I disagree completely. There has been an extensive and dedicated discussion here on the merits of this truck and building more. Its exactly what this site is about. As for his eBay ads, OTHERS brought that up, not him. He stuck totally to his topic. From what I understand, this site is dedicated...

Have you considered using a pinion disc brake kit at both ends?

This was the 2011 National Convention for the MVPA. It is TOTALLY subject to the membership's participation. And while the public is welcomed, it is the MVPA convention. It was not advertised or promoted as anything else.

Glad to help out on the shifting. And- indirectly- on helping you get your M-79 mounts. Sounds like you're really getting there. Brakes are easy to tune.

Ditto for me: one Hardigg case with drawers and 2-3 aluminum cases. I'll have a table inside but don't know the number yet.

It's Oregon! The weather is perfect, in the 70s, low 80s.

OK. More photos...

Thing?

The Japanese fought the war using their own code. We did as well. Can anything they did truly be considered worse than our own conduct: Fire bombing hundreds of thousands men, women, children, elderly, infirmed all in their own homes, hospitals, schools, retirement centers, etc.? Today we call...

I have been in the "Events" game a long time and learned back in 1976, statistically, the 3rd weekend in July is the dryest in Ohio, hence the Dayton Air Show, Mid-Ohio Vintage Bike Week, NHRA Columbus, but also the HOTTEST. Every year!

ATV tires will handle the weight, no problem. But Charlie is right; you give a Mule too much traction and the tires can't slip as need. Too many folks are just expecting these vehicles to perform like mini Jeeps or like a SxS ATV. They will not.

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Equally important is to use a good metal primer first, and plenty of it. Its worth the effort. Been using Gillespie for17 years on armor vehicles. Do it right, let it cure, it will wear like iron.

My suggestion in regards to building any GT is to keep in mind these modifications were done in country using whatever materials they could scrounge, then attached and fashioned as best they could. In other words, don't make it machine shop perfect. Bolts don't have to match, edges don't have to...

This has been covered at length several times before: US armor can't be imported unless it is going to a registered museum trust/foundation.

Considering what restored MBs go for these days, sounds like a good example at a decent price.

Purpose-designed for IED protection...lots of those in the US.

Oshkosh is a great company and will remain very important in many areas besides military trucks. But what a waste of our money turning over such a truck to the FBI. Geez, like a bunch of lawyers with badges need armor.

Very very cool. Really nice design.

As is typical among Liberals, banning something makes the abuse go away; Hmm, like cocaine, heroine, K-2. Or handgun crime in the UK (up 500% in the last eight years). And banning armor would solve a problem that does not exist. And if it were banned, someone with criminal intent would find a...
