The post whore thread.

Goodnight, William.

I hear ya, Bob. That is an impressive and intimidating vehicle for sure.

Goodnight my friends.

:)

What's the point of the tandem rear axle? Troops don't weigh that much and they aren't doing no knocks at the top of an off road trail. Is it just to have more tires in case of a flat?

You really out? Just got here. Not for long though. Glad to see you’re posting again.

That armor has to be heavy. (That ranks high on the list of dumbest statements I’ve posted lately). Maybe tandem for redundancy, so if a rear tire is blown, it can still limp away? Or maybe armor is just heavy.

An MRAP’s empty weight is 14 - 18 tons depending on configuration. I would assume that is a good enough reason for tandem duallys

Pitching, catching, lot of questions need to be asked before anyone starts, anything.

Didn't think about the weight of the armor. Just the tax burden. OHHHHHHHH

Well, if your budget gives you X tax dollars to spend and you don’t spend them all, you get a budget cut next year. So you better add some tires to use up the tax dollars, maybe even go into the red so you get a bigger budget next year.
