The M 151 Jeep from the 70’s was set up like that. They also had a tendency to try and flip at any thing over 40 MPH.

I tried to get DOD to put camber compensators (remember those from VWs and old swing axle Mercedes & Corvairs) in the M-151 and keep them around. A Hummer is just too big for many tasks. Plus it won’t fit inside a CH-53, let alone a Frog!

BTW, you CAN drift a M-151 going around some of the corners in the ville if you have 4 scared Marines in it, first time outside the wire at night, driving from 1st MarDiv HQ to Red Beach.
