Lovely isn't it? If I get one I want it loaded out like this one.

That is a snorkle on the hood. It can take 30 inches of water and 5 hours running in a dust storm. Can't be imported because of smog controls here.
Good look'n ain't it?

I like the "self-defense" option... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think I'd take the back seat or shotgun... I don't wanna drive!

Lets see the kid with the lowered honda car running a fart pipe cut that jeep off <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Can you think how much fun that must be to develop?

The J8 is a military version of the JK Wrangler, produced at a Chrysler plant in Cairo, Egypt. Targeted for use by overseas governments and armed forces, the J8 is not available in the United States because it will not meet U.S. emissions requirements. The Wrangler Unlimited frame is reinforced for a maximum payload of 1,339 kg (2,952 lbs) with leaf springs in the rear. The engine is a VM Motori 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel with a five-speed automatic transmission. The J8 also features a unique air-intake system with special filtration and a hood-mounted snorkel that enables the J8 to wade in water up to 762 mm (30 in.) deep and tackle sandstorm conditions for up to five hours.

Available as a two-door with an extended pickup bed for personnel or equipment transport, or a four-door multipurpose vehicle, it can be produced with numerous body and seating configurations in either right-hand- or left-hand-drive. Heavy-duty bumpers with tow eyes allow the Jeep J8 to be easily transported by air.

That looks suspiciously like a Ma-Deuce up top. Is it?

Doesn't look like a fifty to me. Being on an Israel gunship I'd guess something in a MM around .40 or so.. Them guys have developed some really lethal wepons.
The little one would be a NATO caliber same as a M-4.

I don't know. 40mm would be larger than a 1.5" bore, and it doesn't look nearly that large. 40mm was the size of the M203 grenade launcher hung on the bottom of my M-16, and the one on the Jeep doesn't look anywhere near that.

Sorry, I meant .40 calibre. Might even be a .30 cal. What ever it is I'd rather have one of them lectric guns up there.
