why don’t you have a Troop Carrier?

Why

 

Because that’s not a 2nd gen Tacoma.

 

it’s exactly like one
but way better in multiple ways

it’s like a 2nd gen that got nice clothes, haircut, and got strong at the gym

 

Where do I get one, that’s awesome

 

Garage space limitations.

Came so close to getting a surplus ambulance humvee but realized I dont have the driveway and garage space to properly tear it down and rebuild it. The idea of a camper/RV build from some type of surplus 6x6 is always in the back of my mind.

 

Because I use my truck to do truck things, not just overlanding.

 

Because one is a Land Rover and neither are readily available in the US.

 

Because I don't carry troops. I carry camping gear. The troops can find their own fucking ride.

 

Because I got no troops

 

portal axles are cool
but I hear the stock humvee engine is crap and good to swap in a Duramax
Which is what ChrisFix did, thanks to YouTube $ (not cheap)

troop space = more gear

 

I have some first hand experience with them. The na engines are underpowered for what most people are accustomed and the way they are geared highway speeds are an experience. These are surplus for a reason, driven by a bunch of teenagers like rental cars off road for the last 30 something years. So I don't think it's so much they are unreliable as they are just beat.

The newer turbo engine seems fine, my friend has 3 of them. The army may have retired him but I dont think he knows that.

 

Did you know you can push over small trees with a 1151?

Now you do.

 

FPNI

 

Surplus HMMVW's don't always come with two matching keys. Stupid surplus.

 

Why don't you have one?

 

Did you know you can push over small trees with a tacoma? I do

 

haven’t figured out where to get one yet that’s
-imported
-affordable
-good spec
(If Land Rover would have to be 100 series I believe it’s called, troop carrier w/ or w/o windows, larger diesel engine variant)

 

lol, I hadn't tried
