logistics, that combat...

This is from the latest edition of Autoweek magazine. Usually Escape Roads tests are special interest autos, so an MV is rather unusual. Hope yall can read it. Enjoy!

kcimb - It looks pretty cool. I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other...but I'd be reluctant to buy sight unseen. Especially with it that amount of money and it being in the U.K. My other concern would be the shipping cost and any issues importing it. I have no knowledge on those...

I don't think we'll see a lot of all new true MBTs. I keep reading most Western nations are planning on using their current models for maybe the next 20-30 years. There are some new ones (like the Korean K2 Black Panther, I think). I'd guess in the future new tanks will not have a crew, be...
