Sorry at convention in Vegas 4 work this week but I left early and went to Phoenix biggest military show for to say I was a little disappointed. Are iola show is 20 times bigger, Like only 4 m939s. the good news is when I get back on my door plates and window armor will be at my house waiting...
If I had to do it again I'd go with a m928 with m146 on back and a second set of tandems making it a 10x10. Also thought of tandem rear for front suspension making it twin steer with axle in front of bumper. Sounds easy doesn't it. Great departure angles
