2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission the truck!!! LOOK AT THE TRUCK!!

[cyborg]

Pretty cool platform for a 4x4 trail rig, eh?

Yes, that is a CTD strip under the RAM 2500

 

[Turbo Tim 1]

Holymoly, did the government pay for those???? :-laf

 

[Hohn]

That is a a 4x4 tug vehicle used to pull AGE equipment around the flight line.

Most of them are 12Vs geared with like 6:1 axle ratios. The tq to the wheels is unbelieveable.

I used one as my "command" vehicle last desert rotation. Top speed: 28mph at 2900rpm in 3rd gear (auto trans).

Yes, the gov't pays for the vehicles. Any other "them" is probably not taxpayer funded.

If they did, it's one of the best uses of my tax dollars that I've seen in a long time!!

Woo Hoo I agree :-laf

 

[cyborg]

roger that.

At least they didn't buy junk on that contract.

They're probably only in the sandbox.



But still, with a few mods and a "functionally creative" bed/box it would make a killer trail rig.

 

[WDixon27]

probably wouldn't be too hard to pop wheelies with a manual transmission with the short wheel base :-laf nice hooters too

 

[BadDNA]

Holymoly, did the government pay for those???? :-laf

Yup, sure did. They were built in my hometown, Hudson, MA by Entwistle Co.

You'd have to have a Cummins to handle the weight of those Uh, big "bombs"... .

 

[KennethS]

Not bad but can she cook and drive?Has the

wheel base been shorten?Looks top heavy?

 

[Cummins Pilot]

Cummins powered tugs and girls like her, I'm joining up!

 

[CHolman]

Good point KennethS, I better volunteer my services and get on one of the C-130's out on the strip right now and sortie out of here with my 3500 dually. "LMAO" With my Super 62, I'll move some stuff.

 

[rrausch]

Why didn't they have soldiers like that when I was in (1970-71)

And... I think they are real!

 

[EDembowski]

I still don't see any truck :--) :--) :--)

 

[fkovalski]

Missles! Look at the missles :--)

 

[Mactruck]

Yup, sure did. They were built in my hometown, Hudson, MA by Entwistle Co.

At least they spelled Cummins right. But what's a didge???

 

[LOtero]

i didnt see anything like that when i was in the desert damnit! but we do use one of those tugs to tow our F-16s (18000- 35000lbs) and it pulls them as if nothing were there, very maneuverable and just plain fun to drive. . and noticing the coloring on the "bombs", yellow stripe means live blue means for fun only, looks like they are appropriatly colored!! he he :-laf

 

[vssman]

There's lots of them (Not those... the tugs - no, no, no I said T ugs) for auction here: http://www.govliquidation.com/



If they were 4X4, they'd make a great plow truck provided you could keep the rear end on the ground with the plow up :-laf

 

[cyborg]

I still don't see any truck :--) :--) :--)

Yeah, my friends said "what truck?".



The rest of you pervs are gonna get me banned. :-laf
