re mrzr and osprey, I was curious about it and just had to see if there was a nice photo of this online and sure enough heres showing how tight it is hence the specially-short track width and as they too often say in silly cartoons - "mind your head!" => "my wha*thunk!* ow!!"
regarding the...
sorry to ramble more as always but @kendelrio maybe *this* is overkill for someone like your type then: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/hmt-forum/1983_bryn_owen_vespa_fullsize.jpg (both lot of lights..and umm..yeah I don't know why I would want to see so much behind me on the other hand)
not to be silly @kendelrio but one could almost be like that gentleman looking away for a moment sighing a bit then turn back to you and saying "do you always have to add extra lights to everything you touch?" .. but either way thats an interesting hummwv kitting nevertheless
(on a funny side...
just had to ask, I know they aren't explicitly for military but still I wonder if any of you have any thoughts on rolls battery?
(and like @CARC686 was saying, theres even 12v-or-24v lfp batteries for existing wiring systems too although of course dod/cranking are quite a different thing with...
I know it might not be much help but I would very imagine that its the crashbox (aka non-synchronize) kind of transfer case so you do have to engage it while at a stop with not too much stress on the then-to-mesh gears at the time, or at least thats how many early suvs had to be operated at the...
video itself might not be for everyone but I found some of the longer comments quite interesting in retrospect
especially when the comments are quite an interesting contrast where one army loved using them due to easy killrates, while another army was swearing about having nothing but...
I might have to agree with that @Guyfang especially these "beach villages" were very popular till the federal forced them out somewhere around that sort of timeline too .. and thats just one of many interesting examples that are no-more
don't mind if I'm sometimes silly from time to time like right now: it might be a bit of puzzle-like logistic issue but if you don't have enough floor space for the m131a in the garage then assuming it didn't have any hardtop on you could fold down the windshield and raise that thing up into the...
I was a bit curious about this and I had to go see what a quick web search would do..
https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar-us-am-general-xm966-hmmwv-prototype-2/
seem to be the only positive reference to an aircooled 6.6l I could find now
funny enough the web search also pointed back to...
"climb the curb"? hold my bottle, I'll show you a trail rated honda civic happily bouncing over a rampless sidewalk curb!
(sorry if I had to be a bit silly about very meaningless badges hehehehehe)
I recall when the jeep liberty was first coming out and even some magazines soon ran a test comparing it to a wrangler (and I think cherokee too or was that only the grand cherokee left by then?) still being more or less available to purchase too, needless to say I recall that the liberty had...
have heard a bit about all-pink rovers before but this is the first video-not-photos I have seen now tho
nice walkaround yeah
just a nice simple offroad drive-around without any "american rednecks" effects to mess up the video plot unlike too many other videos
and now this one is an old...
@Guyfang that..just..umm..well..geeze..I think I'm speechless
all I can say now is: to knowingly steal fuel is one thing but to put in wrong fuel without even knowing it is something else!
(and p.s it gets more weird when you find out someone poured diesel into the def tank or def into the...
completely unrelated but this talk about gas trucks reminds me of a silly yet real small story from somewhere in uk..I found it in a 'free' scanned-online-for-archival older magazine that I can't recall the name of now
lorry was seemingly using a lot of gas so everyone (especially boss) agreed...
@Eric isley not being openly rude but you need to not post the exact same thing more than once, there is already this for discussions to happen in indeed
btw I know they were very unlikely to ever be found anywhere related to the military but I'll still point out that the 'pontoon' mercedes (180d or 190d, I don't recall which this specifically was now) in the early type of long rally was once remarked by someone as "put a brick on the accelerator...
