Waiouru - New Zealand

[Andrew Rowe]

Latest heavy haulage trip for our Military vehicle Easter camp out. My 1972 , Ex NZ Army M818 with 250 Cummins with Jacob Brakes.The gross combination was about 36 tons. From my base to Waiouru , central North Island New Zealand was about 50 miles..... and took about 3 hours! Climbing all the way from sea level to around 1000 foot. She purred like a kitty and did not miss a beat. Thanks go to forum member Wes for supplying a new rebuilt PCB just in time for the trip, Cheers Andrew.

Looks like a fun setup. Nice collection.

Anychance of some pics of the power buldge in the bonnet for the Jake? (Need to do that for my RAEME conversion on my M816)...

Nice truck and collection! I was in NZ about a year ago. Beautiful country! Land of the flightless birds!
