    Not a bad looking truck. By any chance is this one of the trucks from the dealer in Denmark? I think his name was Christian. He 20 or 30 trucks. If I recall he wanted to sell them as a package though.

    The new Oshkosh prototype is basically a Tatra 815 as reverse engineered in many ways by Oshkosh. For several years there was a strong competition between Terex (parent of Tatra AS at that time) and Oshkosh for the LMMV (?) Marine 20 ton truck contract (something like 1.5 billion). There...

    hey Dean - glad to see you are thinking of making improvements to performance. Most of the guys who use the 813 in Truck Trials are using them pretty much stock. To get a few more horses out of the engine will put in bigger Jikov injectors or turn the timing up a bit. But you get a fair...
