Yep, that's me. Tank Net is lots of fun. You should read Manic Moran's whole journal from his time in Iraq. Lots of Goat Ropes. He and his platoon had two tanks in a high speed chase through their AO one day. He was begging for a light bar for his Abrams that day.

> Ryan, you have any more massaged photos of your proposed/concept vehicle?

I can't take credit for the photo. I did a line drawing that I posted on steel Soldiers and another fellow did (Jeff) a photo concept (the one I posted over on TankNet).

Then there's the guy (Hot Rod) that's actually putting a Deuce crew cab together. He's ALSO putting together a Deuce frame, a Mk48 PLS cab and two 5 Ton steer axles for a Mini HEMTT Deuce.

I wondered the same thing. Would have worked great for the Cannon Cockers I think. And for a S4 Command truck. Place for a radio operator and kit plus cargo space for gear that the S4 always wants.

I wondered if anyone would get a kick out of those photos. Seems like I hooked Ronzo at least.
