    Price of a full frag 6 armor kit

    Price of a full frag 6 armor kit

    I have a difficult time believing a cocktail will disable the truck but everyone is free to their opinions. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. It's not for everyone just some.

    M1114 w/ Soft Top?

    What's odd about this is these sold complete up until just a few weeks ago. Now all roofs are being pulled as well as slant backs. Its a shame really.

    Not easy to tell from this drawing but I believe so. The check valves are on the passenger side in the rear of the truck on the fuel lines attached to the body of the truck above the frame rails. See encircled area.
