I have been\u00a0galavanting around the country for the last week and a half from drag races in Florida to a big media conference in California. In between those two things, I had a couple of days to kill and Chad was tied up with family stuff so I hooked up with my pal Elana Scherr and her beau Tom to stay at their place for a couple days. They’re super cool people and great friends who happened to have a day off on Monday and knowing me like they do, the pair figured out some cool stuff for us to do that day. Knowing me like they do, Elana and Tom decided to bring me to a place the likes of which I’ll never forget.<\/p>\n

Since the early 1970s Veluzat Military Vehicle Rentals has been the premier place that rents stuff like tanks, jeeps, and trucks to movie companies who are making war films, television shows, and other productions in need to heavy iron to set the scene. They’ve done nearly 1,000 movies and television shows during that time and one of the reasons is because they have an incredible inventory of vehicles. Simply put, we wandered around this joint and were given clearance to take photos and show you exactly what the guys have on the “lot”. So what do they have?<\/p>\n

Tanks by the dozens, innumerable trucks, Jeeps from flatfender Willys to CJ5 and CJ7 models, armored personnel carriers, cranes, hot rods, fancy cars, and even 1970s era desert racing trucks that were used at races like the Firecracker 500 and other notable jaunts through the rocks and sand. Everything you are going to see in this gallery is real steel, but not all of it is “real” so to speak. The tanks are all actual tanks but some are dressed up, meaning that what looks like an Abrams may actually be a British Challenger or a T72 Russian unit or something along those lines.<\/p>\n

The army trucks range from M715s to huge 5-ton jobs, along with a totally BangShift approved 7-ton Mercedes that was imported into the country decades ago and has been used in several films. These guys did movies like\u00a0Red Dawn, Rambo, etc.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I could go on all day but I’m not going to. The below gallery is a visual tour of the Veluzat Military Vehicles inventory. Visiting this place was one of the coolest experiences of my gearhead life. I asked for one of their several Sherman tanks to take home….request DENIED.<\/p>\n
