plenty more at globalsecurity.org, these are just a couple of my favorites...

p.s. these are American vehicles, correct me if anybody else uses them too...

[ArmoredDov_D9]

Yep. They're American.

If I'm not mistaken the M1 Grizley have those mechanical moving blades\graders on the fore, moving the dirt infront like vishers in a car.

Do you think it can withstand a 150kg belly-charge?

[Seoulstriker]

Bump.
