Can I throw a friendly reminder out there? Guys this is a thread about a used MRAP being put to use by a department. They already have it, its pretty much a done deal. Cheap shots at someone making a logical point as to why an armored vehicle is necessary in certain instances of modern police work have no purpose. Infact the very need to explain why an armored vehicle would be needed it to someone who disagrees on a personal or political basis should have never been needed either. Don't like departments having MRAPS, APC's, or anything else? There's plenty of sites dedicated to complaining about the police.
This site is dedicated to Military Vehicles past, presant, and future... not cheap shots, political and personal philosophical rhetoric, arguments, etc... Can we get back on topic of the actual truck? This is a cool thread with some useful posts and pictures I'd like to see it remain open as a build thread. I believe there may have been a general warning already posted by one of the moderators.
