How come the USA didn't do this?

[koda6966]

So technically the USA did build it, because Oshkosh built a sandcat as well. (The second one I posted)

the oshkosh one is built from the F-550. And I want one

looks to me like it needs more lighting up front. just my $.02
otherwise, looks good!

are those SEALED BEAMS?!!! Sealed beams are soo obsolete and wasteful.

No, they are not sealed beams. I don't know what the exact name is but they are wicked bright.

I think that SuperDuty is pretty cool. It does need bigger tires though

Looks like plain old halogen to me. http://cfs8.tistory.com/image/19/tistory/2008/06/01/17/32/48425e899dc40

I like FPI's better, but than again I am biased.

Oh, those, I thought you was talking about the other rig. Yeah, they are sealed beams the same as any other XL work truck. Dad's F-250 has those and they do kind of stink, got some brighter than standard ones and they really are not much different than more modern headlights.

Don't thank us yet, it's probably MORE debt, it's not paid for yet. Until we get some serious people at the Capitol, the war on "terror" is hardly paid off.

...but yeah, I would like to test drive one!

P.S. Beer at 2 in the morning had most influence on this post. but it is true

Maybe because the Ford armored vehicle is cheap to build then the Humvee. But those later armored vehicles don't look like they would be cheap to build.

In a nut shell. I like the do all, go anywhere Humvee. Those H2 & H3 copy clones are just street vehicles. If I wanted to, there is a guy sell the real deal. A 1988 Military Humvee with 32K miles on it for $20K+.
