That is American Ingenuity!

It looks like in needs some armor between the driver and the engine compartment. Other than that, you have a low-buck MRAP.

Hmm, not sure what I think about that one. Need time to ponder, pretty ingenius though

It has armor between the driver and engine. The engine is outside the M-113 hull.

Actually it looks like they cut that armor out of the front so the dash and firewall from the truck remain. Of course I would think the engine would be more likely to stop a large caliber bullet than the aluminum of the M113.

You are right, but only cause its Thursday.

kinda mrap ish

I think that is a pretty good idea. If they swapped out the gay street tires for some 16r20's I think they would have a bad a$$ truck. I bet they could built a fleet of these for the cost of one new MRAP!

Were there not Vietnam gun trucks that used APCs mounted on the back of trucks also?

Its a 113 on a 5 ton body. All it needs is a MK 19 on top .

 

[mooresM35A2]

[crazyplowboy]

I'd take it

These aren't intergrated like the one above, but I knew this was an old idea.
