I know all about the safety issues as I road in one of these with the Frag5 kit on a daily basis. I plan on doing a quick escape windshield if I do the armor package.
But keep in mind that this vehicles is not being designed to go into combat. it is a show vehicles and will seldom see the open...
Have all the stuff from that site already. But unless you have a plastic forming machine just doesnt look right. To me at least. So I am just going to try and find some de-activated ones.
Almost all of them though are not the specific ones I am looking to build. Im wanting the new composite type LVOSS launcher not the older metal tube style.
Older ones have the 6.2L, Most now have a 6.5L turbocharged.
parts are NOT easy to locate. Ebay is usually the first place I look when I need a part. Also prices on parts are pretty high. Just paid $1000 for a full ECV hood/grille Assembly.
I have seen some decent runners for about $22k lately...
Yep, It already has a 6.6L Duramax in it. And I am looking at some different suspension upgrades, I have been talking with J. Austin Fab. about strengthening the suspension.
Hey you never know! hahaha
No I mainly want it for use at shows n maybe movies stuff and what not. I would do it for the added value and authenticity of the vehicle. Not to get shot at :wink:
Agreed. As cool as it is and even if it has paperwork, I feel like Uncle Sam might still come knocking. I don't really think they want anyone knowing how to defeat the FRAG5 kit.
I plan on turning my project HMMWV into an M1151. As most you know, armor survivability kit's are not really avail. to us normal folks, making it a little more difficult to build an M1151.
So I have been talking with a buddy of mine who owns a local CNC shop about making some doors and body...
I tried three different times to build these and it just never turned out the way I wanted.
I may come back to it when i find some real launchers to model off of.
Not a ton of pictures out there and I need to see it in real life :/
