Pretty simple, took the M923A2 mud bogging in a pit that wasn't designed right. Put chains on all 6 wheels, strapped in and hope for the best was all one could do. I hit it so hard I ripped the bottom out of the pit on the second run, stuck it so good on the second run a M936A2 that was there retrieving vehicles and pulled me out the first time couldn't yank it out. They had to call in a 50T wrecker to pull it.
Ended up winning the competition "imagine that".

I respect the full send. Needed more initial velocity and that concrete block not in the bed and you may have made it out. looks like your rear just sank.

They would only let me back up so far or I would have. Pickup trucks full blown crate motor ones couldn't even get as far as I did. Too deep, too steep of a drop, so many wrong variables, but it was fun. More of was surfing mud in front is why the rear sank as it did.

Please clarify which M151 in the picture is the one being voted on.

From the nomination thread - " I nominate my M151a1. (MERDC in the rear) "

This to me says it is the MERDC camo one behind the OD one, which means we're voting on a vehicle that we haven't really seen yet?
The first voting pictures are presented here without that explanation and give the impression that the OD one is the subject.

Cheers

This is MERDC camo, which means Mobility Equipment Research and Design Command that was designed in the 70's, anything before that was just olive drab. Which means to have a MERDC camo it has the camo paint scheme of 1970's or newer.
