Hummer is dead. And thank God for that....

I think I found the new truck I want....

It lost the rear. If you watch him pull out of the blast hole only the front two tires are digging... Stupid driveshafts..

Still mighty impressive that the tranny and tcase held up. I did say driveshaftS, plural.

I officially nominate that beautiful beast as the #1 vehicle for the Zombie Appocalypse.

 

[ranger_mclaren]

you gotta figure, maybe it has a tcase where you can do rw, 4w, or fw and they didnt want to take the chance that the rearend did go to garbage with it. soo maybe it didnt break

I know i've posted these before but can't seem to remember where....

Anyway, here's the reality of most modern military armored calamities.

These things are overloaded from the factory, before we throw thousands of pounds more armor to them, and stow all our gear in them. if memory serves, all it took was too much skinny pedal and a little axle hop to do this....

anyway, it kept me busy towing and repairing the pos.

Holy Shit

On a related note, something just knocked my laptop over....

I like a good impractical vehicle, that's what makes it cool.

Duck tape will fix that.

It appears to be a close copy of the BAE 4X4 RG-31 Chassis. Which wouldn't surprise me since it is from South Africa. That is where the MRAP originated from and there is several companies that build them down there. They originated from the African Bush War's from the mid-70's.

I'm not surprised you broke that axle, they are way overloaded with the Skeleton and Add-On-Armor boxes. I did ALOT of work on the Caiman and Caiman Plus while I was a contractor in Iraq. The problem is that they are using an LMTV chassis which is crack prone with just an armored cab, hell if you attempt to pick a Caiman up with a HEMMTT wrecker it will snap the frame in half. I got a friend that is a welding engineer for BAE and he was a great asset to me while I was in the field, hell I had everything from engineering schematics to instructions on how to change a tire in an orderly and proficient military manner. I knew more about those trucks than the damn Field Rep's that made 200K a year.

And this didn't replace the Hummer, this did, the MATV...
