Probably talking about the super Jeep 151's complete with roll bar, big tires, and gun mount for a .50 cal. They had a few other modifications, and each unit would "doctor" them up to fit the mission.
I might have a picture of them somewhere; we used to beat the crap out of them Jeeps in Oki at NTA and CTA. <O:p</O:p

Are you talking about the modified older jeeps that were used by the FAV plt or the newer Mercedes version of the FAV?

:flag: This is very similar to the ones that Force Recon was using during Desert Storm. We had to bail them out a couple of times because of mechanical problems.
