I started back in 1988 as a m113 driver/crewman and I have to admit this thing was a lot of fun. It was so easy to drive had the sticks to turn, forward, backwards. the M113 didn't get a fair shake, I know it didn't have very good armor, but it made for a lot of fun in the mud.

The only type I every drove was just after they got the wheel, M113A I believe?

I never saw them with the wheel, but I remember as a "18" year old Soldier driving the M113 always reminded me of playing the game "Battlezone" (i think I am really showing my age)

You know I can't recall having to tow one back and we really did beat the crap out of them. For reliability pretty damn good.

I agree, I think they were a blast also, maybe not the most armored vehicle in the Army's inventory but Hella Fun

The military was the M151 Jeep. I used to take the CO's all the time because it was fun to drive and made easier for me to do my job as a commo chief and laying commo wire. I was fortunate to operate and drive most of everything in the Army due to my assortment of duty assignments. I always trained and licensed on all assigned unit equipment. From 5 ton tractor trailers, 5 ton recovery wrecker to bull dozers and clamp trucks. My 348 is 4 pages long. This is my current ride!

1999 dodge 2500 van wheel chair lift
I know it looks so similar to the color of the CUCV of my day and that is kind of scary but I absolutely love it. No, it is not the 1967 Pontiac GTO that I always dreamed of getting but with not being able to do so many things that I truly enjoyed without this and the power wheelchair then I would have lost all independence which would have been devastating. C'mon just got this bad boy a few months ago it was what I could afford and it has all the necessities such as adequate lift in both size and capacity, full transition seat for the driver and manual hand controls. Yes, I love my 1999 Dodge B2500 and was very fortunate that the last owner took such good care since it still looks as if it just came off the showroom floor.
