PLS with HMMVW

[Pawnshop]

I saw this rig at the show in Temple yesterday, they ran it up and down several times to please the crowd (and demonstrate the capabilities of the Modern Army) the HMMVW has 150 miles on it...

Nice pics! What is really impressive is that hooklift system is "rated" for 16.5tons.

And it's so smoooooth and quiet!

That's... not what I thought when I read "PLS on a HMMWV".

Nice armoured Hummer. That destined for the ME?

I don't know, it is still 383 green and they have had it almost two months without a repaint. It all belongs to a TXARNG unit.

So exactly how many studs/nuts do the HMMWV wheels have now anyway, started off with 8, looks like they are up to what, 3 dozen?

two dozen...

I know they have had it for two months because it is the same unit I photographed on 16 May (in the same event that was rained out and rescheduled to yesterday), they tore the plastic off the seats that morning, it was total time new then.
