Overlanding in Afghanistan

[Rubyredfozzy]

Since I can't go out in my own vehicle for a while I thought I would post some pics of the ones I find around camp. There are a ton of awesome rigs here so enjoy.

Nice cruiser, looks like a standard UN ride. Watch out for potholes, they can be nasty over there. Be safe in your travels!

Ya man. It's a common rig around here. I wish it was mine. I want to try and keep up with the OB family while im gone so i figured I'd post these rigs every once in a while. All the diesels around here make me jealous.

I love that these trucks come with such heavy duty cv axle shafts. I remember putting an upgrade similar on my jeep. They were not as solid as these though.

Here is the unicorn of the camp. A blue rig is not common. Matter of fact its the only one I've seen in a month and a half. Unfortunatly its still just a plain LC.

Here you have the TATA xenon, the most capable 4x4 from India. I have not had the pleasure of driving this yet but I will soon. I have to trade in my land cruiser 70 for it soon.

Just a little closer look at the ARB gear mounted on our HQ truck. It's funny we have this rig to basically ru. Back and forth to meetings.

This land cruiser is pretty sweet. It's a troopie I think is what they are called. It's set up to hold 12 guys. I'm sure we could think is some cool stuff to do with the crew compartment. View attachment 53040
