    Advice on getting a wheeled armored vehicle

    Tascabe, Thank you for that info! Larry seemed very nice on the phone. Too bad that Mk2/3 listed on T-K is already gone - it looked pretty cool. I figure in any field there are good, trustworthy people really worth knowing - those folks deserve good public feedback. Thanks for your input. I...

    Thanks! and another question? Thanks a bunch you all!! M813rc - I appreciate ya.

    Advice on getting a wheeled armored vehicle

    av8or – Thanks for that perspective – it’s the kind of insight that I need. A Ferret was kind of our first thought and probably will be where we end up. Finding a nice one (preferably a Mk 2/3) at least to look at, is on our ‘todo’ list. My brother & I are neither old nor fat, but we’re not...

    Advice on getting a wheeled armored vehicle

    Is this in respect to initial outlay for the vehicle, or like incidentals and hidden costs after we get it home? I know there's always more to want and every system seems to beg for more accessories.

    Advice on getting a wheeled armored vehicle

    Hi all, My brother and I are entering the hobby and wanting to purchase a wheeled armored vehicle. I’m hoping for some valuable perspective from with wealth of experience here.
