last pics for now
my thoughts will always be with the men and women of the armed forces, and the less heard about contractors who are still out there and still taking fire on a daily basis.... as for me i live in Florida, finding it hard to get hired,so im gonna buy a truck, and lease on until im ready to go on my own authority, yes, im mad!!!

The MRAP's. I was hauling Caimen kits for them, which were huge armor plating that was added to the sides of the passenger compartment. The ones in your picture don't have them. I also hauled parts for the 3 axle version of the MRAP built by BAE. Those things are huge.
Hummers will soon be a thing of the past. The military is planning on replacing the entire fleet.
