One for the pure and fantastic sound, and one, of a (more) 'aggressive' appearance', And all the better sounding after a few..beeerz! This was on a way to a damaged vehicle off the road.

This is great. Love that whistle on the turbo. I bet the chains, cables, and other recovery equipment on your front bumper weigh more than most peoples cars!

For those who fought for it, FREEDOM has a flavor the protected will never know.

LOBO,
what does it take to get/build an '86 Kaiser M813A2?

It feels good to finally contribute MY own photos of MY truck instead of only being able to admire everyone else's. 4" of fresh snow this morning

No snow here. Not to cold. Thought this was great.

I am a member of a local snowmobile trail grooming club. Is there any chance that a 5 ton or a deuce could pull a 3000 pound drag to groom snomo trails. If you have a few minutes to chat someday my #is 231-631-2263 Joe

Pure speculation but, I doubt it unless you can have some snow tracks made for the back. Virgin snow or thin packed snow maybe, thick light pack from snowmobiles, progress with tire chains probably wouldn’t be pretty. These things are HEAVY with not a lot of ground contact...

But then we miss all the fun of watching the near-hopeless recovery from our armchairs:

I can tell you from experience it will make a mess in deep snow. I have had mine in very deep snow on the logging roads with chains on all six tires. It keeps on going until you get too much snow packed in front of it. It will keep digging down till it hits gravel. Not a good idea for grooming. I normally run some extra weight in the back as well to assist with traction. Flotation is not an option in these trucks! I'm on XZL 53's

Thanks for the replys I was hoping that a chained up military vehicle could be made to work. Guess I'm back to putting tracks on a conventional 1 ton and possibly adding a front diff locker. I've been reading thru posts and it sounds like you are all a great bunch of guys. And I may yet buy a deuce or a 5 ton! Are There any other surplus military vehicles I should look at?
