This is gonna be ONE HELLUVA competition in a program that will/should get a ton of attention. 6x6's are the future with the massive weight gain of 8x8's. To be quite honest at the weights we're seeing we should be moving to 10x10's to lower ground pressure but fashion holds sway.

Kinda disappointed that the Patria 6x6 isn't being entered.  As things stand with the projected lineup I think (just my opinion don't hate) that the K806 WAV will win.
