Oh I wouldn't want one either. Cramped inside, crap visibility, way too nose heavy.The weird thing is that this isn't the first A1P2 I've seen on the civilian market (and I'm not just talking about the Midwest Military 1083). I'm wondering if they are just going to sell them off like all the earlier trucks eventually. With the garrison glass installed it's not like it's truly armored. Splitting hairs but it aint no MRAP that can drive through a mud hut and shrug it off......
Still don't want that 4500 lb monster. The novelty wears off fast. It's just a HUGE amount of extra weight and less visibility. And you can't just install that without counter weights on the back of the truck and you don't have the massive electro-hydraulic lifting rams that lift and support and level it...... WAY more trouble than it's worth but someone is going to spend an asinine amount of money to get it anyway I'm sure.
I would say someone f*cked up somewhere. That is a VERY new cab. It has 5 point harness seats.
Would not surprise me if that auction gets pulled down before bidding or whoever wins doesn't actually get to buy it. My guess is this is a mistake on several levels. Probably shouldn't have gone to auction and probably should have been marked for destruction.
That should not have a DEMIL code of A. Even regular soft cab FMTV's have a DEMIL code of Q.
DEMIL code "A": "Items that have not been modified or redesigned and which are identical in design, structure, composition and utility to an equivalent item in the commercial market, will be coded DEMIL code "A". "
Unless you consider that MME's truck being for sale is proof that they exist "on the commercial market" or did at one time. I guess one could make that argument. But then you definitely better be coding soft cab FMTV's as code A also. None of this makes sense.
It's not missing the AC per-se. It's a replacement cab (accidents happen), and as such you have to use parts from the old cab or order them separately. Same with the gas pedal. Why it comes with gauges.....
My A1P2 seats came from a cab being scrapped because the truck was in an accident and the new cab came with new seats so the old seats were literally going in the dumpster - wrecked cab went to a local scrap metal facility to be destroyed.
You can buy them, straight from Rieker if you want. The part number is here in my spreadsheet in my signature.
That would be a better place to see it ! I have the cheap whamo brand levels glued to the the center dash but i dont like them ! The original is much bigger and better looking (more impressive looking )

If you want to figure out your own mounting, etc and don't mind it being clear plastic instead of blackout plastic - this is the same thing from the same company:
I designed and printed this mount for mine incorporating a globe compass and a pitch meter.
That looks good !

Judging by just the people on the LMTV fb groups who have spoken up that they will be bidding (some quite seriously explaining why it will warrant paying untold fortunes for it), and factoring in the point-of-compass profit flippers seeing a potential quarter-million-dollar truck with it, and the people who are holding their cards close to the vest....it's going to be a long and stupid auction.
