They remind me of the annette island road mission. We lived oughtta the fkn things, building a road cross that torrrential rain sht hole.
They packed a little over 100 of us Army engineers onto a landing craft, and boated us over there like a heard of cattle.
I hate them. Climbing a mountain pass on the island, caught on fire with at least 16 troops in the back and we lost brakes
I came as close to dying in one of those, as in iraq.
Fk those ancient things.......
Our work trucks all through the war, were lmtvs with good ole CAT engines and i believe allison autos.
I used to flogg the fk out of those on FT richardson AK, turning on the 6 wheel drive and airing down the c.t.i.s to x terrain.
Above one ton pick up, especially with the inflated costs of used trucks, the LMTV would make a great firewood truck.
