Have you seen any of the new LASH's or whatever the new choppers that only the Guard are getting? The ones that are supplimenting the Blackhawks to replace the rest of the Huey fleet?

What about a modern full Bridging truck? that think looked like a deathtrap just sitting in the motorpool

I'll just leave this here..... HET Gun Truck out of Iraq...

No worries. The LHS and PLS are some ver versitile pieces of equipment. but at a glance the only way you can tell them apart is the extra axle. the LHS was built as a 'version' of the HEMMT while the PLS was built from "scratch". The biggest advantage of the PLS is the hauling capacity (duh...

That would be an LHS http://www.army.mil/factfiles/equipment/wheeled/hemtt.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1120_HEMTT_Load_Handling_System

...so you're making it an LHS?

Eh, I was poking the server with a stick this morning... hope it didn't do any permenant damage...

Awesome on the seats man! I was a tad concnerned that they might not work!

that's how most of our HMMWVs looked before I departed to Iraq. sadly, when we got replacements when we got home, most of the PLTs opted not to keep the tops... I think they're idiots. I thought they were awesome. Add a bit of insulation to lessen the noise during thunderstorms and you'd be...

That is awesome!

your wife is illegal? between those two, I'd say an abbot, but neither of them really give me the "tank" feel. the BMP is "too short/small" and the Abbot looks like it's driving backwards or is a miniature Paladin...

That is just plain cool

Roger, wasn't sure about that. thanks for the response.

I've mentioned this on another forum, but for some reason, USAA insured my Jeep... they have my serial number listed correctly on my forms. no extra digits or anything. don't have a ton of insurance, but basic liability in NC. Now, you do have to be active or former military to be a member...

Wow, this is awesome! Looking forward to some of the engineering hurdles and how you over come them. random question, what about doing a LHS style hook and load vs. doing the crane for the modules? seems like there'd be less work in the swapping and would still enable you to have all those...

I would have been bidding against you were it not for my pending move to Korea. Looked like a nice truck! Looking forward to the restore thread.

I may be wrong, but I think there's a length difference in the two trailers.

Hey, if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid!

Do you have the NSN by chance?

You may have found the sweet spot. Last road trip in my Dodge 2500 Cummins, I added about 400 lbs of sand after the first day. with a little attention to the cruise control I was making easily 25-27 mpg vs normal 21-23 on a good day. Over the years I've heard this very common with our trucks...
