I'm glad you guys are finally receiving vehicles that offer some measure of protection. I understand the Marines and Sailors are utilizing the 4x4 version. I bet it doesn't go as fast as you'd like. Stay safe brother, we've lost way too many techs over there already. |

its pretty much coming down to where youre at....i know people from all services using the 6x6 and some using the 4x4... things awesome for what we do , just the suspension isnt made for jumping curbs going 40-50 mph.. weve broken a lot of stuff on these so far cant see it in the pic but what i love about MY truck, the numbers on the side are MY01XX , and mine just so happens to be, by chance ... MY01KJ |
