    Our New Departmental MRAP

    Here is the nearly finished project...Still need to install fiberglass poles on the front bumper to arch over the top to push any low wires up over it. Also we have all the drivers getting prepped for training by the military as soon as we can work out the logistics.

    Our New Departmental MRAP

    Thanks...Interior is still tan....Emergency lighting, siren and radio installed today. Not sure the about the emergency lighting and siren since I don't think they will be driving it fast enough to have move too much traffic out of the way but I guess they might come in handy in some instances...

    Our New Departmental MRAP

    Our New Departmental MRAP

    Yep Indiana...The insurance thing lasted about 5 more minutes than I thought it would. I think they used something like 250-300 gallons of fuel driving it back. Still cheaper then paying to have it hauled. Best rate we could find was $3/mile loaded and it was about 800 miles.

    Our New Departmental MRAP

    My department just brought back from MS a MaxxPro to be used by our SWAT team. It will replace an aging Peacekeeper that has more than it's fair share of mechanical issues. The guys that went down to inspect it and drive it back called our insurance carrier before starting back with it to...
