Another old and new

Unread post by Francis Marion » June 13th, 2011, 2:10 pm

Ricks photo reminded me of this one I took last year.

If you look to your left you will see the ranges of Cp. Williams where I had to try and maneuver the one on the left over trails cut by the one on the right.

Very cool! I can't tell you how bad I want a basic M998 just for tooling around, maybe in my next life.

Just a little size difference. Is the Hummer yours or the military's?

As nice as it would be to own, I don't think I can afford to keep one on the road right now. The Army still owns and maintains that one.

It looks like it's about time to replace the passenger side front tire on the MUTT.

On the day that pic was taken I had 6 new tires stacked in my driveway waiting for wheels to be stripped and repainted.

Also looks like it needs a serious alignment!

That's just the angles on the image. The alignment is well withing specs according to the manual.
