Well here she is. I know its not my xj but this will have to do considering the circumstances. Let me know if you like it or not! Dont worry the enemy knows all about this beast so Im not putting something out there that sholudnt be....they keep trying to come up with new ways to destroy it. so far they have sucked at it.

wow. that thing is ridiculous...how heavy is it?

and...thank you very much for serving, it is infinitely appreciated.:us::us: :clap::us::us:

 

[Begster]

That thing is awesome.

All I can think of with that is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXl3Pdxrn-k

Thanks for the service.

It is rediculous but it is an amazing machine in my opinion. with all gear including counter IED systems,comm gear, recovery gear,tools,weapons with ammo,food,water,extra fuel and personel with their personal gear your looking up to 45-50,000lbs....yeah its heavy. but she sure can take a blast. By the way that video is halrious. It has option for AWD however it has lockers. low range for both 2wd and 4wd if needed. I love it.

Oh sweet. You running that without a swaybar?

 

[ibjeepin821]

It actually handles pretty well. I have had it around 70 and it does fine on smooth road....throw in some sudden turns and bumps then it gets a little sketchy. No sway bars though.

 

[5spd_xj]

thats pretty awesome... i know i'm afraid of my jeep at 70mph... lol

 

[Crusher16]

[bgwyllys61]

[userbmx1315]

[Crusher16]

Haha yeah, thats what I was thinking too. GPMs.

 

[FlexdXJ]

I hear those things are ridiculous. They have an arm on the side that can reach out and set off IED's don't they

 

[Kittrell]

You got an NSN on that?

 

[Hammered]

it needs some bushwackers. HAHA

 

[scottmcneal]

Is that got a 5.5 long arm on her? Thank you for serving :us: :cheers:

 

[Jester99]

This needs to be the new TIV for the storm chasers show. Good luck over their!!

 

[ibjeepin821]

Hey guys im glad you enjoy her. The name of it is an MRAP(mine resitant ambush proptected) the one with the arm is the buffalo which is for IED clearing. This one is to carry us Marines from place to place safely or conduct patrols. it has the v shape one piece capsul which is what gives its ability to be so effective against explosions. it has saved so many lives...just wish they could have thought of it sooner. the original design was from South Africa from the warfare they face which was similar to this one we are encountering in Iraq and Afgan. enough with the history lesson. The average milage with a combat load is around 5 mpg. its running a cat c7 motor with turbo. It holds up pretty well I think. Just a little slow off the start. People have walked away from some crazy attacks.I have seen first hand how effective it is. Mabey we can push for a civilian model???? people in the states can be scary drivers too. Oh before I forget its leafs front and rear. Thanks for your support guys!!

i stood the gate on the back of alasad air base and i saw my fare share of these beasts come through all blacked on one side bc of a blast. seen on with a chuck of somthing stickin out or melted to the hull. all the boys and girls inside were unharmed.

5 mpg or not id still rock it.
