We had something similar up here, before we bought the LAV III and all of their variants.
The ones that I am familiar with are the "Cougar" tank trainer, and "Grizzly" Fast attack AFV, much more usefull over road and med terrain than the M113
These guys may know, as they are the importer. Hagglund track all-terrain vehicles
We often see them come up on the Canada Heavy Truck Trader. Most of those have been rebuilt after mil surplus, and then have had the crap beaten out of them in the Oil Patch!
OK, class, here is a homework project for you! Get out the video camera, a tape measure, and hopefully a target. I really want to see this!

OR VIDEO!
JollyRoger had some great tips. We had the MLVW up here, which was basically an M35A2.5
What I found, was that even the least trained private could usally outshift that Allison.
If you can't use a clutch... well get the A3.They do have some nice features, BUT....
The CTIS is just one more...

You do realize, that this was not all good luck, It's now your job to restore this big green beast, and make it proud!

Been there, done that, still rehabbing a back injury from crappy springer seats! (1.5 year later!)

It takes a special amount of jam to even attempt this!
When you are done, well, you know how many of these are left, and they ain't making any more of them!
COOL! :driver:
You do realize, that you don't need a bumper sticker to project attitude.
