    Scorpion's first Parade

    I was thoroughly amused, he sounds like a pretty interesting guy, who is obstinate and compelled to refuse to bow to political correctness. While I don't advocate blindly refusing to follow authority, I give the guy kudos for surviving 17 years in lock up, and getting another piece of armor...

    Scorpion's first Parade

    Will it work with M939 trucks? Is it being sold "retail" or through discount channels like GL? Us mortals can never afford the tech, unless it's being offloaded for 10 cents per $.

    Scorpion's first Parade

    I just looked up the truck and yes, front axles are steering 10 ton units, and double rears are 20 ton "double drive rear bogeys", all are made by GKN. Cross diff and interaxles locks. It is a pretty awesome truck, just look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm_5eBYppzw

    Scorpion's first Parade

    I am not at all en expert on the truck, but it does have 2 steering axles and 6 wheel drive. I think it has locking diff's which is a huge benefit.

    There is a very neat system used in Europe called DROPS. Basically lets you snag a trailer and piggy back it onto the truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7hdu1zuVKA I saw a Foden DROPS truck for sale in UK for 17,500 British pounds http://www.mod-sales.com/vehicle/search/38544/Foden.htm and...

    Scorpion's first Parade

    Curious, what kind of trailer is that? Your 923 isn't the a2 version, which is what I have, and I think the prior versions had a weaker motor? Just wondering whether my 923a2 would have the guts to pull a trailer with similar weight armor. I'm leaning toward a Saurer 4K, which is about 12 tons...
