Once saw someone flying a larger model inside a parking garage. It was rather windy outside and he had just gotten it recently so I can't fault him for practicing inside where there is amble room and less wind to mess up flying and controls. But I would like to get my hands on one of those at...

160k for that?, no thank you :P. Had it been a Cougar or JEERV I would have been more willing to cough up with that kind of money...........if I had it :P

Isn't it the LDS-2 or is it the LDT-2 that supposedly has 210 Hp from the factory, I can't remember which of the 2 it is?. I mean that would be my engine of choice should I ever get the money and chance to get my hands on a deuce and a half (be it an american one or a norwegian one, but the...

Welldigger, do you have any concrete proof or experience that a singled out truck will perform better than a non-singled out truck?. From my time here so far it seems that some claims its the singled out's that do best, while others claim its the duallies that does best, so yea personally I am...

Why is the cooling fans blowing when there is no pilot?. Unless of course all the avionics would overheat and shut off :P

Same goes for wirerope etc. The only thing that is marginally safer as far as I can recall is actually using chain since the weight of it will simply drag itself down when it breaks.... BUT BUT, if you are winching etc always attach weights to your lines, that way you at least significantly...

SAving this so I might be able to have a look at it and see if I can recreate the links :P

My bad, I stand corrected. I must be confusing the Chieftain and the Centurion then. I know the Centurion is a dog to drive due to its transmission etc.

In an vehicle without power-assisted steering you would be correct :P. With power steering it becomes easier to turn a vehicle while its front axle is locked, as long as you don't do it or try on asphalt since it will wreck the axles and diffs in a short time.

I would ONLY use these for recovering something, and not for towing. The jerking of the rope that is bound to happen when towing etc will break those kinds of straps sooner or later since they are not designed for it. But each to your own. If the winch is pulling parts off the truck then I...

Reuben, Nice acquisition for your unit. I can only say I am very envious :P. Im serving in the Danish National Guard and as such does happen to see an MRAP from time to time, since we have some of the Cougars on loan from the US. The Cougar (wasn't really a Cougar, but a JERRV (Joint EOD Rapid...

DSD, looks like Eberhard, has the handle you might be looking for if you are still looking for that handle from the first PDF.

Here its encouraged to only use tow straps for towing. Tow rope here is basically a rope made up by a lot of strands of elastic cord giving it strength but also flexibility to handle a shock load which it will be starting and stopping. IMO you should NEVER be using ratcheting straps or rigid...

I have driven and is certified for both the G240 and the G290 and I would personally love to own a G290 one day. IMO the 240/290 has a distinct advantage over the V6 Diesels, as the V6's has all time 4x4 and the 240/290 has to be engaged or disengaged meaning that if you have a breakdown at some...

Guess I stand corrected. I actually always believed they were german and someone else told me they were originally british made, so yea >.<

Judging by the image it looks a lot like the Caiman models.

Do you want an exact replacement according to the pdf listed or have you decided to not bother. Because I think I have seen that kind of door handle before over here where I live :)

Patracy, Thats why I am presently considering adapting the tactic used by the danish police for the riot control vans. All the windows have been replaced with perspex/polycarbonate panes which means that if someone tries to toss a brick or rock at the window the window will simply take up the...

Where I live its illegal to flat tow ANY vehicle without a driver in the towed vehicle. And I personally think the material thickness in that telescopic tube is rather thin and flimsy, from what I can see on the pictures posted. I am equially impressed that Ibis-Tek simply sent you an matching...

I like how they "oversell" that product. I don't think the shackle is really properly protected against all types of attack pr say. I still have a couple of caliber's handles that I will stick on my truck when I get one, unless I spring for one of the danish ones since they sell those at the...
