Is this is another piece of evidence that points to the discovery of the g (wagon) spot.

If not, that leaves the less likely ( but sorely needed) options of a vehicle to fulfill the role of RFSU mothership for patrols and additional firepower as required. Not that 6 diggers 1000km from support need anything bigger than a m79 orF 89 :p :mad:
Now that would be an appropriate use of. 0005% of the ADF Budget!
Cheers, Dave.:-)

under the canvas cover in the back is a rear facing seat, does that remind you of anything?

The G Wagon spot is overrated and in the realm of urban mythology. :o

(At least over priced)

Ugly bastards, these G-Wagens.

given what the intent of the vehicles design is, its not the worst choice of tyre..

Check out the size of the sway bar, thats more of a limiting factor in offroad handling than the tyre is.

Given they have F+R lockers, wheel travel is not as big an issue as tyres.

However the BFG ats will be a reasonable choice for most duties, given the bushmasters / etc. will be doing the serious offroading...

Sure it is...

I dont care how locked up your drive line is... if the rubber aint grippin your going just as sideways into a world of roll over and recovery as the guy whose not going anywhere because hes crossaxled... And with the weight of those things....... Actually thinking on it... fully locked up your probably in a world more hurt because youve pushed yourself past the point where the unlocked dude would have had a good long think about it and not decided to redneck his way into more trouble than he was eqquiped to handle.

I think I saw these vehicles too (no pics though) and I think (lot of thinkiing here....ouch!) there was one with what appeared to be a radome all tucked up neatly with what appeared to be some pretty heavy duty framework and hydraulics involved in the lifting frame.

Sure does:
Eating bulldust, Sunburn and dizziness during short halts as the world continues to move away from you.



Not to mention extreme nervousness with a 200l diesel drum behind.









Oh, and the ability to add a 2nd rear seat, this one facing forward with a hot redhead photographer and a long drive back from Townsville.......
but that's another story;)
