    If you look at my first posts link it tells you that a tank can fit through a stargate. Even the M1 which is a monster .

      The alpha site gate is indoors now, and there's a nasty 90 degree turn to go through the gate. Making that turn in a vehicle would be difficult to say the least.

            But we don't. Will they fork it over?

              Well, Atlantis Season two
              Spoiler:
              we have it on the Daedalus.
              As well, we have Asgard transporters on the Prometheus, originally, they didn't have time to put Asgard sensors on it, so we had to use locators, and I am not sure if they updated them yet.

                  i havent read all of theposted so its probabaly been said but to dismantle the jeeps and tanks before transit or using asgard transporters on the prommie or a asgard ship to beam the gate up to a secure wherehouse say at area 51 then massing your viercles there then simply sending them through there and simply beam the gate back to the gate room.
                  For all the pollution woes on Earth, will the Human race end up taking those problems into space in the future?

                    They may be able to build a lazy-susan style turntable device to rotate incoming vehicles, similar to railway ones.

                    I'd like to point out that this should now be the lastest post in the thread but it's not, see:

                          I've always wondered why nobody goes through the gate on an off-road motorbike or a quad bike. You could mount a fairly meaty weapon on a quad.

                              I have never understood why the SG teams would have to walk everywhere. O.k. , on a potentially hostile held planet stealth may well be preferable to speed, but surely a recon mission on an uninhabited or non hostile world would be far more efficiently executed if the teams were mechanised. And a team mounted on 250cc trials bikes or quads fitted with chain guns would definately look cool.

                                Lol, plus when they walk they can only really explore a fraction of the planet, on all of those "uninhabited" planets that they discovered there could have actually been incredibly advanced races, just living on the other side.
