    I'd be surprised if those trucks didn't have ABS. Everything new we did when I was at BAE Systems had them.

    Some lakewood lower control arms and BFG drags should fix that wheel hop.

    That's the RG31 (I think) piece of shit I you ask me. I drove and fixed MAT-V's by Oshkosh and love them, cat C-6 Allison trans. Had 34 trucks and never blew up a trans or motor or grenades an axle. The A/C systems suck ass but that's about it. We also had about 28 Maxpro an them things were fucking garbage, we parked them all except mission needed.

    I'm pretty sure the final version of that vehicle has two axles on the back.

    That's the Cougar MRAP I think.

    Did the Oshkosk M-ATVs you drove get the up armor package? Last I knew they didn't pass the blast requirement and needed the mod kits.

    I believe the video is a Cougar as well. I've seen them in person and they were less than impressive.

    RG33 were the dual rear axle trucks. As for the Mat-V's. we were slowly turning them in for upgrade while there. Only took like 3 months a truck and we didn't have many spares.
