Milsurp vehicles

I just need to wait until a year or two once I buy a house. You can get a lot of 'surp truck for under $20k though. My personal goal is pic related:

Perhaps most famous as the vehicle that George Miller turned into pic related:

By deleting the 2nd axle and building a new carbody over the Tatra central spine. If you watch closely in the movie you can still see the central spine/driveshaft design and the swing-axle all-independent suspension in action. Also, the engine is arguably radder than the twin V-8s was supposed to have in the film, as Tatras traditionally have air-cooled V-engines culminating in a 19 litre V-12 turbodiesel with individual roller bearings on the crankshaft so that it can run for limited time without any oil pressure whatsoever.

That sounds pretty rad, desu

Holy shit, those Slavs were crazy enough to put an independent suspension on something that big?

What's the difference between deuces like the M35 and 5 tons like the M809 in terms of maintenance, handling, design, ect

>require tons of maintenance.
This, with parts that can be a bitch to find. Often they end up with modifications to use commercial parts.

Was looking at the BRDM-2 on there. Super interested, but it's minimum 15k to bring it over.

Isn't one literally just a 150% scale version of the other?

If you want something relatively cheap and easy to maintain, have you considered a CUCV?
