I know. Faster to use a winch is all. And why not practice "vehicle recovery" drills and get paid for it?
so why is buddy in the driver seat not armed to the teeth? or at least sporting a vest and shoulder rig?

Sweet Jesus, yes these things need new tires.
Sadly, "buddy" in driver's seat is me.
We are in a "safe" area so we weren't all armored up ourselves. We always wear armor when we leave the gates, so you know that we do keep safety in mind. Makes it a little harder to fit in the Landcruiser though:

Oh, and yes, we are armed to the teeth too.
Yea we modded the seats so we could wear our vests. The UN vehicles are set up for small people. It was always fun pulling up to check points squeezed into the car before the mods were made. Get your mechanics to extend the seat bracket on the back rest and drill an extra set of holes in the base to allow an extra inch or 2 of room. Makes a huge difference when you have to exit the vehicle at high speed.

I'm 6'6" tall. I am sucking no matter what. However, my POV '60 at home has extended rails for the seat adjustment....made life so, so nice. It actually has the ability to slide back too far.
Armored landcruiser Heavy, they are heavy in stock form. That OSHKOSH has alot of line out . Happy New YEAR to all of the forces over there cleaning up over seas !
Nice pic bosljeff.

Yeah, we opted for tons of line out & daisy chain...figured we wanted to keep that bajillion ton thing from sinking. Solid ground real estate was pretty rare in that location.
