Can you give me more info. on location? I live outside of Calgary and don't know Calgary well at all.

I'm a bit of a car collector so, I might be interested...

Thanks!

Jeff

Basically its at Chinook Mall, so hit Mcleod Trail and turn off at 61 Ave, which is in the middle of the mall, you will see a CIBC, and a small strip mall BMO Bank)

Next you go down 3 blocks and just past the Tracks (City of Calgary LRT tracks and the CPR Tracks all side by-side, you see the rig parked inside the gates closest to 61 Ave. I just saw it today, but this place is a high end place, I dont know how long its sat there. Its basically in behind the Chinook LRT station.

Wow! Nice truck but, its a little much for even me. I may be interested in something a little smaller though (not Humvee).

You can put your Jeep in the back and all your gears... NICE

I think you can get them in the US for half the price.

If I had the money and room to get a random military vehicle, I would pick up one of those.
I remember seeing one of those on Kijiji years ago for less than 10 grand. It was tempting...

It has the internal beadlocks and the oba system so you adjust the tire pressure on the go. Must be canadian surplus as the m151a2 in the states is a mutt. Hmm could haul an atco trailer on the back and still pull the jeep trailer.
