"Restoration" is a broad term and without a method of gaging it, can mean anything from cleaning off the mud to a full rebuild better than the factory ever realized. I've seen both extremes in the MV hobby. The car hobby has a host of terms; off-frame, factory-authorized, etc., that all aid. But...

Why is this under this under Russian vehicles??

OK, finally a few decent photos....Early XM-706/V-100

"Russian version of our own stealth Bomber" Hardly. First off, this is an air superiority fighter, not a bomber. Second, the Russians are quite capable of building their own aircraft using their own designs and have been doing so for many decades. This is a fact as recognized by the DOD and...

You just need to purchase/borrow a tuning unit and modify it length to correct tuning range.

That engine worked just fine in the SOCOM Jeep TJ I owned last year. 28mpg at 70mph all day long. Plenty of beans on hill off-road. It's gearing and torque that count, not horsepower.

The 3rd. axle easily disperses the added weight. In fact a bobbed truck would be more likely to get stuck in sand.

The IDF currently uses a really cool domestic version: Israel military Jeep Storm M240 Mk2

Very simple. 1. File an ATF Form 6 on the vehicle you wish to import. It's free and seldom any problem. 2. Upon approval- usually 90 days- the vehicle can be shipped. The seller must have export approval at his end. In the UK, it is just a technicality. Have the seller be certain the vehicle is...

If you want to save money, why on earth would you hire someone to do what you can do yourself? I've imported 12 armor vehicles. It's not rocket science.

Depends upon many factors. Where is it located, and what is the port of destination? Does it run? Are you using a RORO?

You are going to get different opinions because there are so many variables. One you did not mention is the receiver and their setup? No matter what setup you use, they do not compare with modern equipment for a fraction the weight and trouble, so don't expect miracles. Be aware, too, the legal...

Wow, super nice truck. Too bad you didn't get to Evansville. It would have been nice to have a 6th foreign vehicle there. Did you import it yourself?

I think you are right, Rory. Having owned 18 armored vehicles and working with tens more, it is certainly one of my favorite thing about the V-100. Not only is it hugely simple by armor standards, there is room to spare for everything. It is not all crammed into every corner.

Ever seen an OT-64 in the real? Nothing low about it. Its a big machine. As for it being a bargain; after purchase, shipping to US, service, and 3 mpg, I'm not so sure. And when you have to have any parts shipped from Cz, if you can find them, whoa. Without a war history, it will not appreciate...

Great idea. You could call it...hmm...a half-track!

Of course its entry level; what other MV can you buy for less than $4K?

Anyone stuck in the "Jeep Club" mentality is being very short sighted. In view of what is happening in Wisconsin and other places, and in view of the new faces of the MVPA leadership, we NEED the MVPA. The membership are us. And like it or not, it is the only organization that speaks for our...

I went last year and bought several HMMWV seats, BRAND NEW for $40.00 each. So, I'll be going back. It was a neat show.

Interesting shot of the V-150, Rory. Glad you found it to share.
