Charlie, we drove Hili (Plural of Hilux?
) on-post (left-hand-drive!), but all of the Afghan National Army that I saw drove Rangers.
As for putting armor over tires, I guess they could not afford bullet-resistant tires.
When I first deployed, they told us to not raise the cabin on our MTVs, the hydraulics could not support the added weight of the armor.
No problem.
We have Sergeants insisting that we do not properly PMCS (inspect) our trucks here unless we raise the cabin.
That is not part of the standard PMCS. Also, even though I try to understand cars, you show me an engine, and I will say "Yup! That is an engine!" I cannot necessarily recognize a problem.
