Geez, that is just awesome! There's only one thing better than having a cool MV, and that's being able to make actual use out of it. Great stuff, and good job!
That's just lunacy. What could be the purpose? Is there a problem with stolen MVs from the Government in Illinois or something? I think it's painfully obvious that if a civilian is driving a MV, it's no longer in military service. What kind of mark are they talking about? Something like a...
Yeah, Ive seen a lot of trucks tore up from deer. Moose are really hard on a truck. We got off lucky. We were in a Kenworth T6, and all it did was knock the front fascia loose on one side, and bust up a headlamp and foglamp. We got it patched up at the next fuel stop.
Hmmmm, M715s in Pakistan?? Quick, someone grab that blackout driving lamp assembly off the hood! Just kidding, but that is kind of cool to see so far from home.

There was a nice spot on The History Channel on the Unimog. Told about it's design and creation as a agricultural vehicle to help rebuild Germany. Basically their version of our common farm tractor except a lot more versatile. Told about how the track width was designed to drive between rows of...
One other M715Zone member found out what it is for us. It's a Cougar armored vehicle for EOD use, made in SC by Force Protection.

Opie, there was a yard near here somewhere that had a few Deuces in it, but the guy was supposed to be super pricey. I'm thinking it is in Buchanan. I'll try and find out more info, and post it up.
