Military vehicle and buggy

Went on a big road trip this past week, got some cool photos and video. I passed this one 18wheeler with the biggest tires i've ever seen. They had to have been 15 feet in diameter. Alley missed the shot though.

The buggy looks very nice. Was in TN.

the load times are kind of long. my digital camera makes the movie file sizes huge, good quality though.

You're right, but more specifically a PLS or LHS, I can never remember which one has the 5th axle. They have a pretty cool Detroit diesel that is 2 stroke, both supercharged and turbo charged, V8 w/ 92 CI per cylinder.

And despite being the "first wheeled vehicle to successfully complete the desert proving grounds testing"...

I can tell you that it took us (approx. 25 jarheads) 4 days , 2 backhoes, & a couple of 800 series dump trucks to drag one out of the swamp at Lejuene! Sissy arse tankers wouldn't even bring the tank retriever out, so we *shoveled* around it by hand (e-tools ), used the backhoes/loaders to keep the side clean, and the 5Ts to assist...

Seems our company was given 2 to "test" before they were doled out the rest of the fleet (Apr/May '81)... and we all know "testing" means see what you can break! Sucker "sunk" and was buried even with the tops of the fenders!

I'm just thankful the one *I* was driving made the turn and ended up on solid ground!
