This was my daily driver before I got my Pioneer street legal. Titled as a 2010. M925A2 ROPS. 8.3 Cummins turbo diesel with an Allison 5 speed automatic. Just went from 14:00-20's to 16:00-20's. Any of you folks into military stuff?

Awesome! The government recently released the 7 ton MTVR's to the public. They are bad to the bone. Fully independent suspension, 425 hp Cat, 7 speed Allison riding on 16:00's. What is the trailer with the cover? I don't think I've seen one of those before.

Unless you’re talking about the round topped one? That’s the Pioneer tool trailer on a M116A1 chassis

I have a M105A2. Haven't measured it yet to see if my Pioneer will fit in it. If it will I'm going to buy some loading ramps and use it. I have a Globe all terrain equipment trailer I've used a couple times, but the ramps are too heavy to lift by hand.

I'm curious to see what people do with the surplus MTVRs that just came up. They are a really cool truck.

I have a book at home with details on turning one into a really cool expedition camper

An MTVR or a HEMTT? I have seen 2 different HEMTT campers but never an MTVR
