    What is it?

    NO. The following members got it right with the Buffalo MP/CV (Mine Protected/Clearance Vehicle). The Buffalo evolved from a South African design, and the prototype was built by Technical Solutions Group Incorporated, later acquired by Sonic Jet Performance Incorporated, and finally...

    feel free to kick me out if you wish ...

    That IH cab is similar to the ones used on M920s & older M915-series trucks. The military also used lots of IH Paystar 5000-series trucks in GSA roles around bases/posts....swap out the fiberglass tilt hood you have now for a Paystar-series front clip, and you've got instant "cred." :mrgreen...

    is it safe to pull a M348A2 with a deuce?

    Traction: Super Singles or Duals?

    Hello, newbie here; but I was in the USMC in the 80s & early 90s, when the switch-over from NDTs to Super Singles occurred. The big reasons (from what I was told at the time) for the late switch-over were cost & technology. The SS were newer high-performance radials, and the technology for...
