Anyone into military vehicles / surplus?

[russknight]

This was my daily driver before I got my Pioneer street legal. Titled as a 2010. M925A2 ROPS. 8.3 Cummins turbo diesel with an Allison 5 speed automatic. Just went from 14:00-20's to 16:00-20's. Any of you folks into military stuff?

Awesome! The government recently released the 7 ton MTVR's to the public. They are bad to the bone. Fully independent suspension, 425 hp Cat, 7 speed Allison riding on 16:00's. What is the trailer with the cover? I don't think I've seen one of those before.

The M 416 I modified

Unless you’re talking about the round topped one? That’s the Pioneer tool trailer on a M116A1 chassis

that was designed to be towed by the M37

Got a buddy that has a restored M37. Just like new. Love those old trucks.

I always wanted a M116A2 Pioneer tool trailer which was the later design made to be towed by CUCV’s

I have a M105A2. Haven't measured it yet to see if my Pioneer will fit in it. If it will I'm going to buy some loading ramps and use it. I have a Globe all terrain equipment trailer I've used a couple times, but the ramps are too heavy to lift by hand.

If true, that's bad ass.

I'm curious to see what people do with the surplus MTVRs that just came up. They are a really cool truck.

I have a book at home with details on turning one into a really cool expedition camper

An MTVR or a HEMTT? I have seen 2 different HEMTT campers but never an MTVR

FMTVs are pretty lame in comparison to an MTVR
