International MRAP

[M1075]

I like the looks of this one. Hopefully we can get thousands of these deployed in short order and then maybe we can get one surplus in 20 years!

probably not released without gigunda demil of all armor...

I saw two of those on 18 wheelers this week in the Jacksonville, FL area

So basically, the tires will be for sale in 20 years...

RE: Re: RE: International MRAP

Yup - sorry folks. Under the current regs, if they get surplused, any armor is to be cut up for scrap.

It is a cool truck though. Hopefully it will keep some of our sons and daughter safe in the sandbox.

That is what is known as the Maxpro

 

[avengeusa]

the buffalo and cougar are better, but i am biased that way

 

[wb1895]

Yup that is a Maxpro. I have used them in Iraq and they are NOT very good for what they are. The best one the Army has going for it right now is the Caimen.

Just wanting to clarify for those who will do a search- not trying to point out an error

Sorry I am just a grunt, spelling is not my primary MOS.

How'd like to see that pull up to pick up the days receipts? Brinks...eat your heart out.

Thought you all might want to see 40 years later . Vietnam guntruck WILDTHING a 5 -Ton to the new MARP. WILDTHING served in VIETNAM 1969-1972 Dco 815th engrs.

Single rear wheels are the MaxxPro; dual rear wheels are the MaxxPro Plus...to handle extra armor.

Hopefully by the time these come up for auction, the regs will have changed for the better & we can buy these at auction!

 

[bulldog_mack13]

They do help but im partial to the Buffalo also. Mack chassis and thats what I cut my teeth on when I was training when they came out.

= Theres nothing to stop a large IED .

Yup, I know them. They are just as cheap as the crew I work for.
As was before, remember that your weapon was built by the lowest bidder.
Unfoutunately, here in civvy land, we don't have the needed standard of MILSPEC. Oh well, a few more years and a good pension...

Even if we civvies can't generally get our hands on the newer armour, there's one of our members turning a Deuce into a Baby HEMTT. If someone else doesn't have a welder and a loooooooot of sheet metal to create an unarmoured Caiman out of a Deuce, then I miss my guess.

Good grief, I missed this...is ALF being closed down? Didn't Oshkosh or Freightliner buy a controlling interest in them several years ago? Are they being consolidated, relocated, or terminated?

 

[nhdiesel]

Wow...I have to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. I'll start with that black "2009 Protector".

The nice thing is, there is a vehicle there for every price range- turn key, drive away; or "do it yourself kit". I see the racks of bodies, engines, axles, tires.........
