All Terrain Warriors campers

Ok, thank you very much John, I thought the V hull was a Nato wide thing, but was not sure. Thanks for adding that which the 1000 words of the photo did not convey.

Very cool idea, and I like the low COG as well. I fear many of our vehicles are very top heavy. At least we have enough room to sit in them with full battle rattle on now, unlike the old HMMWV. They are also loads more comfortable to ride in which no one is complaining about either!

Regards,
Brian

No worries Brian,

I just thought it was a real coincidence me taking that pic only a couple of hours before your post....they aren't the sort of thing you see every day here.

Hey Brian...you know I made the comment about no injuries aafter the IED's.....I just read that there has been 31 of them totally wrecked by IED's with zero fatality.

Found this pic on the net but shows a rare trayback without the side bins,,,you can see the V-hull a bit clearer.

And if you are interested, this is what is replacing our ADF landrovers >>> Hawkei's

Last time I checked, Land Rovers were not quite that large!

Big is good
we need something huge to fill the space available in the 2 new "amphibious" (read aircraft carriers) ships the government has signed up to
problem will be I dont think we have landing craft that big
but that has never stopped the powers that be going on a big spend on useless equipment (sea sprites - collins class , etc)

I thought they had a deal with Daimler Chrysler for G series...

they do. i think the hawkie's are more for tactical transport, kinda like the ASLAV. also MAN got a nice big contract for a stack of 4x4s + 6x6s, to replace the mogs and macks.

[PKDreamers]

I seen four 4x4 and a 6x6 G series on the way to home the other night . Not sure if they where RAAF or army both play near our place.
Look pretty cool looking trucks .

[Ford Prefect]

Yes John,

Those photos show it a lot better. That looks like a very nice design for the truck. I also like the rear seating. It looks like a guy might actually have some room to maneuver in there. I personally think that the G and the Landi are not the best choice for much of anything the military has to do. They get places, that is for sure, and that is great for a training environment, but for war times I personally would want something a little more beafy like the last photo you showed. Good clearance, with large tires, yet still a low (all things considered) COG. To me it is akin to when we replaved the venerable jeep with the HMMWVs. The jeep is great in our own country, but the HMMWV was far better for running around in other nations. Now the new JLTV and the ACV are much better than the HMMWV.

Militarily it boils down to the simple truth; those who do not evolve die off.

Thanks John for the tour around your factory & giving my wife & I the chance to see some of your latest developments.
That grey Hino is very impressive .
I also got to see a parabolic spring setup on a Mitsubishi , very nice indeed.

Thanks again for your time much appreciated John.

Hi David,

Yes. Good to meet you and Dee. Also thought your camper was awesome ... certainly one of the best (if not THE best) home made camper module I've seen on the back of 4wd ute.

And wait till you see that Hino sitting on the big singles. It's going to be so tough. I'll definitely post pics then but it has to be finished by next Wednesday which was why all the guys were going hard on Saturday when you showed up.

Regards John.
