Military Shelter Carrier Thoughts?

[Hogsnapper7]

Hello everyone! Excited to be here. Not my first one but definitely a unique one.. Purchased as a 2 door shelter carrier and just now finding out this is a 2000 xlc2(Black) that was painted(by military supplier), modified, and used as a display(many years ago). Although an ugly duck at the moment, it is in good shape. The plan is to take the shelter off, media blast, and paint it back to stock black. Also going to remove the on board hydraulic system, install the rear xlc2 door panels, etc. I am in the central Florida area.. Thank you for checking it out! Looking forward to this build!

I'm sorry, but this is the HMMWV forum...just kidding. a/c and turbo?

Wow, Nice find. Is that all 12V electrical?

Thank you! Diving into it this week, looks like all 24v excluding the cab electronics. Yes has AC and is the turbo version. Excited to see how much better they perform with a turbo.

do not media blast this truck...body work and paint are same as painting an airplane for HMMWV's and Hummers.

Very cool, looking forward to seeing the interior.

Looks like it will do wheelies with a little effort.

if there is a fuse box under the dash, it is probably still 12v.
