Unloaded at Banks

[Gottlos]

A Marine unloaded this HMMWV at Gale Banks Engineering today. Could a Six Gun Bundle be in it's future? Any idea what this one is configured for?

drooling....
time will tell
that is a vary unique setup though, if i dont say so myself its very different... protype maybe?

Nice pictures. If it is there for turbo work or suspension work, then it is because it is borderline overloaded. It looks like a cross between M1151A1 and 1165A1.

we used them in iraq and afgansitan, overloaded, underpowered, too many electronics, cant see crap, hard to get out of when its on fire or turned over because of all the crap they make you bring and armored doors weigh a ton. put 8000 lbs of armor on your one ton pickupand see how well it drives in the mountains.

but they did save me from a double stacked command detonated mine that went off under us........

that is a special forces Variant of the HMMWV

and yes these up-armored Humvees are overloaded. they werent designed 8000lbs of armor. theyy were designed for up to 5000lb payload. the 6.5TD isnt a powerhouse by far.

Saw this at the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Ft Pierce.
Don’t know much about HMMWVs to know what mods it had done.
.
I found the wheels and tires interesting.
This museum is a must do if you’re in the area, very well put together and so many incredible MV’s.

35 inch tires on 17 inch rims.

Personally I just kind of want a set of the rims.

Japanese tires!

Japanese tires, made in the US of A!
I think most of our Nittos are made here. My wife has a set of Ridge Grapplers on here Jeep, been a very good tire so far. I also run a lot of Toyos, great tires as well, but those I have are made in Japan.

Would be much cheaper to produce here than in Japan!!
