One of the rotating pics on the main page is an old military vehicle with a for sale sign in the windshield.
Does anyone know what that vehicle is?

when I was in Moab a few weeks ago, there was a whole big group of them at Slickrock campground for the whole week. They are pretty cool

I have heard they are capable rigs. Randy, what did you see?

unfortunately i never actually saw any on the trails, only in the campground. but they seemed like they were pretty capable, and I know some of them were running the harder trails.

I was talking to one of the guys after he had run Hell's Revenge, and he was trying to explain to me the feeling of going straight down a very steep slickrock descent in a cab forward vehicle like that. That's got to be an experience.
