Not a M151, but have a look

Unread post by richard » February 26th, 2012, 7:15 pm

A little bit off topic, but have a look, what kinda mod others are doing with non-M151 jeeps ... Hope the M151 will stay on tyres. :D

Great stuff Richard! Gotta love that traction.

For those that haven't seen this in awhile, and you newer guys that never have, is my vote for "BADEST MODIFIED M151 OF ALL TIME"

You would have a real hard time walking in there.

OH,I didn't forget you were a Seabee, quite the contrary. If you weren't working you were drinking hence the inability to walk in there. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What a machine! That thing is major bad. But if it ever gets stuck it’s going to be like “holy finless brown trout”. Then I can see it being taken apart piece by piece and carried out on mules.

I only see a 151 grille on it, so it's a long stretch to call it a modified M151, but it's the coolest machine I've ever seen. Makes other "all terrain vehicles" look like limited terrain vehicles.

Hey Top,
Bleddyn was on my FaceBook page for awhile, but he dropped off somewhere along the way. While chatting with MrR last week I tried to call the cell number that I had programed into my phone for him, and the number has been re-issued to someone else. I did a quick search for he and Nate and came up empty. Last we spoke he was traveling between Texas and Florida and having fun with his delivery jeep. Sounded very happy and content, that's all I have.

Right before i deployed back in 2010 I tried to get intouch with Bleddyn but the number i had didn't work so i drove over to his house and he wasn't home. I remember it looking as if someone else lived there; there wasn't the typical Military stuff surrounding his house. He may have moved to his ranch...I dunno.
