@kendelrio ah just in case of confusion indeed I wasn't talking about toward the middle of the roof but these two plank-like things seemingly bolted vertically off the frame around doors themselves (and btw funny re predator and escaped hunter tho hehe)

no problem @kendelrio just found the two rack-like thing hanging past the door top a bit unusual in an interesting way anyway I like the way you took that photo tho, it looks like one of these "clomping the hills looking for a certain someone/something" kind of stance

unrelated but as I recall this was for a good part why the Iltis and alike were often shortly retired or reassigned to some non-military tasks .. they may had been good at scouting in the first place but the lack of bomb protection etc basically wrote their army-related uses off for good

@kendelrio just..what..is..that..?! *points toward the roof* :-)

well @CanadianAR if this indeed is for a hmmwv I would think that if the military already did it in very-sandy tropical climates then you shouldn't really have any problem yourself in our very-untropical climates? (heh)

not directly related to the humvee but even certain cars continued having "knock-down base engine" on the sheet in selective markets (eg that 4dr car alike to an accord? it'll be introduced with a 1.4L engine then four years later this is very much well replaced by a 2.0L base instead except in...

I'm not sure about e-steer as its quite new as far as finding any secondhand heavyduty ones goes (save for wrecked highway tractors with relatively intact frontend) but hmm might or might not be your thing to recheck about certain old buses and tractors (kenworth in particular re latter) for air...

@msgjd always interesting to see how the jut-out bumper threatens to but doesn't actually gorge the land n front of it eh?

bit tired here atm but still writing this tho, i'm sure someone somewhere have thought up at least one of these slightly relative plates? IRONCLAD STUBBORN (ok umm maybe not every dmv offices would like that?) HARDHEAD WHAT EMP (a funny question mark indeed, anyone?) ANTI EMP SHCK PRF (or SHOCK...

@HDN what you just said sounds like the particular drivetrain in the volkswagen iltis, apparently I've at least once heard about of that it was really part-time 4wd but with how weak the shafts were it was "advised" to only ever use 2wd mode for making tight turns on dry hard surfaces but to...

someone needs to send that through a "life-sized" mouse maze? HA?! (I mean its a lot more agile than the usual single-cab steers-at-one-end vehicle, beside being able to face either direction without having to try turn around in a tiny space too)

first url already not working anymore but second one is just fine just fyi, interesting TM thats for sure (and i'm not too surprised at the use of an "offloading" platform as i didn't think the leaf springs would had liked the full shock of a drop being directly applied to them after all, right?)

I don't mean to start an offtopic remark but a fictional someone by the name of Winston Rothschild actually once mentioned that he started sewage service by using a station wagon with liner in the very rear although sudden stops could be a very messy affair! (I mean seriously tho, transporting...

regarding muffler shop, couldn't we wish for something a bit like Donaldson but sized more for smaller vehicles [especially with under-chassis systems] instead of big trucks? not saying there should be only one supplier, but simply that its someone who is clear on what they offer for a...

hmm can we maybe say "performance in the parking lot"? I don't know what else to even suggest about abusing the english language hehe ;-)

nice little machine there and hi from now-snowy-finally Canada here @RoadRash

see what @msgjd literally just said about true clearances? I'm going try not bang my head here right now sir!! (haha?)

learned a bit something new there, thanks @mkcoen (mind you I had already suspected it was originally operating in tropical climate what with that the soft-top looked like it was indeed designed with no sides apparently in mind)

well I don't really know much anything about chevrolet pickups (not my favourite in first place as you can see) but still.. nothing wrong but just a tiny friendly nitpick in the name of that its more likely THM400 not TH400 .. which GM has apparently used in quite a large range of cars and...

@Das_Haifisch I've seen too many photos and short clips online to know that I sure as heck won't want to find out that a just-being-rescued-now truck literally crumpled its box onto some a-bit-too-low concrete head somewhere (and to be honest with everyone here its crazy to see the variation in...
