We just got a few of these at work.. Im in the military and these are used to haul our equipment to all the air crafts on the flight line.. They are not Rangers but they are BEASTs. They are really nice inside and built to handle people running them in to things lol... Anyway enjoy :)

 

^^ So pimp!

 

pretty awesome!

 

sweeeeet

 

Imagine rocking that around town

 

Looks awesome. Does it have a shortened wheel base on that rig?

 

^^ looks like its been shorten a bit

 

Id have to say, YES :)

 

I'd drive one!

 

Damn what a bumper.

 

I like the pintle hook on the front. Are those magnets dangling from the front? To pick up nails and stuff?

 

yea that picks up **** from the flightline so it doesnt get sucked up in any air crafts...

 

Ok, dumb question, why do they shorten aircraft vehicles like that? What do you get over just having the stock length?

 

Well to tow equipment you really dont need that bed! Plus im sure it has to do with turning radius, but i could be wrong. We deal with SHARP turns because the parking ramp is very limited on space and we have to maneuver equipment around air crafts so Im sure all that takes in to account.

 

Improved maneuverability.

 

I wonder what it weighs being only maybe what, 7 feet long? lol

 

So, do those trucks roll out of the factory like that or is there a seperate company that gets them and cuts the frame up?

 

Im not too sure, maybe our military employees have made skillz in metal work :-P

 

You have anymore pictures of them? When I worked at the airport everything except my truck had short wheel bases for the reasons stated above. I used to be a Jet fueler for ASIG.

 

I wont be able to get some more until next week... Ill take pics of the rear and side on monday!

 

Cool. I'll look forward to seeing them.

Just in case anybody cares, these are what I used to drive:

I loved being at the airport all day and being around planes and getting to drive huge truck that are to big to be street legal, but it got boring and the pay sucked so I moved on.
