Haha I was waiting on someone to comment..it had the Banks inter cooler system as well. One of my mechanics wanted to take the Banks kit off and ship it home for his truck but we ran out of time.

I would have loved to bring the whole truck home but Customs would have had a fit! All the POL would have had to been drained and all the dirt removed. IDK how I would have got it registered?!?! It would have made a good truck to fetch the mail in or pull down trees. Then it would have to fit into a connex..wasn't going to happen with the time line we had. We couldn't even bring home fuel cans we rarely used.

Oh man reminds me of all the fords I saw in sadr city, all the private contractors rolling around in their up armored trucks. I don't know how you pulled that off but bravo. Not really so much of that here in Afghanistan. What's your MOS?

11A, And it was supposed to be a KBR gun truck but I requested one since we were occupying a JSS. It's hard to use a Stryker to do odd and end jobs.
