South Korean Deuce - on the beach!

[GoldComet6]

Just saw this pic in the newspaper (WSJ) and thought I'd share. It's of a South Korean Deuce being used on a beach near the border with North Korea.

Because besides having a different engine, it basically is !

They copied a lot of our stuff, got nice looking 715s too.

Looks like we gave South Korea the plans awhile ago to build these trucks.

Kia M715/KM45 series trucks


appears; their KM25 = our M35

I'm here in korea now, they got em driving around all the time, its like heaven, but i dont think theyre selling any of them since thats what their armys currently using and they keep em well maintained, but they did get alot of both wheel and track from us, i got to drive one of their m113 and its was the same with a few Korean parts and they added a crane for recovery and a new paint job.... their Jeeps are one of a kind though, i got alot of pictures of most of their vehicles if you'd like

I wonder how many parts are interchangable with ours.

Anyone notice that the antenna brackets on the jeeps are the same ones used on M151s?
