Looks like a 113 chassis kinda. Very cool!

yep-MII3 FMC but in a pick up truck syle-similar to MLRS,still cant quite believe we got these road registered.

All I can say is WOW! If they sold them over here all the electronics would have been de-milled. I can see the SEZ is still there, does the tracking camera and radar still function? The track is a M548 modified for the system.

yes indeed M548-or in this role RCM748 all derived from the M113 base family of APC-the 113 is the largest selling milveh in the west-having over 40 countries as customers-talk about getting it right!
this particular TRLV -[tracked rapier launch vehicle] is fully operational , featuring all the latest up grades to the tracking and aquisition systems , its not really privately owned-more corporately owned.still looking forward to my road march next month or so.

Here is my one having a play a Beltring last year note the different front window. The earlier ones had the 3 peice drivers window.

Out here in the the Northwest, FMC took the M-113 running gear and made a log skidder out of them. Ha a hydraulic arch on them. They were really fast.

I have had a good play with a M548 and they are a very quick track not as quick as CVRT but more fun..
