Lots of money…a set of Frag 5 doors is $12-18k
When talking armor, there are a lot of pieces, the TM is very confusing to most.
Than there is Composite Armor, this can’t be used with armor plate…

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.

Not the site police... But I think you're gambling to get tossed too. Wait a bit and GP will have them available 75K. As for a cocktail, a double screw driver and I am disabled. Build it out of plywood.. cheaper.

In the rain these trucks leak like a sieve. Gasoline was a fluid the last time I checked.

Plan B Trucks sells units meant for bullet resistance and such. Probably cheaper to buy from them that build yourself.

There are measures that can be taken to mitigate / eliminate the truck leaking like a sieve particularly if you intend on fortifying it in the first place and are no longer concerned with hatches opening, etc. It's all dependent upon your application.

They would have to find a loophole or something in their existing govt contract. I think it's a possibility but only in small numbers and off the book type of back room deals. It would be a large risk for them but people have done more trying to make a buck, so anything is possible.

Armor hasn't been sold to the public directly/intentionally since the 50's. Some has come out through back channels and other means here and there. And armor plates certainly get mixed into scrap streams. But often the demil code will ensure that it's out in small unusable pieces.
