MRAP deuce...?

[tamangel]

Almost looks like a form of MRAP rear body on this deuce..looks good I think.. Seen outside through the fence of a business that rebuilds and sells MV's. It was closed so couldn't ask anyone or get too close up for pics..

Anyone seen anything like this in service?

been there covered it. looks like poop imo bad welds and crappy body work.

 

[tamangel]

so is that what it is? A body transfer to the rear of a deuce and as you say, a poor job? has this rig already been talked about on SS? Still like the concept, however..

It is a deuce with custom body work done to it. There is a thread all about it on here.

Too bad a real IED would turn that truck in to a jiffy pop bag.

I bet getting that spare down off that door is a beotch.

Is it real armor or faux armor? If it's real it must be heavy.

 

[Derrickl112]

fake armor. look at the wrinkles in the sheet metal...it must be paper thin

 

[Cucvnut]

that's because to thin of metal and the welds to hot.

No that isn't why. If you read the original thread that was my thought as well. They used one sheet of metal and tried to bend it down over the sides is why it wrinkled like that, not welds. He wanted one piece of sheet metal on the top instead of running welds on the seams.


Westy, would you try to take the Batmobile over an IED? It is a movie prop NOT a real world vehicle meant to withstand explosives.

Like it or not for what it is, a concept truck.

He claimed in the Q&A to have over $35,000 invested in building it.

If he builds another...

 

[swbradley1]

I'll bet he got it all covered by the movie.

Fake armor. Built for Hollywood. Then sold.'

I agree, it looks cool, but that's about it. I'm sure it's overweight and doesn't have the properly angled hull to deflect any blast. Some idiot it the 'burbs will be happy to have their 'armored' zombie hunter truck I'm sure. Good luck getting more than a few MPG! lol
