Gag...torsion bar IFS...gag...


Like the Interco TrXus MT's though.

I'm on my second set of Interco MT's on my Pinz and they are absolutely great tires. I normally get about 8 months on a set of tires, it's not the miles, it's the rocks, and the first set of Intercos lasted 17 months. No flats on them and no leaks. Worth every penny.

Loved them on my Ranger. Wish they made them in a size I could use on one of my vehicles. They're too big for the Suzukis and too small for Big Ugly.

Looks home built to me. That or a proposal vehicle. I can't recall the military ever wanting something like headlamp covers on non-tactical vehicles, and certainly not the kind found in truck accessory shops and catalogs. Also, I would hope the military isn't considering using any tire from Interco. They don't have the quality of tires like Goodyear or Michelin.

I don't know if I can take the truck serious, it's not even green....

"Uh, hello, Onstar? Corporal Punishment here. Can I get you to vector a precision airstrike 3 clicks South of my position? And could you expedite that? I'm under fire at the moment...."

Four Wheeler magazine has shown a few concept military vehicles that GM has been trying to sell the Marine Corps. The most recent was a 24 volt system, diesel, hybrid. It wasn't a 12/24 volt system, but a true 24 volt and I think they said it sported HID lighting!

Oh...that truck must be someone's personal vehicle. If you look closely, it appears to have re-centered 8 bolt Humvee rims with USA 6x6 re-centers. I don't think that's a government deal because they wouldn't want to wait months on end to get the centers. It still has the satellite radio antenna on it too!

Does anyone still offer a live front axle?

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Dodge and Ford do in their 3/4 tons and 1 tons. Dodge also has a 1/2 ton solid front axle model but you have to order the MegaCab to get it.

Looks a lot like a LSSV, but I think it is someones copy of one.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

The sad thing is about these new truck with solid axles is they're not "real" solid axles. They have balljoints (nobody knows anything about kingpins anymore!) and unitized hub bearings instead of "real" wheel bearings. Ford does, at least, have lockout hubs.

I say Chevy should bring back the square body trucks, leaf springs up front, and solid axles! That's keep them from going under

Ok, well...maybe not, but I'd buy one! It's have to have a Duramax/Allison though.

Looks to me like the latest version of the LSSV/EMP in DHS guise. The backround looks somewhat familiar, but I cannot place it.
