M151-A2 6 Wheel Drive ?
I ran across a M-151-A2 in use on a farm recently. But what really got my attention was it's a 6x6. It has 2 rear axles, a longer rear body tub to accomodate the 2 axles and 2 rear seats facing each other. Can you guys tell me anything about this version? Factory built, experimental, or aftermarket?
Thanks,
BRAD

If you find that it is one of the original 6x6 military experimental prototypes, I hope you buy it. Something like that should not be turned over to bubba or relegated to the scrap yard. Even if you don't want it, you could always sell it. I'm sure someone would want it. Of course all this depends on it being on of the rare originals.

Brad,
This pic was shown of TNJ's website a while back. The caption was "XM408" which appeared to be both factory built and experimental.
I agree with Raymond..... go back to the farm and look at the jeep closely. It may be an actual prototype. I still talk about a WWII 6x6 jeep prototype (MT-TUG) that we drove around a boy scout camp in Pennsylvania in the late 1950's. It was ONE of 15 built. Don't know what happened to it over the years.
Here's one of TNJ's earlier 6x6's from a few years ago.
Looks a little different than the stump jumpers now being built.
Regards,
Joe

Not possible since the geometry is the same for both axles therfore what one is doing the will be doing also. The only time they will be different is off road when one wheel is on a hump and the other is not. If you are going fast enough to roll in those circumstances then you probably should not be offroading!Mr. Jeep wrote:Somebody sent me pics of one that they had built a few years back asking what I thought. I said you would'nt catch me riding in one on the thought of those two rear axles going everywhich way with that independent suspension. (ie, one would fold under while the other splayed out on a turn).

Our chapter president has come across a prototype MV called the Alley Cat. Only 4 were known to be built and his is the only one known to exist.
The Alley Cat looks like a scaled down hummer but is built using many M151 parts. I understand while there were only 4 Alley Cats made which were 4x4's there was a 6x6 version of this vehicle made in a bit greater qty (60 or 80 I think).
It looks like a scaled down hummer from the front, but is the size of an M151 and has a body like an M151. The idea for this prototype was to utilize the gobs of M151 surplus parts that were available.
If by any chance this vehicle looks at all like a scaled down hummer from the front, take a second look. It may be one of these prototype vehicles.
