I'm glad you did not post a pic of a deuce and a half. My old butt starts hurting again, everytime I see a pic of one. ;)
When I was still in the fire service we had 2 of them on loan to my Dept as water tenders from the US Forest Service. It’s really strange going lights and sirens to a fire at a blistering pace of 56mph (governed out) on a 65mph highway 😂

Cars don’t quite know what to do…usually I just drove with the lights and sirens off till I got to an intersection.

Gama Goat. You poor bastard. That used to be the 1SG’s ride. Don’t know why he didn’t get more respect. 3 cylinder diesel right behind the cab…
I was a mechanic back then. Gama Goats were no fun. They had like 56 u-joints in them, between the six wheel drive drive train and the front and rear steering and that flex in the middle.
They were swimmable, but I never saw it happen. Plenty of 113s swam, though. Those are pretty good vehicles, a little light in the armor, though.

U-joints huh? Driving @ 30mph on rd march in M113 APC u-joint exploded near left drive sprocket, shaft and whatever ate a basketball size hole in armour floor where you could see the ground , the floor was only 6" beneath my left foot, before I could even pee myself. Nicknamed the Flintstone Squad

All of my experiences with APCs was fixing what you guys broke. I never saw a hole in the floor like you describe, but I watched a guy snap the ramp off of one by backing up with the ramp down and against a stump.
