- *****Beware of wind noise. Mind your speakers*****
It was a windy day when I took PM097 (2011 USMC ITV-PM Growler) out to Rowher Flats. I will be getting a lavalier microphone and hopefully capture more windless sound next time around.
At 1:03 you can see the limited-slip differentials in action. The ITV's use a Ford 8.8 diff with Eaton Detroit Truetrac helical-gear style internals which is a bulletproof design.
The terrain is much more rugged in person. The video footage doesn't quite do it justice. I also stayed away from the really rough stuff because I didn't have my skid plates on for this trip. This was more of a test run and also to get a little better idea of what I need camera/audio speaking to put out some better content. I did have my DJI Mavic PRO drone with me but the wind was too strong and I didn't feel like losing it in one of the deep ravines.
Just a few details about this vehicle:
Designed for the Marine Corps to be internally transported inside the MV-22 Osprey. There are 2 primary variants. The M1161 LSV (Light Strike Variant) and the M1163 PM (Prime Mover) which was designed to either tow the EFSS 120mm Mortar or its M1164 Ammunition Trailer.
Motor: MWM Sprint 2.8l 4.07TCA Turbodiesel
Transmission: GM 4L70E
Transfer Case: NP241OR
Differentials: Ford 8.8 with Eaton Detroit Truetrac helical-gear style internals
Suspension: Air Bag (adjustable with onboard air)

True successor to the original Jeep imo. Much more like the jeep than the actual brand.
I saw your USMC M1163 at SMC today. Sweet ride!
Thanks!
I'm trying to think where you might have seen this. By SMC are you referring to Santa Monica College? Just curious. I think the only place I took this thing a week ago was USC village or something like that. There aren't many of these out there and I think I know most everyone in Southern California that owns them.

Suzuki samurai with a roll cage.
Someone once offered to trade their samurai for my ITV....I politely declined..haha Interestingly enough, there are guys in Brazil who put the MWM Sprint turbo diesel motor in their Samurais. That would be a pretty cool combo. Its the same motor that is used in the ITVs.
That is quite spiffy.
Thanks!
