View Quote @OregonShooter Even if you could buy one for $10-15,000 the maintenance is insane, if you can even find the parts. And if it breaks on the trail your buddies side by side isn’t towing it back. Not to mention at 10,000lbs it’s way over the weight capacity of most of the areas I use. I’ll just keep enjoying the ones I have at my disposal for the time being. Attached File |

Does anyone have a clue what that concealed "junk" tank is? My son, the armor nut, was going crazy trying to guess.

I took my son to "Tank Day" early this year. That was cool. This big bastard was impressive. From my research it's not even recent and many decades old. I can't remember what it was other than it was possibly British. I'm sure someone here will know.
What is more impressive is they have ordinance that cuts right through these things. Attached File Attached File |
