I'm not convinced that the truck I sent the original photo of is a Nodwell Commander. All of the Nodwell wheeled vehicles shown on their website are 2 and 3-axle, not 4-axle, and none is as close-coupled as the one I sent the photo of. Alaskossie

On the York Steel truck in Anchorage, all three axles were driven. It looked like the first two axles represented the original wheelbase. It was plain to see where the frame had been extended to take the third powered axle. As far as I know this truck is not for sale (though I don't know...

Bigbee, Very interesting! I had no idea that there may be another Esarco 8X8 in the US. Wonder what happened to this one? This is the earlier model with the flat-sided cab, some were open-topped. See one that was on eBay not too long ago...

I realize this is not an ex-military vehicle, but it is so over-the-top that it deserves to be looked at. I took the photo from behind a storage yard fence in Anchorage, so it's not "up close and personal." This is an 8X8 oilfield truck, used on the North Slope of Alaska. I don't know who the...

From my small archive of photos of odd vehicles, a few photos of the ex-military 8X8 owned by York Steel Co. in Anchorage, Alaska. I only saw it in action once -- winching a 5-story apartment building on rollers to a new site half a block away... I don't know the original military model. It...

MWG Esarco 8X8 truck (UK) To answer the questions: The cab is aluminum (aluminium) with the curved-profile doors from the familiar Land Rover Defender. The bed is steel. The unladen weight of the truck is 7837 lb. and the payload is 4415 lb. I guess it could be called a2-ton truck. Esarco...

And here is the drive train. Alaskossie

And here's another. Alaskossie

Looks like I can only attach one photo at a time. So here's another. Alaskossie

ArmyMan, Thanks for telling me what to do in attaching photos. I'm attaching three photos of my 1990 MWG Esarco 8X8, as a test. If it works, I'll post a few more. Hope they're not too large. The truck is Land Rover-based, with a 4-cyl Perkins turbo diesel engine and auto transmission...

It is snow-covered, but I've got photos from when it was not. Just have to figure out how to post them..... Alaskossie

Tatra 813, Sorry, I don't own a Tatra 8X8. My 8X8 is a "baby" by comparison with yours. It is a 1990 MWG Esarco 8X8 prototype, one of three built for the British military to test. It is a Land Rover-based 4-door crew-cab, with a bed out back. It has a 4-cyl. Perkins turbo engine, auto...

I'm just new to the list today; testing whether I can post yet. I'm quite interested in 8X8 military vehicles (I'll post photos and specs of my own 8X8, after I fiugure out how to post photos). Who is the Alaska-based Tatra contact? I'm in Anchorage, and I spotted a brand-new 8X8 Tatra...
