Definitely some good ones, but I have developed a soft spot for Air Force Blue vehicles.... Good luck to all!

I hope you figure it out soon... I’m looking forward to it!

Howdy from Arizona! This fine piece of military machinery is the the flagship of our motor pool. It started off life as some iron ore buried deep in the ground, some miners dug it up, processed it into some giant steel pieces and handed it over to Kaiser who transformed it into this monstrosity of a wrecker. J/k (kind of)
Our 1970 Kaiser Jeep XM816 was purchased late last year and is now ready for service after some minor mechanical reapairs (IP rebuild, lubrication, brake overhaul) lighting install, and tire swap. Not a lot of action pics yet but here’s some of what we have of it so far. Thanks for letting us nominate her!!

It´s a little bit like a COE Cab over Engine. Most of the engine is lokated between driver an passenger knees.
The engine is covered with the"doghouse" the rear view mirror on top.

A special feature this UNIMOG has is the rear lower window behind the backseats for better look at the coupling.

After years in towing on airfields (like his brothers)

our UNIMOG now is retired.

Now this fine machinery is used for multiple other things to manage, often with family and friends.
