My new truck!

[Apache]

We've got one of these in the vehicle test chamber at work at the mo.

It's feckin hooooge! Had a sit in the drivers seat this morning. Vis is nil in all directions, and it weights 14 tons!

Will try to get pics tomorrow.

[Sancho]

So big you couldn't find a normal size picture of it?

[Apache]

The truck's even bigger than the picture!

It's probably 30ft long, the pics is probably only a foot or so! Just imagine what would happen if I posted the full size one!!!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Is that a hydraulic powered winch?

[Chillitt]

There was an 'open topped' one of them(or something like it) at MPH live at the NEC last month... they are quite big....

[MattF]

Mate, I'll grab a sheet of A1 paper for you. You can try to make your next pic that large then.

Anyone got a 20 tonne jack we can borrow for a min? We need to get the thing on axle stands (got those!) so it can be run with the wheels turning, but our jack is only 7.5 tonne and wont budge it!

[gwh200]

how about asurf train involving ten surfs,each one passing over the surf bottle jack !!

Anyone got a 20 tonne jack we can borrow for a min?

We got three 50 tonne hydraulic jacks in the factory I'm in at the mo - but I'm in Welshpool.

Sorry Bud!

[Apache]

We just bought a 20 tonner. Will be here tomorrow.

[da SLUG man]

call ATS for a jack... they lift artic wheels up...

surely you only need to lift quarter of the weight anyway??

[Apache]

We got it sorted cheers. Not so easy to jack up as not conventional underneath. The bumper (front) looked jackable, but no-one would trust me

Here's some pics of the one we've got in, and the one we're testing on Thursday - by far the coolest! It's like one of those descent ships in 'Aliens' inside

Much more modern too, coils rather than leafs, hydraulic front and rear steer etc etc.

[surfenstein]

but have you tried any of them on your offroad course.

[Apache]

It's coming

One of the directors said he's gonna send me (cos of my offroading experience) and another of the guys to Millbrook to learn to drive military trucks for future work

WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Mmmmm, satin black, 5 bar chequerplate, where can I get some??
