If you are tall, make sure you keep a paperback handy. The transmission hump in those things gets really hot. If you're tall, in order to keep your foot on the gas your leg needs to be against said transmission hump. A paperback makes a good heat shield. Also, not very fast nor a good ride with the old style seats. Good offload performance so long as there is room to maneuver.

Looks like it is missing the TOW Launcher .. what's the fun in that ?

If I win the lottery .. I'm getting one of these for the Drive way, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uDWwUToP_8 that big thing on the end of the 155 mm recoilless rifle is a nuclear rifle grenade

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM-RzPHyGs yeah just imagine it a 2LT, a NCO , and a specialist in a jeep with 4 rounds of ammo, usually has a small trailer to carry ammo and RR propellant charges it also had a tripod for ambushes, and it was also mounted on M 113

Now that would be fun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W54

It was one of the warheads I was trained and qualified to work on.. so by the rules I can't comment on anything youtube or wiki says about it or even confirm or deny I ever actually did work on one or even saw one.. but I can say I was really fascinated by this one and I took the course that also qualified me as a crew man with both the 120mm and 155mm RR launchers, that's unclassified, mostly just shot the 50 cal spotting/ sighting rifle a lot and a few dummy rounds ... it's just a letter identifier on your MOS

Easier to park in the Driveway than a Pershing Missile Launcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM-31_Pershing too many support vehicles neighbors would complain
