I drove a M-577 when I served (command post carrier of the M-113 APC) and hated to go on long road trips.
I would have a headache and my ears would ring for a long time afterwards.
I've ridden in a...
Ughhh...I've yet to attend my first meeting and I'll miss this one as well. My family will be leaving for vacation at Put-in-Bay, Ohio
Mike, continue to keep me updated...someday, I'll get to shake your hand!
They are those that enjoy the whine of a two stroke Diesel and then they are those that do not.
I do not...that loud Detroit Diesel gives me a headache after an hour or so.
I could never ride in a Gama Goat when I served (even with hear protection)
I was assigned a M-577A1 and was sick all the time.
Yes, my trailer is of the $1500 variety.
No is not heavy duty, but the few times I've hauled FSJ J series trucks, it seemed to do well behind my 1 ton diesel cargo van.

...like a 'Cliffs Notes' version of how to make your 5 ton run 70MPH! hehehe
Anyways....my thoughts are...from what I remember driving 5 tons when I served....they were a handful at 55MPH.
So, being older and...

I am sorry if I have bent any rules.
Thank you allowing this to stay and Thank you for your understanding.
My purpose is posting this was not show the battle damage, show dead bodies or give the enemy a score card to how well they are doing.
My point was how emotionally moved I was to be proud...
Yes, you are correct, that is the late and great George C. Scott.
From Wikipedia:
he hosted the TV series Weapons At War on A&E TV but was replaced after one season by Gerald McRaney for the last two seasons.
Weapons At War moved to The History Channel with Scott still being shown as host for...
To me, this was a sobering clip of how one A10, after clobbering the bad guys, took a beating and was able to safely bring home Colonel Bob Efferson.
I am proud to be an American as only we can engineer such systems.
I am also thankful for those Americans like Colonel Bob Efferson, that flew...
Here is a custom built Freightliner that is powered by a 12V92.
NOte how large the engine is and how much the nose of this truck was streached to cover that 2 stroke 12 cylinder monster.
IMHO, kewl, but not practical.
