Neat. I had one years ago. It was a great little vehicle. I couldn't believe all the guys who said they remembered them in Vietnam!

The Fox was the Ferret replacement. Saladins served with Ferrets in the Heavy Recon role. They are the same era as Ferrets.

Toilet paper has a lot to do with this entire discussion...

As soon as I can, but not an emergency.

Can anyone haul an ATV from Teaneck NJ to Ohio?

RE: engine, someone has already installed a civilian ignition system. That's a good thing. Is the carb stock?

The photo shows the later model, not Vietnam-Era.

The M-60 cradle is an M-143. The M-60 is considered a medium machine gun, not a SAW. M-143 show up for sale often. For Vietnam-Era, you want what is known as a long pintle M-143. The later short model is for HMMWV.

So much of this entire discussion is simply trying to reinvent the wheel. None of it is cheap, none of it are going to give you the results you expect; the protection, cost or maneuverability. Properly armored, you are talking an expensive and heavy vehicle. All the way around, you might are...

Its called a tire mousse (pronounced MOOSE) and replaced an inner tube for durability. Its a big foam donut. Common on racing off-road bikes.

very good point.

Need a new Zerk fitting as it should have one-way valving to hold the pressure. As for mounting the minigun, up front of course! Plow the road!

The law reads the same in Ohio, but in 18 years, including lots of wheeled armor and lots of driving around, with no plates displayed, I've never been pulled over. The "test drive" clause is my excuse should it ever occur.

Very nice.

That would be a **** of a combination. FWIW: there's a guy in southern Texas that is REWATing the 76mm on his Scorpion. With an approved Form 1 and a good machinist, it's not that tough. But I like the idea of the 20mm, Justin.

Like a Scorpion, this is what you want: CVR-T Sabre A real tank, not some APC.

I have a set of light weight but bulky parts I need picked up in Morris Plains,NJ to Dayton, Oh. Any help appreciated.

Supply and demand....its that simple.

These types of armored security vehicles have been around awhile, but here's some good photos: BBC News - In pictures: Curious vehicle on the road to Sirte
