I googled the markings stenciled on my MTVR, and got multiple hits for the 2nd Marine Raider Special Operations Command at Camp Legune in North Carolina...

Yup. Like Jezza said, speed never killed anybody- suddenly becoming stationary, that's what'll get you..."

I appreciate the civility of this discussion. We can agree to disagree, and still be okay with each other...

Lol. You may be kidding, but for years I have seen people simulating wearing their seatbelt, sometimes driving with one hand, so that they can hold onto the seatbelt against the force of the retractor with the other hand. Ironically, simulating wearing a seatbelt does not look nearly as much...

I will agree that people who don't want to wear seatbelts will reverse-engineer an argument to attempt to justify not wearing their seatbelt, but I believe that fear is almost always their primary motivation. Sometimes they will cherry-pick freak incidents to try to bolster their bogus...

Once I've made a purchase to confirm their representation that they will sell to private individuals, I will share that information. Can anyone else do better on the prices for those part numbers, to private individuals?

The problem with that theory, is that you don't get to decide where you go in a collision- that's all up to the physics involved, and if the physics involved are sufficient to cause injury, they are WAY beyond human speed and strength. Bingo- he didn't jump out intentionally- the truck flicked...

I will share that I am a retired cop, and I've been to countless collisions. My younger brother was an ALS (Advanced Life Support) paramedic, who also has been to countless collisions. Neither one of us has ever seen someone die while properly wearing their seatbelt. Every single traffic...

I suspect that the MK23A1 (the Ready To Accept Armor version) comes with the same passenger seat box as my AMK23 (which was born with armor), and that the MK23A1 leaves the factory with some kind of spacer rails underneath the passenger seat, which are discarded if/when armor is installed. So...

Guys, the subject of this thread is not whether it's safer to wear seatbelts or not. That thread is located here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/is-it-safer-to-wear-seatbelts-or-not.195836/

I just got the price quote for the door handles- they are about $385 for the pair. I've asked if they can do better on the price, but I'm wondering if there are any other sources for Oshkosh parts that we should be checking. Anybody got a good vendor they wanna recommend?

We're thinking about the "bifold" idea too, but with the two ATV winches supporting the first section, we don't think that we would need anything else to support the front of the second section. If this concept graduates into a tri-fold arrangement, then we would need support legs at the...

We're becoming attached to the storage space under the two passenger seats. And we're working on a drawbridge-style rear door powered by a pair of small ATV winches. It would serve as a rear deck when horizontal, and it would serve as at least the first section of a ramp to load and unload our...

The seat bolts down to a rail along the back edge, that is part of the cab. The passenger seats for the armored MTVR are shorter on the other three sides, so that they sit flat on the armor. Once the armor is removed, the seat won't sit flat anymore- it rests on the rear rail, and then tilts...

...they don't bolt the seats or seatbelts down properly when they remove the armor prior to sending them to auction. We found our driver's seat loosely (and I mean LOOSELY) bolted down with only two of the apparently four mounting bolts. The other two were missing. The female halves of our two...

Excellent! My wife wants a backup camera on our MTVR too...

That is so funny- my wife and I are going through all the same things, to include the idea of relocating the intake and exhaust for a pass-through. The idea that we are working right now, does not involve doing that, but does involve cutting off the short vertical wall at the front of the bed...

I just came across the part number for the air intake snorkel cap, if you want to add it to your list- it is # 3362146.

I just heard back from Oshkosh Defense, regarding the key-locking exterior door handles. The part numbers are 3506900 and 3506901. At least one of those has an NSN number. They also referred me to a distributor to buy them from. I spoke to the distributor, and they're going to get back to me...
